So i'm in week ten of flower and still no Amber.I've heard that some sativas.Don't really get Amber.When do you think I should harvest

If you are all cloudy on trics you may want to peel a bud from a stem and take an inside pic. My last grow Apple Fritter was about 30% amber on the outside but peeling a bud back convinced me to wait another 7 days till they went all cloudy on the inside.
I used a node 3 stem run about 1/2 way up it skipped a spot on the run. Just grabbed it and wiggled it from around the stem but kept its stem intact. Click pic and push it back in.

I mostly look for a high ratio of cloudy to both clear and amber. IOW, the more that are cloudy the better. Preferably, for us, all cloudy is best, but there are usually some of the others. It's a matter of personal preference.

O k it all about preference i suppose. i've only done about 8 plants so I don't have
Too much experienc but what if you have mostly cloudy trycombs but only 75% of the hairs have color and the rest are white. Do you usually wait?
Till all the hairs have changed colors and are curled in

 

[JIMKSI64]

There is a specific chain of events during flowering that lead us to a harvest. The color change on pistles is the first. Then the retraction. And then one that I have only seen in one grow and that is the cyalxys plumping up. At that point the outer tops should be dripping with trics and frosty. This is harvest window and everything else is preference.

I don't start looking at trichomes until most of the hairs (pistils) have turned a dark amber color. The pistils at the top of the buds are usually the last to change color.

it all about preference i suppose

Some folks like a higher percentage of amber trichomes because the weed is more mellow. Our preference is to have very few that are amber, if any. We'll take amber over clear, though. IMO, there's a wider harvesting window than many folks realize.
