7 Weeks Flower Sativa - Longer?

[ZTEC]

I have a sativa that has been flowering for around 7 weeks now. The hairs are starting to turn brown wondering how much longer you guys think it will take to be ripe for a harvest. Here's a pic.

hard to tell from the pics but I'd hazzard a guess at 4-5 more weeks. :watchplant: To be sure, get an $11 microscope at Radio Shack and look at the trichs. when they are to your satisfaction it's time to harvest :farm:

i agree with puffin, buy a little pocket scope and wait for your trichs to tell you when to harvest. with a sativa it could be several more weeks before its ready. good luck

yea what they said, i just harvested a sativa last weekend that had been flowering for around 9 weeks and was just mostly cloudy, it still had a ways to go but i was out of smoke.. let it bake dude..

This link will take you to where you need to go, It explains when the trichromes are ready, but you will need a microscope like Puffin Afatty said you can get one at radio shack for like 12- 13 dollars tax and all hope this helps

Thanks for the posts, I already have a microscope but this is my first sativa and just wondering how long on average they take? I heard up to fours months flowering sometimes Do the buds actually start to get swollen towards end for denser buds? Or is that mainly just indica's?

Sativas will also go in and out of ripeness windows. Or that is what i read somewhere.
