The colour of the plant's [[Anatomy_of_Cannabis#Trichromes|trichomes]] can give a good indication toof the amount of THC and CBD and thus the optimum time to harvest. It is recommended to use a jewellerjeweler's loupe or USB microscope.
 
=== Examples ===
 
== Drying ==
The optimum air drying humidity is between 40 and 50% (RH). I keep around 20-22C. In the process of drying biologicbiological processes continue inside of the buds and the chlorophyll is converted into glucose. Move a humidity sensor around your house to find a spot with good conditions.
You can tell the buds are dry when the stems snap instead of bending when pressure is applied. The smell can also offer a clue as to how well-dried buds are, chlorophyll has a fresh-cut grass or banana-like smell
