Amber Trichs' in (some) Autos = Lethargic Feeling

Anyone else find this? I've taken autos to 30% amber and upwards...but it's a much more "sink into the sofa" feeling than I really like. I know it varies from strain to strain...but if I were to grow Ripleys OG (for example) again I would chop at mostly cloudy right as the leaves turn color. That (for me anyway) is when a strain like this is euphoric instead of sluggish...then again it might just be me. I find you also have to slow dry an auto for at least a week to get completely rid of the hay smell. The key here is keeping RH above 60.

I do find that autos are entirely their own thing and should be looked at differently from photos...especially when it comes to harvest.

A decent wet trim will cut back on hay smell and drying time. I usually do a 5-6 day branch hang dry, chop the buds and give them one day in a paper bag before jar cure. What i've started to notice in some autos is trich stalling or just weird trich development. Like the last WW I did, some trichs turned way to early while others just stalled.

I like this cause im hoping to cut my 2 Ripleys when mostly cloudy, no amber. How was your grow with them? About when/how long did they flower and how long did you take them?

I waited until my ROG had quite a few amber trichs and, even though it is wickedly potent, I find it just turns me into a zombie. Definitely not good during the day...but excellent for the evening. I know I went well over 80 days with her. I'd chop at 70 next time.
