hey i need your guy's opinions on when i should harvest...i've had this sativa flowering for about 6-7 weeks. 40% of the pistils are turning brownish but the trichromes still seem to be white and milky. theres not to much bud on the plant and the buds are not dense so its hard to tell... let me know thanks....
I couldn't quite tell from your pics, however i feel that the time for those are coming up soon... i found after some research that a good time to harvest is around 110 to 115 days from start of growth.. start the flowering process at about 55 to 60 days in.. flowering should be about a 2 month period...that's what i go by anyway and i have yielded great buds off it
once the trichs start turnly slightly amber is peak time. many harvest when most are milky and some are amber-ish. amber signals that thc is breaking down and you are missing peak potentcy
as far as the amount of bud.....the strain, genetics, environmental factors, stress, type of light can all effect that
let it go about 2 - 3 more weeks... unless the trichomes are bent over and amber in color... if many are 2/3 are amber like and bend chop...
looks very sativa.. can b 9 - 11 weeks
yeah wait a little longer maybe a few more weeks
they'll swell up more if you let them wait longer.. I rushed my 1st crop don't make the same mistake.
What are you using for lighting ? ANd trichs tell the tale my friend. Not the number of days, weeks, or months. Get yourself a magnifying glass and you be the judge.
