As I know trichomes are the most precise way to know about right time. Am I wrong?
Best to assess the whole structure instead of one part. I say pistil retraction and calyx swell is more important than trich colours.

A ripe bud us a manifestation of several factors. Pistil browning and retraction, calyx swell and trichome colour. If I went by milky trichs, my last few runs would have been harvested four weeks early.

I heard that thc turns into some other stuff with time. What you say about that :evil: ?

Turns into CBN if left to age. That doesn't negate using multiple parts of a plants anatomy to gauge ripeness though. Thc can degrade on the plant to CBN through exposure to heat and light anyway. It's an ongoing process, even with properly cured weed.

That thc is going to turn into CBN once the weed cures and ages anyway, so waiting in it to ripen adequately isn't going to cause any issues. It is an ongoing process that continues as long as there is THC to degrade.

I wish to have more cerebral psychedelic medicine. And many people saying that one should not harvest late for it. And others says that information is basically some old fart shit.

You have weeks before trichomes need to be looked at.. guessing up to 4-5 weeks. You should have some pretty fat nugs if you let the plant do it’s thing. It will let you know when it’s ready. All those white hairs will be dark & curled into the calyx. (That’s where you wanna check the trichomes, not any leaf material)

Thank you man :dunce: ! Do you think I can finish it with Plagron Bat Guano? I don’t want to use something else.

Sorry, but I just happen to be one of the guys who started out buying all the expensive bottles to learn my life lesson after I figured a thing or 2 out.. but I still run salts outside of foop (more bottles.. but organic) someone else will have to assist you there.
