I don't want to say how many weeks she's been flowering because I am interested to see if you guys can guess how much longer she has to go.
I know sativas shoul be harvested at a minimum of 9 weeks. I am totally looking for a energetic head high, I really can't stand the "couch-lock" high.
I've read that in order to get the good energetic head high you should havest when most of the tri-chromes are cloudy and some are amber, correct? People say to buy a microscope to check, thats great but no one seems to mention HOW to take the sample? Do you cut a piece of budd off? Also where on the plant would you take the sample from?

Forget the stupid 10 year old GrowFAQ chart that shows up in every other post here. If you want a racy, energetic high then grow a sativa and harvest it when its done. I'm sorry but harvesting a hybrid or an Indica early to try to mimic a natural Sativa high doesn't even compare.
Monitoring Trichome colors is not for beginners because its just too easy to fuck up and harvest way too early. Just wait until the plant is done and enjoy the genetics for the plant you've grown.
I'd say 6 to 8 weeks and your second picture looks like its seeded is it bagseed. Why are you acting like your not asking for help if your thinking of cutting them don't. The first pic looks good and the ones in the background also look decent so keep growing you should definatley not be in the harvest section go into the indoor threads and figure out how to fatten up those buds they look like they could be week 3 or 4 so maybe even ten weeks left if its bagseed.

That is exactly what I think I'm going to do. I put so much time and effort into this grow that I really want to a) not harvest too early and b) let it grow to its full budd capacity.

Well the pictures aren't really enough information to make a good guess....I am on day 31 of Flowering. The budd changed a little from yesterday, today you can that the Calyxs' enlarged and look like they are ready to burst open. Cant wait to see what it looks like when they open!
I am using 150W HPS and a T5 2' in my grow tent. The strain is some form of bagseed sativa? Do I look about on track for day 31 ? Give me your honest opinion so I can make the proper adjustments next grow (got a bunch of female clones ready to flower after this is finished)
Sharp looking ladies, btw. Don't get caught up with ironing out times. When she's ready she'll let you know because the hairs will be receded, she'll be full, and have an amber glow. The leaves will all be yellow or missing and it will look just like a natural autumn cycle of end of life. If its a pure Sativa it could take a while but the high is amazing!

Based on the bud from its parent that I've smoked it is definitely a good head high, not that couch-lock kind...nothing wrong with that if that is your thing but I find myself falling asleep too early on that kind...

If the bud it came from was harvested when ripe,then you should have a high similar to that when yours is ripe,just let it grow until it has nothing left,no super green leafs,and no new pistol growth when that has all ceased,then think about when to harvest
Like malbulja and t0k3s Said, ripe weed is the only way to go. After you've done a few harvests, you'll realize that these tales of harvesting early for a head high are grossly exaggerated heresay. The strain, more than anything dictates the high.
I'm so tired of our friend (i'm not gonna name names, only that it rhymes with 'trick fop') going to every thread and copy+pasting the same trich maturity chart without any other mention of the other, more reliable signs mature cannabis shows.
The fact of the matter is, using trichomes alone as a gauge for maturity/peak potancy is a slippery slope.
Regardless, your plants look like they have a long while yet. Don't get caught up on the amount of weeks left, just keep the plant healthy and when it is almost done it will let you know.
