Harvest refers to the process of gathering cannabis plants once they have reached their optimal stage of maturity, typically determined by trichome color, pistil development, and overall plant development and health. Timing the harvest is critical, as it directly affects cannabinoid and terpene profiles, potency, and yield.
Harvesting involves cutting down plants, removing large fan leaves, and preparing flowers for drying and curing. Proper harvest techniques preserve the quality and chemical integrity of the final product.
