Hey there, new grower here. I am growing my JH autos in a greenhouse, and was researching when to harvest them. I found some interesting information about percent of amber tri's compared to regular strains of around 20% for harvest readiness. Some information states to wait until the autos are about 50-70% amber tri's. The source of this info is attached. This is the quote:
"You should harvest your plant only after about half of the trichomes have turned amber if you want to get that 15% THC mark that breeders specify on the packaging. Because this strain has some ruderalis genetics then the CBD as well as CBN ratios will be a bit higher and that is great for medical users and if you wan to get a more “body” high then you can let the plant mature a bit more till about 70% of the trichomes have turned amber."
I also asked the seed company chat help and got the same reply, so am wondering if this is because of the ruderalis genetics of the auto. This % of amber tri's seems high compared to the more commom 20% or so that I have read about, so just wanted to get some feedback from some other growers. Thanks.
