When to harvest canibus?

Cannabis is typically harvested when the trichomes (tiny resin glands) have turned from clear to a milky white color, indicating peak potency. Some growers prefer to wait until some trichomes turn amber for a more sedative effect. Harvesting should also be based on the overall health of the plant and the desired effects of the final product. Generally, this occurs around 8-12 weeks after flowering begins, depending on the strain.
