TricHcome Question, Harvesting etc

Hi

56 days into Flowering. Growing "Blue Velvet" 2/3 are Brown.

( "An Oregon-Thai cross with blue hues and elevating energetic high. This is our most pure and oldest sativa strain. She is truly a queen of the Cannabis court and a fovorite for 70's sativa lovers. Wrap these velvety buds on a stick and create your own royal scepter.

Specifications ~ Type: Mostly Sativa, Indoor. Start vegetate 1 week after rooots show. Flowering time: 65-70 days. - Sagarmatha seedbank catalog)


The plan was to chop it down in 9 days, thats like 63 Days...


I took a representative leave look under a microscope, and like 10% are cloudy.
- Question is it ok to look at the leaves or must a cut of a Bud?


- My lights are Optimal lumen 10k per Feet Square. So, unless I am bad at other stuff 65-70 days is the deal or just get around 50% Amber before I cut it no matter?


But, My brother cant wait, he just wanna have more yield, and thinks that pot with brown hairs is bad... I believe that he is wrong, so Need some Arguments


Will the yield be higher if I wait longer ?


Regards

The plan was to take down in 9days, due to my brother nagging ^^ So, I need some input here from the Vets to get some arguments to wait

30%-40% amber

K thx, will it gain weight if I wait another week? Just need another argument to wait, and if so how many %

Sativas can have several waves of flowering. 63 days sounds very short for a pure sativa. I'm growing Kali Mist and I'll probably be looking around 13-14 weeks from flowering (I'm only in my 3rd right now).
I would wait it out for another week to see if the plant grows more. More flowering = bigger yields. If it does, just let it go as long as you can. I'm sure you won't be able to wait as long as your plant can.

Also, look at the trichome heads on the buds themselves, not the leaves. They always turn amber faster on the leaves.

YES!! if you harvest early you will be sacrificing alot of weight. With a pure sativa I generally opt to wait until the end of the allotted flowering time, as hard as that is, but it really seems to make a difference in the yield.

look at leaves that come out of bud and check a few of them from diff locations on plant

Some advice... A quote from Jorge Cerventes' grower's bible. "Harvest when the majority of trichomes have turned amber for a body stone. Pure indica, afghani, and indica-dominant strains harvested at this late point will possess a heavy body, or couch-lock, stone. Waiting to harvest pure sativa and sativa-dominant varieties until this stage will not take advantage of these strains. Such strains are best harvested when resin glands are clear to milky colored."

Something to consider.
