If you have your own grow, the whole process, time and the investment needed to tend to your grow is no easy feat. You must have hired people, paid them for their work or spent countless hours working on it yourself. You probably even spent the extra cash and bought high-quality and expensive seeds and the harvest has finally arrived. This is your moment.

Knowing the right time

The time is crucial because it determines the quality of your product. Using the best marijuana trimmer at this point can also give you good quality yield. However, it really helps to know when your flowers are at their best peak.

There Is always a harvest window. There is always a right time to do things. You can’t get too excited and trim too early. You can’t get too lazy and trim too late. In either situation, you may not get the desired potency of the grow. You will get the desired look with the best marijuana trimmer, but you also want the best effect, right?

You want to hit the THC production peak. You will at this moment when you notice resin trichomes making a translucent color in the glands. When you harvest at this moment, the smoked effect is clearly better. There are low CBD levels at this point too, and this is important because the product will give you the desired effects too.

The not-so-right time

You can always use the best marijuana trimmer to trim your grow a little later, but it is not such a good idea though. If the resins are left to grow out, the secretions turn amber in color. This changes the effect after it is smoked and taste, dramatically. Sure, you need at least 30 percent of your plants to have amber resins, but not more.

The longer you wait though, the lesser is the “high” of it. The effect of the grow is also very heavy, skunky in taste, and gives the smoker high sedation. This is different compared to the perfect time when the effect is clear. You want a high stimulant effect and that’s why you need to wait for the right time to harvest.

So, wait until the bulbous ends of your resins to turn translucent to use your best marijuana trimmer for the harvest. This is also a superb time to convert your grow into hashish.
