What happens if you harvest too late

Harvesting too early means your doing so at the expense of yield and potency. I was real happy with my buds I harvested from my last grow. I grew 2 plants of white dwarf widow crossed ruderrail and I harvested 1 plant when I thought it was done, by viewing trics in scope no clear trics. I harvested the other 6 days later and it seemed to taste a lil better but didnt notice a huge difference overall. So, this brings me to ask the question when is too late? What happens? For example, my widows are supposedly going to finish in 9 weeks, as said by atittudes website ya i know that isnt how we tell the plants done but its just a time to work with.

Whats going to happen to my bud on week As I said, we get alot of info on why we shouldnt harvest too early butI never see what happens if we let em go past the point where everybody harvest. Curiosity killed the cat, but the cat didnt have acces to online forums post ha, imma marijuana toker From what I've read, and they all seem to say the same thing is that if you harvest later than you are suppose to there is more CBD and CBN content, which gives you are more body high and can make you stupidly stoned so to speak.

No expert here and I'm sure someone will have more good information than I do. That is just what I've read. I have read so many things regarding trics. Some say take the Indicas when the trics are more clear to cloudy and take the Sativas when they are more cloudy to amber. Knowing what week your plant is on can save you the headache of taking educated guesses as to when your plant is ready to cut. Harvesting at the right time is crucial when it comes to growing cannabis.

If you harvest too early, you will have premature buds which leads to a poor product and a smaller yield. Harvest too late and the potency of your weed takes a steep decline or turns to rot.

We spoke with Stoney Girl, who is affiliated with Portlandsterdam University, a premier cannabis training center. She verifies that it is crucial to harvest your buds on time. So how do you know when it's time to harvest? The telltale sign of harvest-ready weed is when the hairs of the plant, or pistils, have fully darkened and curled in.

If your buds are looking thick and dense, but there are still some straight white pistils, it's not time yet. However, opinions on harvest time vary. Stoney Girl recommends pulling your buds when the pistils are still transitioning to their new color.

At that time, you'll get the peak of what your strain is producing," she said. Feuer's recommendation was a bit later in the budding process. WeedMD found itself getting squeezed on both ends. What was needed was a strategic reorientation—a bold yet carefully choreographed one. The temptation to move quickly into the adult-use market was all-consuming. But WeedMD took another tack: The company decided to double-down on the medical-cannabis business, with a keen eye toward an adult-use future.

Prior to the Starseed deal, WeedMD had relied heavily on wholesale product distribution to federal license holders, which generally carried a lower margin. Starseed offered a strategic growth asset: An adult-use cannabis brand called Saturday. And WeedMD already has a premium adult-use brand, Color Cannabis , which launched in to specialize in dried flower. Will this pivot-by-acquisition prove successful for WeedMD?

Time will tell. But the deal underscores a two-pronged calculus:. Canada has permitted home growing of cannabis for medical use since The market grew steadily.

However, that all changed in Put another way: If most Canadians will soon be able to walk into their corner store and buy a pre-rolled joint to alleviate arthritis just as they would a bottle of aspirin, the demarcation line between the medical and adult-use cannabis markets might blur, if not disappear. But what if an insurance company foots the bill for that cannabis? What if federal lawmakers see the value in protecting the medical-cannabis market and create incentives for patients to procure cannabis through physicians rather than through adult-use channels, perhaps with lower taxes, favorable insurance coverage and reimbursement options, and no possession limits?

These patients have all the incentive in the world to consume medical cannabis. This fall, the WeedMD and Starseed medical businesses will begin to be marketed only under the Starseed name. Behind the scenes, WeedMD will still produce and cultivate the cannabis, and Starseed will continue to be the official sales platform. Because each Canadian province is responsible for its own retail rules and taxes, store openings have been inconsistent across the country.

Alberta, for example, has looser regulations than the rest of the country, and has seen more store openings, while the more highly populated provinces of Ontario and Quebec have lagged behind, according to Health Canada. Then there is the illicit-market problem.

The slow and steady approach has paid off. Though profitability is still just out of reach, the company has made progress this year at increasing net revenue while putting itself in a position to turn a profit in and beyond, Greenidge says. A big part of that is because of the recreational market. Financial disclosures show a massive sales lift thanks in part to the recent shift in focus. In September, the company announced a new indica-dominant hybrid for the adult-use market—Black Sugar Rose.

In addition to launching the new cultivar, WeedMD also announced new thread vape products, pre-rolls, and nitrogen-flushed flower packaging. Canada legalized cannabis edibles for the adult-use market on Oct. With Cannabis 2. Increasingly, Canadians are consuming cannabis for medicinal or wellness reasons without a medical prescription sometimes CBD products, notes Ng , and that has forced WeedMD to rethink its entire product and marketing strategy.

And if people are treating ailments without going to a doctor, cannabis almost starts to take the shape of an over-the-counter wellness drug. And now cannabis is less like a pharmaceutical and more like a CPG [consumer packaged good] or wellness product.

The data bears this out. These consumers are turning to either the more easily accessible recreational market or even the illicit market. Despite the blurring lines, the WeedMD team still sees the wisdom in taking a channeled approach.

The company has divided its sales and marketing function into teams—one for adult-use and one for medical. But Tsebelis also sees value in one channel learning from the other. For example, WeedMD has been leveraging insights derived from data on medical patients to help the company understand what adult-use customers might want and need. The company has three locations in Ontario—one in Strathroy a greenhouse and outdoor facility for cultivation , one in Aylmer an indoor extraction and processing facility , and one in Bowmanville for product research, processing, and fulfillment.

It also has a satellite office in London, Ontario. But the transition to the adult-use market has not changed how he approaches his job as a grower. The [recreational] market wants consistency. One of the biggest challenges companies face when undertaking a pivot is managing the workforce.
