can anyone with knowledge of this strain help me out.... ok i have a mini microscope and the trichomes are all cloudy the ratio is about 20-1-2 cloudy-amber-clear..... my question is this.... about 50% of the hairs are orange while some are still white.... its been about 8-9 weeks of flowering.... when should i chop... no pics yet... got to borrow my friends digital camera tomorrow... buds are big and everything, im just wondering if i should let a sativa go longer.... thanks for the help...
let it go until u see no more growth in the buds just like maybe a week or so..... see what happens then... and then make a decision the longer it stays up the bigger and better the buds get...
Not necessarily. If you let the plant go for too much longer than what it's suppose to, the trichomes start deforming /biodegrading and that kills the potency of your smoke. I would not go by just the color of the hairs. 50/50 cloudy amber, pull a little bud off because I have one of the 60-100x microscopes and I know its not easy to view the trichs without setting them on the table to look at them. Good luck
Wrong. Truth! You won't get that without losing possible potency. Myself and another member were talking today and we figure that the cloudy tric's clear up a bit right before turning amber...weird but thats what we have concluded. And yeah it is kinda difficult to view the tric's while on the plant...atleast for me it is when the wind won't stop moving shit lol About 20%-30% amber tric's and you should be chopping like Paul Bunyon
+ rep thank you so much........ and i was going for a heads up high anyway.... i think i will chop on sunday.... ill get my digital and take some pics... most growers let sativas go 50-50 amber cloudy.... seems you'd only want to do that with indica dominant strains right?
