Waiting on harvest vs curing

so i got two plants that are just about done, trichs are all cloudy but not amber yet, and i wanna get it at about half and half, is it better to let the plants keep growing? or should i just take the extra time to cure it? (curing allows the trichs to turn amber after harvest correct?)

let em go a few days longer...keep an eye out on the trich's. you should cure the buds as well after you cut em down and dry

i'm not exactly sure of they will continue to turn amber after you cut em down..i thought the reason you harvested @ a specific time was to keep the trich's and thc levels where ya want them at

ok well when i do chop em and dry em, do the pollen/trichs fall off at all during drying? is it worth it to put something under ur plants that catches any debre that falls?

I really don't think you have to worry about the trichs falling off unless you're rough with the buds.

be careful not to shake em around too much and it shouldn't be a major prob...u can put something down if u want
