Harvesting a sativa and trichome color.

So... it's known to harvest when the trichomes are amber for the most out of your bud and for a couch lock high, but what about for a sativa? If I chop it when they are amber, will it still be an energetic high? Should I play it safe and cut it down when milky?

As a sativa grower, I like the real heady buzz, so I go for all cloudy with some hint of amber. It degrades once getting more amber, i find. :mrgreen: :peace:

morning as in just before the plants wakeup ????
yeah, just go in their bedroom early in the morning and arouse them from their slumber with a slash of death as you cut their appendages in preparation for dehydration and ultimately....smoking.

or just chop em down before you turn the lights on...either way ; )

ive noticed when its time to harvest youll easily know every time, the buds get really thick and almost all the top colas fill out with 70% more red pistils, thats a good idea of knowing how close you are to harvest, the only time i worry about checking trichs is when i see a lot of red pistils, if it has more clear white pistils the bud is still developing.

not sure if anyone has already mentioned this or not..

but some/most sativa dom. strains won't get amber trichs. They'll go cloudy/hazey.. but thats it. Once they've reached this point, its time to harvest.

good luck

peace.
