Yeah that ^^^ I thought I was the only one that fussed over chopping plants.
I change my mind for about a week easy... then just do it.
Bush in hand worth 2 in the ground... as they say.
Pretty much couch lock in my mind, is genetic. I can grow a 100% Indica and chop early.. still going to have that sedative quality. Sure the freshies will have some zip but its soon followed by relaxation.
Sativa the same but opposite. Freshies are sometimes frightening and cure into a lot of zippyness with no sedative qualities.
I think why we see soooo many poly hybrids. Trying to get the best of both worlds.
Start thinking genetics.. we are just getting going with scientific test results. We are just beginning to understand what it is we are even testing.
I remember a few years ago when there were like 8 different terpines they were measuring. Now look at it... and those are just the alcohols which as we know are very volatile.
It's going to come around... there are countries with scientists studying this plant .... just tip of the iceberg. $$ going to be the big motivator.
Imagine that we are just finding out about the health effects of cannabis, there's a lot of other plants and insects with similar qualities that we don't even know about. I bet our ancestors knew.. and some passed the knowledge down with the oral traditions.
Think about why we like to look at Cannabis flower pictures and the real thing... they are not all that picturesque in comparrison to other flowers but we humans sure are attracted to them... likely there's some significance in our genetic makup that makes it so??
Amy good luck with your harvests... when ever they may take place. You will know when the time is right. The question will be answered.
Oh and watch the weather... that's always helpful for me.
Take your time getting the strength levels back up. Pictures can come later.

Perfect!
