Harvesting for BHO?

IMO,Id atleast wait for 100p cloudy trics.

Just make sure you leave everything on, no sense on trimming. Other than that there's not really much I can think of that would help. It would also make sense to me to harvest early, they degrade a lot in the whole process again I would also wait until 100percent cloudy as this is when thc is at its peak.. Just my 2 cents

If you do this to an entire harvest I would love to see, I've never done more than an oz or 2

Ostensibly, fresh frozen extraction of clear trichomes should give you the highest THC content, followed by cloudy, and then by amber.

If you do it while they are still all clear won't you lose some? I thought when they were clear they were growing and then they flip to cloudy when the swelling stopped and then slowly amber as they degrade

early harvest makes a samller yield that is a pit cloudy and stays oily very hard to get stable even after a long vac

This is great information. So we're all kind of leaning towards the notion that fully clouded trichomes indicate the best time to harvest for bho.

As to what the post above says about an early harvest is there any information that supports this ?
Not trying to omit any methods or possibilities without hearing them out first!

im giving this a try!

i just cut down a couple plants tonight.. So, i took aside about a 1/2 oz.. chopped up the buds. and put the choppings in a ziploc bag, stored in the freezer.. in 48+ hours, i will then quickly pack my tube and blast it with trimmings from the freezer as i go..



I also just harvest 6 oz ( dried for 10 days) .. i chopped up 4 oz, down to tiny chunks with my hands and scissors for bho.. i would like to further break down my tiny chunks, but I dont want to turn my trim into powder.. i was thinking of throwing my trimmings into a blender, then do little blend pulses...

thats what i have to work with.. and knives and cuting sboards :]

any other suggestions on how i can further break down my buds/trimmings? or is the blender the way to go?
