    Excellent video as always! When I harvest a new strain and do a pheno hunt, I always harvest in 5 stages to see what is the best effect for me. Again, just for my specific needs. Different strains for different brains! First stage, I harvest when all clear, then 50/50, clear milky, all milky, 70/30 milky amber and 70/30 amber milky. Then I dry them the same at 65F and 55RH and let cure. I test at 1 month cure point, 2 months and three months. That gives me the sweet spot of each pheno and I keep the ones that fulfill my needs. I keep the keepers! I do the same process when I breed too. Just my 2 cents of 42 years growing. Keep educating us Mr. professor! Cheers

      @@8Scorpions Good question. It's all strains related and your specific effect that you are looking for. I had a sativa dominant that gave it's best at 30% amber with cerebral and body wellness, relaxing and a big smile (the whole package) and at 3+ months of curing. I also had an indica that was 50/50 clear and milky, that had a zombie, meditative, almost spiritual effect and cured 2 months. It's all in what you specificly want. I grow oldschool strains and landraces. Some very popular trendy strains don't even give me any effect at all. Since I don't grow for bag apeal, aromas, taste or THC levels, I cannot rush the process of strain hunting, then pheno hunting, then breeding, etc... Short answer, Trial and error is my best answer! Cheers

      Just curious though, have you ever found a cultivar that you actually chose to harvest at the All Clear Trichome stage? Seems like the equivalent of eating a green/unripe apple.

    Be careful looking for tricomes, I concentrated on that as my plants got mold and I lost my whole crop. Perhaps some video on how to prevent and or look for mold. We had a very rainy end to summer and fall, I also put some grass clippings under my plants which might have trapped more moisture and contributed to my loss. Also one plant grew against a wire fence which may have contributed. Thanks for your info, only my third year so I’ve got lots to learn.

    Clear tricomes give you a verry high effect, cloudy gives high and stoned effect, and amber gives most stoned effect. So dont totally agree with him, when you harvest depends also an the effect of the thc, harvest early will give you a very hich effect, harvest late will give you a stoned effect. So harvest when you want and how you want it to hit you ;) personaly i go for a 80/20 white/red ratio. I more of a high dude type ;)
    Recomended is try all stages and decide what you like best :)

    Always determine ripeness by the bracts of the bud structure and never determine by all the amber you may see on the sugar leaves. If the lower buds look very clear when your top colas look about ready, don't worry. Keep waiting it out until it's all ready, or some may take the tops first but beware of doing that if nanners could jeopardize other plants in earlier flowering stages.

    I find Frenchy Cannoli's view of ripeness more compelling than the amber/white glandhead ratio theory.
    As the flower itself pertains to primary metabolic activity it would be more accurate to look at mature flower development rather than trichomes, which are secondary, for confirmation of optimal ripeness.
    Also glandhead color is affected by light intensity, which causes problems with predictive consistency of overall ripeness .

    *Hmmm, a lot of folks trying to debunk this method of evaluating ripeness.* Let me give you the perspective of California cannabis co-ops and weed stores. They want the most potent cannabinoid content buds. Cali shops will not buy buds with more than about 10% clear trichomes. Buyers want exactly what this video depicts as "mature" I.E. around 80% milky and 20% amber. They won't buy buds with more than a few clear trichomes nor will they buy buds with predominantly amber trichomes because they know from experience which stage is "peak" for a given strain from sending hundreds or thousands of samples out for lab analysis.
    This business about energetic high vs bodyhigh vs couchlock is entirely subjective. The lab dosen't lie.
    That said, some buds will reach their peak before others. Don't be afraid to do selective harvesting but be smart and seal the cut stalk to prevent funk getting inside the plant.

    Odd question; so if I wanted to get both a head-high from Harvesting a little earlier at clear/cloudy and a couch-lock from waiting a bit longer for cloudy/amber on the SAME PLANT, can that be done? Meaning, can you cut off a bunch of colas and let the rest keep growing a little while longer or will it kill the plant? Like, when I cut off a bunch of my cherry tomatoes, the plant doesn't die, it just keeps putting out more tomatoes... you get my meaning? Is weed like that or not?
    Don't know that I've ever heard of anyone doing this, but it's something I'm very interested in if possible just to be able to see the difference on the EXACT SAME plant for experimental purposes...

      Keeping your plants in the dark for 48 hours before a harvest helps to increase the production in the trichomes and thus increases the overall potency of your marijuana crop. Following this info that every grower recommends, cutting the plants in cycles or over time actually leads to less potent crop. Once cut the plant, and specially the branch goes into shock, putting the cut branch in the dark is not the same as putting a planted plant in the dark. 48 hrs of dark wont do anything to a cut up plant.

    Here is a question for you doc. I appreciate the explanation but as you said they don’t all turn at the same time. The confusing part for me is that usually the top colas will mature faster. So would you base that 70/30 mix in the top colas? Or would you base it somewhere in middle or lower of plant. I usually find that while I might see 70/30 on top colas I will check the lowers and they might have 0 amber. Some cloudy and some clear. And if I were to wait for lowers to reach 70/30 then by then the tops would probably be all amber. Hopefully that made sense. So can you tell me how to deal with this?

      You’re absolutely right, I was pretty intrigued with the loophole as THCA typically smells very comparable to regular Cannabis, but not quite 100%. Also something else I took note of, visually the buds seemed a little smaller than their cured counterparts. Another thing I noticed, the smoke isn’t nearly as smooth- it seems the curing process improves the overall end quality in so many ways!
      Not attributing the size issue to lack of curing, I get that for it to be regulated as THCA, it’s probably gotta be cut before it naturally starts converting THCA into THC.
      Regardless, I think it’s cool that people have that as an option now! It feels so much better than D8 sprayed hemp flower😂

      Thank you, hopefully the other students also agree with you. The transition time can depend on the type of cannabis being grown so the key is to continually check to ensure you do not miss the ideal harvest time for your plant.
