Hello sister😊 The only real infallible technique to know when to harvest is to look at the trichomes of your plant😉 For this system, we would need a magnifying glass that enlarges at least ten times, but the most appropriate magnifiers or microscopes are 50x. The trichomes of the plant are observed to see if they have reached optimum maturity. It is when they have completely reached a kind of mushroom shape and at least half of them have already passed from translucent to milky and a low rate of these are amber that the time will come to pick up. I love them 30% amber but it's just a matter of taste 😎 It is certainly the most reliable of all systems to determine the optimal point for harvesting cannabis, but the ideal is to combine them so that you can get the best conclusions. Once we have analyzed all the factors and decided to cut, it will have to be done when the relative humidity is as low as possible to prevent the same moisture remaining inside the head and can cause mold. Then we will cut, whether from the whole plant or by branches, then will come the time to manicure cannabis. The manicure is to cut the largest leaves of the plant and the leaves without resin, then will come drying in a dark and ventilated place.👍 Good luck for your grow 🌱 May the force be with you💪
