How close to harvest ?

looks like pistils are 50% colorized... need a 30x or better scope to assess trichomes... density of nugs are also a good metric to use. all three keep you more consistent. What is your preference on the pot you smoke? the more amber/later you harvest, the more couch lock the buzz will be and knock you out when you come down slightly. an earlier harvest with less amber triches will not put you to sleep as likely... no matter what when you come down froma stimulant, which marijana is regardless of how anyone feels while high, you get tired. so, start takign notes of when you harvested and relate back to that when you smoke and jot down any adjustment you want to make... try it later? try it sooner? doesn't matter... it's about what you want to get out of the buzz. you can google for different opinions, but a drug can impact ppl differently. just loko at nyquil.. . for most ppl that shit will knock you out for 10-12 hours in a near coma... while a few get extremely hyper from nyquil. This can happen with any chemical we put in our body.... it may not be the same for you. it is worth your effort to try early - middle - late harvests. if yield is all you care about, go long of course.
