The sweet spot is 30% amber but that's hard to judge and for me,  when I pull them . The next bit is the drying. essential to the success or failure of the whole time/money invested. Too fast and the buds will lose their terpenes at an alarming rate and the chlorophyll in the leaves will not have chance to be used and dissipate before being smoked. This can lead to harsh "hay" tasting weed that has very little potency.  ideally a low and slow dry in total dark to avoid the terpenes being evaporated so fast amd allow the chlorophyll to be converted as she dries into more goodness for us at the end and no harsh hit.  Lower (50%-30%) Rh is vital to the drying and to avoid molds , the lower temp ( below 18°c)  dry can avoid the conditions that bud rot loves . with the density of your buds , you will have to watch for it like a hawk . it is spottable but usually AFTER it has begun in the bids at stem level. keep airflow exchanging but not blowing directly on the plant as it dries. I don't cut any stems at all until completely dried and ready.  this allows her final days attempt at life can be supported by the system in the stems that transports food/oils ect.. around . If cut before , all pathways are no longer able to transport chlorophyll ect so it gets dried withing the cut section and lingers after the drying. Harsh hits are the main reason for this  Hope that is not too much waffle lol.</p></blockquote><p></p>
