Plants with max cbn and cbd just put you to sleep! If that is what you want, yes, let your plants over mature and most of the thc will degrade into cbd and cbn. I have never done this on purpose, but have been given buds from people who did not know what they were doing and can confirm that very over ripe buds will cause you to fall asleep with little to no high involved. These days there may be strains available with high cbn content, just like there are high cbd and high cbg strains on the market. Some strains rich in cbn are Green Crack, Lemon Kush, Bubblegum, Durban Poison, Strawberry Cough, Gran Daddy Purple, Blueberry Kush and Skywalker.

can try and buy a CBN extract and mix that with some THC so you have a base line on how the effects feel and then go overripe and compare. Clone would work best for controal, seeds are all over the place.

Letting time go towards infinity is your best bet for maximizing the CBN. I personally would recommend researching the mechanism of using UV-A to accelerate your process. Confirm full amber would be the most potent CBN time to harvest.

just let your plant mature for full amber(give or take) and then cure for 6 months. then consume and that will give you cbn dominant buds. if you ever smoked old weed, theres a specific smell and taste and look to the buds when thc is degrading into cbn
