It depends. If you want a more energizing effect, harvest now. If you want a more physical effect, wait until 50-75% brown

It sounds as if you're in the perfect spot to harvest NOW - you want to see about 10-20% amber!! ... if you wait longer, the THC content will start to degrade... CHOP!
Good luck!

Harvest?When will this be ready for chop. I’m having a hard time getting a good look at the trichomes. I know the goal is 30% amber. One plant has very few white hairs and one has quite a few can I wait for the others to come to full maturity too. I plan on using same tent to hang dry.5y ago
