Growing cannabis clones during the Canadian summer is rewarding. But knowing the right time to harvest makes all the difference in quality, potency, and yield.
At Mr. Clones, we provide premium, healthy clones perfect for Canadian growers. Once you’ve nurtured your plants through the warm months, timing the harvest is your final and most important step.
Harvest too early, and your buds won’t reach their full potential. Wait too long, and potency can drop. Getting it right means:
So, when is the perfect moment?
Cannabis clones from Mr. Clones typically follow this timeline in summer:
This can vary depending on strain and province. In colder areas like Alberta or Manitoba, harvest might come slightly earlier. In milder regions like southern Ontario or British Columbia, you may push harvest into mid-October.
Visual signs are your best indicators.
Check the resin glands (trichomes) with a magnifier. Clear means immature. Milky or cloudy means peak THC. Amber indicates more CBD and a sedative effect.
Pistils are the tiny hairs on your buds.
As the plant nears harvest, fan leaves naturally yellow. If buds look ready and leaves are fading, it’s almost time.
Squeeze gently. Mature buds are tight and firm. If they feel airy, give them more time.
Pick a dry, sunny day. Moisture can cause mold during drying. Avoid harvesting right after rain or during high humidity.
Morning is usually the best time. Terpene levels are higher and temps are cooler.
Once harvested, your job isn’t over. Dry your buds slowly in a dark, cool place with airflow. Then cure in jars for 2-4 weeks. This locks in flavor and boosts smoothness.
Clones from Mr. Clones have a head start. They mature faster than seeds and offer consistent traits. This helps predict harvest timing better, especially for outdoor summer grows.
Q: How do I know my region’s harvest time?
A: Most Canadian provinces harvest between late September and early October. Check weather and strain info for specifics.
Q: Can I harvest early for a lighter high?
A: Yes, harvesting when trichomes are mostly milky with few amber offers a more uplifting effect.
Q: What if frost is coming?
A: If frost is forecasted, harvest your plants. Even one frost can damage buds.
Harvesting your cannabis clones at the right time ensures all your hard work pays off. Watch the signs, check the weather, and trust your instincts.
