How to Tell When To Harvest Weed -Best Quality & Highest THC – 2022 Update
Harvesting weed at the wrong time is one of the most common rookie mistakes and in this video, we teach you the absolute best way to know when itβs time to chop your marijuana and weed plants.
From seed to harvest, marijuana plants have a broad range of growth periods. The duration of the growth cycle may depend on several factors, including growing medium,environment, nutrients and genetics. This combination of factors means that there is a high variability in how long it will take for peak and optimal THC and CBN levels. For the most part, it takes about 9 week of flowering for buds to fully mature but based on the factors listed above, it could be more or less.
The most effective way to tell when the best time is to harvest is by using a jewelerβs loupe to magnify the trichomes and use the color as a guide. Depending on the color of the trichomes, you can choose for optimal THC or CBN content and if you are going for the highest THC content, wait until all of the trichomes are clear. If you want more of a sedative high, THC converts to CBN and when trichomes turn amber, this signifies conversion.

Bruh great detailed video
Hey buddy can you harvest part of the plant a little early with that head high effect and then the rest when it becomes milky and some amber? So essentially you would be able to have one strain with 2 different affects which i think would be the best way to do it. Could you do that where you harvest 2-3 stalks without it hurting any of the remaining plant?
Nice vid
Well done, great info.
What if your buds has orange pistels but keeps growing new pistels white ones
you wait 10 days to cut when your trichomes already all milky?
Thanks for all the help
Question , if your using synthetic nutes to feed how will the bud ever yellow as your always supplying it with nutrients it needs so it wonβt yellow
So it’s a good idea to start the flush when the chomes are cloudy?
I got a uk cheese auto at the moment, its at day 6 week 14, first day of week 15 Saturday, its only just starting to ripen its about 10%if that π₯π¬π§ been in flush 3 week upto now

One thing i know for sure is my man here loves saying the word Senescence ππ I swear I hear it in every video and to be honest I’ve never heard another person say that word in my life. And im not saying that as a bad thing lol
Do the branches in stages. I tried that last season and it was nice having each kind of stages of maturity.

Whatβsπthe reason to removing salts?
Thank you…. Its my first year growing in MD a few years after we legalized. Ive got an autoflower that should be ready to harvest soon and a photoperiod im still not sure about the sex.
Either way thank you. Honestly the picture snap shot noise was a good signal to note this and I did lol. 100% I was worried about chopping the plant before I knew definatively if it was ready. Clear or Milky white sound straight forward enough but after 3 months I was nervous over it.
Hello! I have a Gelonade (Sativa leaning) and a Georgia Peach well into the flowering stage. Probably a couple of weeks. ? 1 of the buds on the Gelonade is turning brown at the top while the rest are big and still green. Trichomes are smaller and appear white/clear. Uhg… The browning buds are reds, browns, and sticky. I see another turning, so likely okay. I had a stroke a year ago that effects vision, so trying. Some yellowing on leaves, but minor. Seems like healthy plants full of potential. Concerned about the one browning bud. Still sticky, trichomes and leaves shriveling. Am I still okay? First time outdoor deck grow. Thank you!
would it be safe to say if you see about 10 % amber on bud they are fully milky
I think I have one of those strains where the pistols never brown. 70% of mine are white still but bud site trichomes are 30% amber so I think I should be good to chop

Im on week 11 on some blue cheese autos, the buds are fat, dense and short brown pistils, the trichomes are cloudy. The leaves arent yellowing though, ive been flushing for a week with ph balanced water
Should i chop?
Bruh my Early Lemon Berry rbx is soooo close it’s killing me. I have a lil amber but more clear than milky. So I’m going to miss 420 but Memorial Day is going to be a banger.πππ
I’ve seen videos where people ramble on for 45 mins. And still don’t explain everything. You covered it all good and fast. Thank you. Very helpful.

Very helpful. Thank you!
Iβm 58 years old but fairly immature so I hope I qualify for a adult
What setting on your camera do you use? I have a Samsung s21 ultra and an AC Infinity Jewelers Loupe, but I can’t seem to get that good of pictures.
Right now Iβm struggling with this problem can I send you pics of my plant?
TY ππ―π
I canβt get your discord. Can you help?
About how many days does it take the trichomes to go from clear, to cloudy? My outdoor Super Skunks’ have been clear for 8 days now
