Fellow growers. What's happening!
So as the title says, is the general consensus on when to harvest....wrong? I'm starting to think so. Here's why.
Since I've bought a microscope I've been checking out all the dankest weeds that get me the highest. Theryre always solid milky trichs. VERY few if any amber, and always a few clears.
Now the consensus seems to be to wait until the plant is showing mostly milky before harvest. Until the plant is mostly colored/receding pistols...
However. I harvested a few branches to test.. upon harvest I had a couple amber and the rest clear. After a 7 day dry in the cannatrol, they are SOLID milky, with a couple Amber's. This means one thing. If properly dried, the trichromes Continue to evolve after harvest. Leading me to believe the general population is harvesting way too late.
Another thing about harvesting. These times (when trichs are still clear) actually line up with breeder reccomendations on when to harvest. I always read and hear the breeder times are way off. People go weeks past them. I'm starting to think the breeders are right. And the general population is wrong.
What say you?
