greenAFanswered grow question a year ago Only concern yourself with the tricomes on the bud not the sugar leaves, if they are mostly brown u probably want to pick ASAP. Ppl harvest at different times depending what kind of effects they prefer. The more mature (brown) the more sedative the effects. At least that's what they say, Don't know how much that actually changes the effects, I tend to believe most of that comes from genetics, but "they" ( whomever they are) say the more amber to more it leans to an indica high, and the more white the more it leans to a sativa high. But if I was u and had a 50/50 I would pick ASAP.
