Harvest & Curing Amber tricomes vs. Mostly white pistils (medical grow)

[greenjeans]

I wonder how much truth there is to the whole clear/amber thing. I have seen, of course, tons of people saying when to harvest for different effects, but I have also read some stuff saying that the whole thing is a myth. So is it true, or not? Some material says that strain alone determines whether or not you will get an "up" high, and that clear/cloudy/amber is really just an indicator of ripeness and only affects the potency, with the caveat that amber produces a sort of sickly feeling rather than a high. These materials say that you should always harvest as close to all milky as possible.

What is the truth of this?

You can read Aunty Mossys reply above. As a med user and breeder for many years and owner of this forum, you can take that as the truth

edit: I can save you looking up

I get my meds from an afghan/kush dominant set of crosses.
Not the one you are growing but since you mention the ambers we are probably in the same med field.

Early harvest with milky trics should give your lady an energetic Up high for day time meds which she will Enjoy..and will keep her day pain at bay.

BUT..taken late with max Ambers will give her Great MS relief.

There is nothing that you can get on prescription that treats muscle spasming and nerve pain like it..so it should Help her a Lot.

The downside of heavy amber is that it will knock the legs out from under her for about 4 DAYS..until she gets used to it..
But..I always Advise people to Enjoy this..coz the sleep is deep and restful..and that is something most of us chronic sickies don't get enough of.

The sleep itself is Healing...and I normally wake up with a Happiness hangover..the loosening effect and feel good factor is long lasting.

You should have no Problem doing a multiple harvest point..

..Good Luck...

Also..if you are looking for a bit of Extra Treatment for the MS that is inexpensive with Good Results..check in with our med Mods...

ohhh yeah man,TIZ the truth,yup!! I looked for that when I needed info thats served me right well over the years and will continue to do so.soooo..yup!!:hug::Sharing One:

So is it true, or not?

So True.

When I first started canna I only every harvested Milky coz I Adore the Up Happy Hippy Energy giving high.

Then..when I got the digital scope I decided to let the girls go over Amber so I could show the photos..and Woof..it was a Revelation.

The Amber meds for my nerve damage quadrupled the Effect.
The Best by far effect was the relaxation of the deep muscle spasms associated with nerve damage.
They Melted...almost Instantly..Nothing prescription or otherwise even Touched it.

The Up high is great..it almost makes you feel Well again..but the Amber is the Miracle in the Pot..."Izzy wizzy"

Two downsides...Voracious munchies...and if you are sensitive to paranoia it can kick it off.

I never suffer..I just get great med effect..but Hubby can get a touch if he is being a Smoke Hog..:Hookah: ..simple solution is just to cut the doseage in half..and Taper the doseage In until she is comfortable with it.

A lot of med patients argue Indy or Sati..I say Affy..double harvest point for med patients from one plant..

Well I'm glad to see some more experience-based info about it. Thanks. I have two ladies just starting to go into flower in the same DWC. I believe I will harvest one clear/cloudy, and the other with just a bit of amber to judge the difference for myself.

I would go for a good Balance between Amber and Cloudy as the Amber(in doses) will reduce the pain as it hits more Body Effect. The balance to this the still Cloudy ones might give her a lil Up feeling so shes not couching or laying down all day. I have chronical Backpain from a Skateaccident in my Youth and what really helps me is Og Kush and Big Buddhas Cheese or CHeese in general as it has that nice Balance between muscle relaxing pain reducing but you still able to manage the Day. Same for the Og Kush if you harvest it mostly Cloudy.

Since I grow 1:1 ratio CBD and THC, does CBD also degrade to CBN when the tricomes go amber, resulting in less CBD?
