hi,
i'd like to ask if a tree is getting more color on the next cycle if i don't collect it on the previous one

The tree's income each cycle doesn't depend on whether you collect the colour or not. This means that you can collect the colour every cycle, or leave the tree alone for 5 cycles. The total amount of lympha you are going to collect is the same.
The income each cycle depends on tree type, doman's health (you slowly "spoil" sister's locations when use lympha inside) and the initial amount used to activate the tree (it is directly proportinal to this amount).

thanks for the reply!

by domain's health and `spoiling` you mean: if i, for example, kill an enemy with color, there will be less on the next cycle? i know that the red haired chick (with kind of big breast, colors amber and gold) was talking about this but i didn't understand her very well

You can see it this way.
Every domain has its hitpoints. Every time you use colour (fighting, reviving etc.) the domain loses some. When it does that more enemies appear and the trees give less colour. If a domain loses all of its hitpoint the scorpion appears and will kill all the trees in the garden and a huge load of predators appear in every chamber of the domain. It's a good idea to store some silver in your hearts because "luck" appearently means you do less damage to a sisters domain.

oh wow, thanks, i didn't know this

and hitpoints can't be restored?

Once you paint something, you can't unpaint it =/

Exactly, so think before you do something.
For example: Always think if you really need to kill that predator. Maybe you can sneak around it.

thank you guys

now this game turns into the thief

Evading them is not very hard since you can pretty much walk on the walls like spiderman.

... and jump into the abyss anytime you want to exit the chamber.

And move hella fast with Blue lympha.

Although I ALWAYS want to kill those worm things in the first mine. I'd probably have a full blown heart attack if those things snuck up on me somehow...God, they're creepy.

Anyways, I didn't know any of this. I was getting really pissed because the domain kept giving me less and less color, and I was pretty much getting screwed. I mean, by the third or fourth cycle, the place just simply didn't produce anymore color.

I think the problem is that you planted trees long time ago. They give a large income for only a few cycles.
It is very hard to seriously damage a sister's domain at the beginning of the game. Where did you find thousand or two drops of lympha to do this?

In that case, I think I need to re-think my strategy, because I've only used a couple hundred lympha before, trying to feed the first sister so I could visit the next two, and by the 4th cycle, collecting color is hard as hell.

Maybe if I planted a couple trees each cycle instead of trying to fill the garden up by cycle 2.

PS. I mean that I used lots of lympha ON the sister, as in what I DID BEFORE...I don't mean that I actually used up a couple hundred lympha before trying to feed her. Sorry for the confusing grammar xD
