Then again, maybe that % amber ratio of 30% is a better indicator of when as a whole the sativa is ready to chop. What do you think?
First grow: Kali Mist single bag seed (55 W 2700K CFL - small cabinet)

Honestly I don't think you can go wrong now, you're in the clear. Did you smoke your testers? I'd say that maybe those are good indicators of what the high will be like, so taking into account Sub's advice of more amber = more Stoney you can make a judgement call as to whether to let them go a little further or not. Some of the nicest plants I have seen at harvest are the ones that have been allowed to fully fade, so that all of the fan leaves are more yellow and orange than green.
I can guess that my Critical Kali will go 70-75 just because she actually started producing flowers about 2 weeks after the rest of them. I actually like a little bit of the couch-lock effect because I rarely smoke in the daytime but since I have four different strains going I'm really hoping for a unique effect from each of them.

Thanks. She's getting close. It smells great! The smell is spicy like sweet peppers mixed with a floral and grape-fruity skunky smell.

Outstanding job Syn! Are you going to start another grow soon?
Here's my Critical Kali as of yesterday, all of five feet. Flowers are starting to come in more now that she seems to have stopped wanting to go vertical.

See how she's growing up around the hood? Crazy bitch! Behind her is the Vanilla Kush, next to that is the Jack Herer, and the Fruity Chronic Juice is in the front-left.

Thanks! I am still going to be working on this grow for the next couple week. Since I only harvesting the main cola and not the other branches I can now adjust my lights to focus on bulking up all of my minor colas. This morning a fed my plant with half strength nutes and molasses. I will likely feed for 1-2 more weeks then do another week flush until I harvest the other branches.
You plants are just about to explode into flowering. Good job! I will be for sure watching them progress.
I am still thinking of trying to reveg this plant of mine after I do the second half of my harvest.

Thanks! I have only harvested the main cola. I have another couple weeks still before I harvest all of my branches. Now I can really focus my lights on them so that I can bulk them up.

Yeah it could have went a bit longer, but I am happy when I harvested the main cola. I wanted a good portion of my harvest to be a totally sativa up type of high and cutting the main cola at day 70 worked for me. Since I still have most of my plant still growing, this morning I fed my plant with half strength nutes + molasses and will likely do so for the next week. Now I can focus all of my lights on all the branches rather than just of the main cola. I will probably be harvesting the rest of my plant in 2-3 weeks.It looks great but you couldve gone a little longer imo. + rep
With time you will learn patience pays off young padawan
After 2 days of drying my trimmed main cola went from 110 grams to 70 grams. I love it!

Day 71 of 12/12: Just gave my plant zelda another feeding of nutes so she can get growing. I wanted to cut the main cola on day seventy as part of an overall strategy. Now I may let the of plant go 1-4 more weeks. I will be able to adjust my CFLs to be within inches of all the colas and now that I don't have to keep that huge main cola happy, we might she some descent growth in the coming weeks. This should be interesting.
