about how long after hair turns red do you harvest?

Pistle color does not mean anything.

I have had buds start turning red within a week, and not be ready to harvest for 7 - 8 more weeks.

trichs still are the biggest tell of how done the bud is if you want to control to type of high you get from the smoke.. if you wait until the buds are completly ambered and the pistils are receeded into the bud you end up with couch lock... granted at this point you have gotten everything available out of the buds, from potentcy to flavor.. but you are stuck with a couch lock stone.. and some people dont want it...

i personally enjoy a headier high... so i like harvesting while there is still more milky trichs than amber trichs.... some enjoy that 50/50 mix high... it just depends on what you are looking for...

now i do agree that if you are looking to get every last bit out of your plant, and are looking for that intense couch lock type of stone then you should wait until the buds actually look ripe, and not just by the color of the trichs... but again.. its all the in high you are chasing..
