Something that’s been plaguing me for ages and can’t figure out why.

Do you guys notice at the end of flower, last week or two the smells seem to taper off a little?

It seems to me the smelliest point is when they still have a few white hairs.

I’ve kept the temps low so don’t think they are evaporating away.

On some plants I've noticed certain smells around the 6 7 week mark that don't last long a few days maybe that ain't there come chop dry and smoke .... if you was making hash you could chop and process to get these flavours and aromas I think but not in flower

I understood that when 80% of the pistils were amber and trichomes turn white was the time to pick. I think that's when THC is highest.

When most of them are milky Vs clear that is the point it's at its highest level of THC content however I like a bit of amber in mine yeah maybe a bit earlier might taste slightly better but lacks in punch imo anyway this is why it's called a harvest window I suppose cos there is a point you get the best of both worlds you get it down at the right time anything less or more and it loses something

I think that's cos things change and morph in bloom and after I figure those ones are probably very volatile hence the loss/change over time there's more to it of course but it's part of it bud
 
Ah glad it’s not just me. Was doing my head in lol

These photoperiods seem to hold their smell a lot more than my autos but they are receiving almost 50% less light so less degradation of terps is my reasoning.

The Zkittlez smells so strong it’s almost overpowering at the moment. Deffo gotta be cautious as which way the winds blowing when I light that up lol
 
This Fish scale strain by Cookies I am growing out stinks in veg and it only gets more pungent in flower. I've never really had any plants that smell like her in Veg. She smellys very gassy even in veg. Like super stinky. Almost like a very skunky kinda smell :bigjoint:

Aye it reeks dead sweet tho at least was smoking some of her earlier as it goes it is tasty not the most potent for me though it's ok for daytime though mind you my tolerance definitely ain't low so there's that too I suppose

Yea it’s really sweet to the nose but super lemony/sour this phenotype when you break up the trichomes. It’s blending with the blueberry muffin in the tent to make it smell like I’m growing a bakery in there lol
