So ..by what your saying I could possibly harvest it now, cure it properly, and my end result would be a good heady high as if I planted a sativa only strain?
If this is correct that would be a great way of adjusting to my preferences.
Otherwise I'll just wait for the 50-50 ambers.
Also @ canni13is; thanx for the info on curing time. I will try a longer curing time.
Don't harvest now if the trichs are still clear, they haven't reached their full potential yet. Wait until they are all (or almost all) cloudy/milky. I say this because some strains will go from all clear, to all cloudy, and then start to amber. Others might start to get some amber while there are still some clear trichs.
bigtopsfinn Reviewed by bigtopsfinn on . Questions about harvesting Hey guys. I am 35 days into flower of AK 47. The website says it flowers in 50 days. Can I go by this? I don't have a microscope or anything and I have no idea how easy it will be to see amber trichomes as this is my first grow. I'm growing 2 plants of AK-47 and 1 Fast Sweet Dreams. I grew with cfls for veg and now a big 400 watt cfl for flower. I couldn't be happier with the size of the plant and number of buds. It will be a good size yield for sure. The trichomes look very clear right now but Rating: 5
