Trichome Coloration and Harvest Timing

The video tutorial from Debaco University guides cannabis growers on how to monitor trichomes to determine the optimal harvest time. It explains the importance of observing trichome color changes from clear to cloudy to amber, and how these changes indicate the maturity and cannabinoid content of the plant. The tutorial emphasizes the need for regular visual inspections using magnification tools and provides a step-by-step guide to identifying the right time to harvest for maximizing cannabinoid and terpene production.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial?

• To teach how to grow cannabis from seeds

• To explain the visual cues of trichome development for harvest timing

• To discuss the legal aspects of cannabis cultivation

• To provide a history of cannabis use

What tool is recommended for inspecting trichomes closely?

• A magnifying glass

• A digital camera

• A 30x loop or higher magnification tool

• A smartphone

What does a clear trichome indicate about the cannabis plant?

• The plant is ready for harvest

• The trichomes are full of cannabinoids

• The plant is immature and not ready for harvest

• The plant is overripe

Why should cannabis not be harvested when most trichomes are clear?

• Because they are full of cannabinoids

• Because they are immature and lack desired compounds

• Because they are too old

• Because they are too dry

What does the transition from clear to cloudy trichomes signify?

• The plant is dying

• The plant is ready for immediate harvest

• The plant is approaching the right time for harvest

• The plant is overripe

What does the cloudy appearance of trichomes suggest?

• The trichomes are drying out

• The trichomes are overripe

• The trichomes are full of cannabinoids

• The trichomes are empty

What is the significance of amber trichomes in the harvest process?

• They show the plant is at peak harvest time

• They suggest the plant is overripe

• They mean the plant is not ready for harvest

• They indicate the plant is immature

What is the ideal trichome coloration mix for harvesting?

• 100% amber

• 100% clear

• 70% cloudy and 30% amber

• 50% clear and 50% amber

What might happen if nearly all trichomes are amber at harvest?

• The plant will be immature

• The plant will be too dry

• The plant may have missed peak harvest, leading to degradation

• The plant will be at its peak

Why is it important to aim for a mixed trichome coloration?

• To ensure the plant is immature

• To ensure the plant is overripe

• To make the plant look more appealing

• To maximize cannabinoid and terpene production
