Time to harvest ?

Some plants have purple leaves at the end due to genetics, while others develop purple leaves because of lower temperatures. When it comes to harvesting, I look for a mix of white and amber trichomes on the buds. Trichomes are small, glandular structures that produce cannabinoids and terpenes. They go through different stages: 1. Clear Trichomes: These indicate that the plant is not ready for harvest. The potency is low at this stage. 2. Cloudy or Milky Trichomes: This is the ideal time to harvest for those seeking a more uplifting and euphoric high. The cannabinoids are at their peak. 3. Amber Trichomes: When you start to see amber trichomes, it means that THC is converting to CBN, which can lead to a more relaxing, couch-lock effect. If you wait too long to harvest, the effects will lean more toward a couch-lock sensation because the CBN levels in the plant will increase. Ultimately, the best time to harvest depends on the type of high you prefer.
