It's going to depend a lot on your preferences... if you harvest early (when the trichs are all milky), you'll get the energizing/head effects from your grow... if you wait until 10-20% have turned from milky to amber, you'll have a nice, balanced high - the cerebral effects WITH a relaxation... And if you wait until they're mostly amber, well, make sure your couch is comfortable! :-D
Your choice... there IS no "better" .. it's all in what you want to achieve.
Good luck!

I am coming to the end of my first grow and I am drying in a grow tent with a in-line fan and carbon filter, my question is, Do I need to add an additional fan to my tent for more airflow during the drying phase or will the inline fan have a sufficient amount of airflow?Other. Harvest - Drying

Harvest/flush time?My Special Kush#1 is today on day 32 of flowering. Today i checked the trichomes and apparently they are mostly white/milky colour. I read that this strain has a 7-8 weeks flowering time, so i was surprised to see them milky. I dont know if start to flush or wait another week.

Hi guys.
Planning for my drying
I’m thinking of uesing my loft space, it’s dark, temp sits between 14c and 20c and humidity between 45 and 50
I can add a fan to keep the air moving
What do u think is this ok or is it too dry and not warm enough?
Thanks 🤙Week 8

1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all
2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed
3) wet trim, cutting each branch off separately & then hang drying
