  • Understanding Visual Cues of Cannabis Trichome Development to Maximize Harvest
    Professor DeBacco
    Monitoring Color Change
    By monitoring the change in color of the gland heads, a grower can evaluate the ripeness of flowering pistillate plants.
    Using a 30x loupe is advised or some other form of magnifying the trichomes for a close visual inspection
    Stages of Trichomes
    Early to middle flowering, resin heads will be mostly clear
    During the final phase of the bloom cycle, the trichomes will transition from clear to a cloudy, milky white color, and eventually to amber.
    Most seasoned growers say the time to harvest is when the bulbous heads are cloudy with a few amber ones here and there (about a 70/30 mix).
    Clear Trichomes
    This indicates early development and the clear color can indicate they are not “full” of cannabinoids and terpenes.
    While not true from a botanical standpoint, but you can consider clear trichomes to be “empty” and the bud should not be harvested because it is before maturity and lack desired compounds.
    Cloudy Trichomes
    When the trichomes start to go from a transparent to a translucent transparency this is a sign harvest is getting closer.
    This cloudy look growers can think of the trichome become full of cannabinoids.
    The next step is an opaque amber color
    Thought to give an energetic high
    Amber Trichomes
    Progressing from the cloudy white color the trichomes will change to a yellow/brown amber color.
    Waiting for some of the trichomes to go to this coloration is a good sign the harvest of cannabinoids can be maximized.
    However, if nearly all of the trichomes are this color at harvest to may mean the peak harvest was missed leading to some derogation of the internal compounds.
    Though to give a body high
    Mixed Trichomes
    Since all trichomes will not change from cloudy to amber at the same time, it can be best to aim from a mixed coloration to determine your harvest time.
    Now, the exact percentage of cloudy and amber may be impacted by the variety, stage of development, your availability of timing.

    Excellent video as always! When I harvest a new strain and do a pheno hunt, I always harvest in 5 stages to see what is the best effect for me. Again, just for my specific needs. Different strains for different brains! First stage, I harvest when all clear, then 50/50, clear milky, all milky, 70/30 milky amber and 70/30 amber milky. Then I dry them the same at 65F and 55RH and let cure. I test at 1 month cure point, 2 months and three months. That gives me the sweet spot of each pheno and I keep the ones that fulfill my needs. I keep the keepers! I do the same process when I breed too. Just my 2 cents of 42 years growing. Keep educating us Mr. professor! Cheers

      @@8Scorpions Good question. It's all strains related and your specific effect that you are looking for. I had a sativa dominant that gave it's best at 30% amber with cerebral and body wellness, relaxing and a big smile (the whole package) and at 3+ months of curing. I also had an indica that was 50/50 clear and milky, that had a zombie, meditative, almost spiritual effect and cured 2 months. It's all in what you specificly want. I grow oldschool strains and landraces. Some very popular trendy strains don't even give me any effect at all. Since I don't grow for bag apeal, aromas, taste or THC levels, I cannot rush the process of strain hunting, then pheno hunting, then breeding, etc... Short answer, Trial and error is my best answer!

    Always determine ripeness by the bracts of the bud structure and never determine by all the amber you may see on the sugar leaves. If the lower buds look very clear when your top colas look about ready, don't worry. Keep waiting it out until it's all ready, or some may take the tops first but beware of doing that if nanners could jeopardize other plants in earlier flowering stages.

    What a great vid. Excellent information, clearly presented.
    The reason you wait for the very oldest trichomes to turn amber is that it means that very few of the newest ones are immature. Amber trichomes are as undesirable as completely clear ones but if you harvest before there are any then there will be a great deal of immature resin on your buds.

  • @rolo2415
    @rolo2415 Před 3 lety +42

    I find Frenchy Cannoli's view of ripeness more compelling than the amber/white glandhead ratio theory.
    As the flower itself pertains to primary metabolic activity it would be more accurate to look at mature flower development rather than trichomes, which are secondary, for confirmation of optimal ripeness.
    Also glandhead color is affected by light intensity, which causes problems with predictive consistency of overall ripeness .

    Interesting because thca flower is harvested early to be under the d9 legal threshold. 😮 That's why those buds usually look different than what you're used to.

    • @elijahlabelle426
      @elijahlabelle426 Před 4 měsíci

      You’re absolutely right, I was pretty intrigued with the loophole as THCA typically smells very comparable to regular Cannabis, but not quite 100%. Also something else I took note of, visually the buds seemed a little smaller than their cured counterparts. Another thing I noticed, the smoke isn’t nearly as smooth- it seems the curing process improves the overall end quality in so many ways!
      Not attributing the size issue to lack of curing, I get that for it to be regulated as THCA, it’s probably gotta be cut before it naturally starts converting THCA into THC.
      Regardless, I think it’s cool that people have that as an option now! It feels so much better than D8 sprayed hemp flower😂
      Regardless growing your own has to be the best option, just like any other thing you could consume, it’s always best if you can grow it yourself :)

    Clear tricomes give you a verry high effect, cloudy gives high and stoned effect, and amber gives most stoned effect. So dont totally agree with him, when you harvest depends also an the effect of the thc, harvest early will give you a very hich effect, harvest late will give you a stoned effect. So harvest when you want and how you want it to hit you ;) personaly i go for a 80/20 white/red ratio. I more of a high dude type ;)
    Recomended is try all stages and decide what you like best :)

    I tend to harvest at 20-25% amber tops. I myself prefer 10-15% amber, finding the most potent high to be in that range, but it doesn't last long. 20-25% gives great potency, and a good balance of other cannabinoids to help carry the buzz. THC degrades into CBD, so the more amber the more CBD vs THC the bud will have.

    Be careful looking for tricomes, I concentrated on that as my plants got mold and I lost my whole crop. Perhaps some video on how to prevent and or look for mold. We had a very rainy end to summer and fall, I also put some grass clippings under my plants which might have trapped more moisture and contributed to my loss. Also one plant grew against a wire fence which may have contributed. Thanks for your info, only my third year so I’ve got lots to learn.

    Odd question; so if I wanted to get both a head-high from Harvesting a little earlier at clear/cloudy and a couch-lock from waiting a bit longer for cloudy/amber on the SAME PLANT, can that be done? Meaning, can you cut off a bunch of colas and let the rest keep growing a little while longer or will it kill the plant? Like, when I cut off a bunch of my cherry tomatoes, the plant doesn't die, it just keeps putting out more tomatoes... you get my meaning? Is weed like that or not?
    Don't know that I've ever heard of anyone doing this, but it's something I'm very interested in if possible just to be able to see the difference on the EXACT SAME plant for experimental purposes...

      Keeping your plants in the dark for 48 hours before a harvest helps to increase the production in the trichomes and thus increases the overall potency of your marijuana crop. Following this info that every grower recommends, cutting the plants in cycles or over time actually leads to less potent crop. Once cut the plant, and specially the branch goes into shock, putting the cut branch in the dark is not the same as putting a planted plant in the dark. 48 hrs of dark wont do anything to a cut up plant.

As far as stress; lobbing off a big ol' two-fisted cola that is way too close to lights, in danger of breaking off from weight or blocking other good ones that are just a little behind it may be less stressful than leaving it sometimes I would think (hope, hah).

I told nobody what I was doing. Then I shared my two varieties. People said the early harvest provided less of a couch lock, while the latter harvested gave more of the couch lock.
