Early Harvest= Sativa High?

[Thelowkickk]

Is it true that if u harvest early ullget more of a sativa high? if so, how much earlier do u harvest?

 

[KindGrower]

im pretty sure when ur trichs are milky white is the head high and more amber trichs body high, and half and half is both highs, but mostly depending on the strain i would guess.

 

[Thelowkickk]

Well im growing Northern Light right now, so do u think i could get a nice sativa high from it if i harvested early?

 

[ozzmanx30]

im not sure about that man, and wouldent that also lower the thc level??

 

[potorlando]

from what I've seen- if you harvest too late, THC degrades into CBD. CBD provides more of a body stone/indica effect. Now if you harvest just a bit early you will avoid the degradation, but way to early and you're just screwing yourself cause lots of growth happens at the end. If you truly want that 'up' high (I've decided I want to get this effect also). Harvest when trichromes are full but barely any are turning color then go and buy yourself a good sativa.

Yeah man you wont get as high if you cut it early, because all the hairs are not done growing. Also you would lose a lot of weight. Dont get impatient harvest when about 70 to 80 percent of hairs are orange. Or if you have a microscope, harvest when the trichomes, are amber, and are just starting to sag. Good Luck

so if i harvest with 70-80% of the hairs orange that will give me more of a sativa high compared to harvesting when 100% of the hairs are orange?

 

[potorlando]

and then go buy yourself some killah sativa seeds

 

[Thelowkickk]

yeah thats what im gnna do:], which strain do u guys reccomend, im lookin for a 100% sativa strain that wont grow SUPER HIGH.

If u cut them early Your buds are gonna be less potent...and i doubt u will get a sativa High Just grow a sativa strain Next time around

 

[OregonMeds]

Harvesting early isn't to say that you are harvesting before the buds are full grown, or the plant is mature. It's just more of don't wait until they're all amber and the thing is already dead.

It doesn't matter what the hairs are doing or what color they are either, that's a lazy/somewhat misinformed mans way to tell. And trichomes get you high, not the hairs.

If you want a high that lets you maybe get more done or maybe think a tiny bit straighter then you want the highest percentage of trichomes milky white. If you just want to completely veg on the couch, if it diesn't matter if you can even follow a tv show, go for the highest percentage of amber trichomes.

Either way it's still the same weed, smoke too much and you will still be stuck on the couch. Given that going for all amber but before trichomes droop and deform is probably the best use of the bud you have, because you'll just have to smoke less to get the same effect.

if you really want to know if it makes a difference, harvest a little at a time from early to late. Make sure you stay organized and see if it really made a difference.... And let us know your experience

the hairs can tell you nothing about harvesting. you need to check the trichomes for that info.

 

[Thelowkickk]

anyone know of any short 100% sativa strains? or sativa dominant.
