No that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that it turns amber, stays amber, and then after a few days of being in the elements (light, heat, ect.), it starts to deteriorate. Why do you think everyone says not to dry and cure in the light?

im not saying it doesnt degrade after harvest... you are right there; but i dont see it degrading on the plant unless the plant was dying... what purpose would that serve in nature?? i could very well be wrong, it happens alot

I could be too....I don't know any of this from experience, I'm just going on what I read. I definitely don't have the time or the capabilities to watch trichomes that closely, but I assume Jorge Cervantes and the people he deals with to write his books and articles do. As far as it happening not happening unless the plant was dying....that's exactly what's happening to the plant. Isn't it. It flowers like any other plant that does so, and then the leaves and flowers start to die once they've done so? Again, I could be wrong. And just so everyone else that's reading this know, this isn't an argument...it's a discussion. No need for boots or gloves.

I am at 55 days of flower today with 7 plants from various bagseed. I chopped down two of them that could have gone a few days longer..... but I am almost out of smoke.
I have two plants that are from the same stock. I will harvest 1 when the trichs are at 40-50 % amber and let the other go 100% amber and I will let you all know what comes of it.
See if the smoke and the high are truly that different. Check my journal in the sig for updates to this experiment over the next few weeks.

That sounds like a good idea weed demon- I will be reading because I have read all kinds of stuff, but they, the experts ,say to take buds at different stages to determine what you like so there isnt a real definative answer. I only have grown bagseed so I go by tricks color and pistels curling to determine a finished product.

That's awesome that you're doing it. I think alot of people including myself would like to know. Try and watch the "heads" of the trichs to see if they fall off, or if the trichs themselves shrink at all. I've heard that happens too so I'd like to know if you can.

i'm unsure of the strain because it was badseed for my first grow. it does seem to be very full with crystel though, so i asssume it will be good smoke. i am about 3-4 days from cutting i think. i must say i am impressed with what this thread has turned into, i would also LOVE to hear about a plant that was left, and how that effected the high, more info from everyone would be great
