How To Determine The Potency Of Marijuana With Your Senses?
As a cannabis grower, you need to factor in the potency of the blue dream strain you will cultivate. You need to keep this important consideration in mind, as it will help you decide when to harvest the buds for an amazing yield. This is important because if you harvest too early, you will not get the desired yields. And if you harvest too late, you will get a less than the desired potency of the harvest.
We look at three tests of the senses to help you understand if the buds are potent enough to be plucked.
1 – The sniff test
A good top-notch weed batch will smell amazing. Users will discern the potent smell of the blue dream strain even when it is packed airtight. As a grower, you need to ensure there is no damp smell. You need to check that the batch doesn’t get a lot of oxygen as the chemical reaction would break down the psychoactive compound.
Good quality strains will not smell of hay or grass. So avoid batches that are moldy or have a smell that resembles grass.
2 – The look test
You have to scrutinize the trichome carefully to understand if they are ripe for harvesting or not. When you examine it through a magnifying glass, you will see that it is more milky- white in shade and has fully formed crystals. These trichomes also contain a potent amount of the cannabinoids or terpenes possessed by the bud.
Whatever you do, don’t let the milky white or greenish hues of the trichomes turn amber. Such coloration suggests that the weed batch has gone past its harvesting prime. Any amber or brownish colored weed will have a significantly lower potency than its milky white or greenish counterparts.
3 – The taste test
As a professional grower, you need to ensure that the current batch also passes the taste test. For this, you will have to taste a small quantity to see whether the aroma and taste are what you expect from a preferred good batch of the blue dream strain.
Weed that has a mildewy taste is often an indicator of a bad batch of weed. This means that you should straightaway discard this batch and concentrate on growing another set of weed that has a better aroma, taste, and better commercial viability attached to it.
