Mephisto Genetics When to harvest CBD plants.

[Buzzard]

I got my 420 order today including 10 Canna-Cheese. I'm excited to try these, but was wondering if someone could tell me when in the trichome changes is the proper time to harvest a 1:1 plant? Do you use the same criteria of trichome color and clarity as you do for non CBD plants?

I had 2 strains i grew tested at a state certified lab. Both strains results showed 1:1 and 1:2 thc:cbd . I harvested at ~5 to 10% amber.

Thanks ......I usually harvest at about then as well so I will see how that goes. I will be doing several grows so I will try to experiment a little. I've never grown a 1:1 before so this is new to me.

I used the info in this thread to gauge when to harvest a CBD Crack (1:1) recently.
I chopped at the first sign of amber and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

With CBD plants I go when trichomes are 100% cloudy, or right at the first sight of amber. Pistils and density of bud mean nothing, the ripeness of the trichomes is what matters. I have had the best cases with chopping at full cloudy. My canna-cheese 1:1 was harvested with 5-10% amber and has been doing wonders for the hubby (seizure free for almost a week now). I will be updating my thread with info on it. I have harvested a pretty large number of different auto cbd strains and their pistils dont flow with the percieved ripeness of the pistils. CBD plants are about maximum efficiency of cannabinoids and terpines before they breakdown since breeders test their strains directly after harvest, or shortly after dry.
Hope I helped

I harvest my cbd plants when there are still some clear trichomes left. It's because of a scientific paper I read some while ago, but don't remember much about it anymore.
