Thanks for the updated information. This should help sort out where people want to go with the maturity of their plants prior to harvest. I have never gone more than 50% brown or amber trichs but I will try going to different stages when harvesting this fall with clones of the same plant grown in similar conditions and will report my findings. So far I have had really good luck once I started waiting until I saw at least 5% amber so it will be interesting to see if going 20%, 50% or 80% will make a significant difference. Do you know if going longer will affect the flavinoids in a negative way.

I saw a post by someone discussing storage who said they just stored their weed in jars in a cool dark area. They claimed their weed just kept getting better. For me I find the strength is still the same but a lot of the taste seems to be lost. Any OWTs on storage people should know about. Being vegetable matter I think freezing is the best. I say leave it a little moister than usual so it will not be brittle when thawed.
