Hey!
If what you looking for is a strong sativa high then you don't need to wait for amber trichomes.
CLoudy trichomes are at the highest THC level and with few amber trichomes those are great for a sativa high.
I've used the 11/13 on Super lemon haze and amnesia haze to help them finish off.. strong sativas sometimes need that to help them finish off.
I noticed no difference in potency with the plants I harvested before prolonging the others with 11/13.. yield was about the same too maybe 6-7 grams diffrence.
Hope this helped. Good luck and happy growing!

12 Hours or less darkness for blooming.
Some sativa strains indeed need 13 hours of darkness
and in nature the night takes longer too.
I think i would take the advantages of 12/12.....( higher DL I- Output)
But i see no Problem in going for 11/13

Diary choiceHey should I have 2 separate diaries, one for each single strain?
Initially I wanted to do one diary for each year, but then remembered I have different strains and that the diary is also made to track each strain separately.

To trim or not to trim - bud sitesAt this point during flowering, this is where I see different information. Should I allow all bud sites to do their thing?
From reading, the growing community is split where some people trim off lower and others seem to say if there’s a bud leave it.Week 5
