How can I find the exact harvest timing for my marijuana strain?

Learning the subtle differences in strength of the marijuana high by harvest correctly takes plenty of practice and time. The only way to know the difference between properly harvested marijuana plants and improperly harvested marijuana plants is through experience.

This experience is nearly impossible to get if you are buying marijuana buds. The reason harvest festivals, tokers bowls and cannabis cups are so popular is that it does create some experience in this area. But only growing marijuana is the sure fire way in learning when marijuana is properly harvested.

Nearing harvest is the perfect point to start gaining that knowledge -- harvest your marijuana plants in stages and decide which harvest stage you prefer.

The proper way to do it is double-blind:

Harvest a similar amount of marijuana bud every 5 or 7 days. Let this marijuana bud dry and cure the same way until they are all similar in feel. This would take two months or more if you do dry your marijuana buds properly.

Have another pothead that doesn't know the harvested dates take the samples and label them (A, B, C, D, E) in random order. Whenever you want to smoke, have this pothead give you a marijuana sample without telling you which one they gave.

Smoke this marijuana bud, note the effects. You might not notice the difference until after most of the marijana high has passed -- do you feel like you need a nap or do you simply feel fine and sober?

Once you have noted the marijuana effects, give your response back to the stoner who supplied the blind marijuana taste test so they can file it under the proper label (A, B, C, etc).

You should never know which one you were smoking.

Once the results are in, match up the original marijuana harvest dates with the anonymous letters and analyze your test. This also works well for seedling sisters to find the best mother among them.

If you don't have the patience (or tester) to do the proper method, you can still harvest in stages and decide which you prefer.

Go through each sample in a random harvest date order. Smoke all the marijuana samples all the way through. Noting their differences. Score them. Rate each marijuana sample out of ten.

Eliminate the lowest two marijuana samples.

Smoke the remaining marijuana samples. Again rate these out of five and smoke them in a random marijuana harvest order. Judge very very carefully. Note the subtle differences. Whether it's marijuana high or harsh of inhale.

Then eliminate one marijuana sample.

Inhale the remaining two marijuana samples. Determine through careful judging which marijuana sample was the best.
