Hello friend, the best time to harvest is when 80% of your trichomes are milky & the other 20% are a amber color another way to tell is when 80% of your pistols have turned from white to orange! Hope this helps & happy growing friend!✌️🏼

In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?Other. Mold

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!Other.

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8
