I harvest based on trichome maturity, but not everyone has a scope. i like to harvest around 60% red hairs. but most recommend 75% red hair before pulling. you can also harvest the mature branches first (usually the top half) and let the rest finish. harvesting at different times effects taste, potency, and high. if you want to find the best stage to harvest, you can harvest some now (50% red), some at 60%, and some at 75%. label the stages in jars or whatever you cure it in. then smoke it and record the results. be sure, and i cant stress this enough, DO NOT SKIMP OUT ON THE CURING PROCESS. drying takes about a week, but dont cure for any less then 2 weeks. hold out for a month if you can but dont go much longer than that (unless you plan to freeze for long term storage).
