Added a comment to FLOWER MATURATION TIME FRAME OF NIRVANA SEEDS 

I always just check the trichs. Get a pocket microscope and base it on how the trichromes look. I harvest sativa strains while the trichs are still milky and haven't turned amber yet. I let my indicas go all the way and when I can spot check a plant and most the trichs I see are amber I know it's good to chop.

      WHAT DO YOU DO WITH HYBRIDS ? Happy harvest

        Depends on the hybrid and what I want from that particular plant.

        If it's a Sativa dominant strain and I want to maximize the sativa effects (head high/euphoria/trippy/etc) then I harvest like I would a sativa (while the trichs are milky/before they turn amber), if I want to highlight the Indica heritage (couch lock/mellow/pain relief/etc) then I'd wait till the trichs turn amber.  

        If it's an Indica dominant strain and I want to go all in on the Indica heritage then I'd wait to the trichs turn amber, but if I wanted to highlight the Sativa side I'd harvest before the trichs turn amber.

        Picking harvest times isn't going to make a Sativa strain an Indica one but it can tweak the effects quite a bit. Harvest based on your own preferences. :)
