Careful not to confuse this with peak THC content :thumbsup: From what I've gathered, the peak THC content is at about 95/5 or 90/10 cloudy/amber.

I checked out one of those links, and it said the trichomes start out clear and amber??? I've never seen or heard of this before, and I'm kind of starting to doubt the validity of that information.

Not trying to knock ya pepurr, you're right about the early harvest = head high and late = couch lock and pain relief...

But in the end, we're dealing with plants and not machines, so each plant will have different tendencies and probably peaks in potency, maturity in trichomes, etc. The only real way to find out what's best for you, is to grow clones and harvest at different times, then see what you like best. If you choose a new strain, you'll have to do the same thing all over again. :twocents:
