This was my first outdoor grow from last Summer (planted in the beginning of May of 2019). I harvested late (end of November, 2019), when the trichomes were mostly all amber, (viewed through a jeweler's loupe which are available for 6 bucks on amazon) and it's newer leaves were purpling upon growth (I did not top the plant and don't believe you should if you're growing outdoors), which produced a narcotic, mood-lifting, medicinal high rather than a speedy, paranoid, trippy head-high (which is good for me, as I use for medicinal purposes and have epilepsy. I didn't smoke my first joint until I was 22/23, a few years after developing epilepsy randomly).

Here were the trichomes a month before harvest: https://i.imgur.com/l0bIROU.jpg (Way too clear/translucent, although you could harvest it at this stage if you enjoy a speedy/trippy high)

It's more about when you harvest rather than the strain name; at this point cannabis strains have been so interbred that names are just selling points. THC/CBD/CBN (and terpenoid, as they carry medicinal properties too) content is what matters, as well as how you treat, harvest and cure it. Most places do early harvests because they want to move product and be onto the next as quickly as possible; late harvests produce higher CBD and THC making for a better harvest all around, no matter if indoor or outdoor.

I have photos of the whole harvesting, wet-trim, drying and curing process too. They're on my phone (that's currently off, I'm keeping it off for as long as I can since the pandemic began lol), but when I get around to it, I will upload it. I prefer wet-trim over a dry trim as you can see were to trim/cut, the leaves aren't curled up, you can see "sugar leaves", and as for drying, I had it in a large cardboard box hanging upside down from strings tied across the open top; It was in my attic, so no smell, dark, good air circulation and I was checking the humidity to make sure it was between 45–55% in the box. When curing, you want to check the humidity too, and have your jar's humidity be no higher than 64% (or you risk mold, why ruin all your work at the easiest part: drying and curing?). I cured mine for a month, some people cure for 2 weeks, some people cure for over a year. That's all personal. The longer the cure, the more CBN and the less THC.

This was an all-natural grow btw - just stuck the seed in a pot with peat-moss soil (which I now know is terrible to order as it damages the ecosystem in so many ways, but happened to be great soil for cannabis), and that was it. Nothing to keep insects or predators away (I checked on the plant and it's leaves everyday and kept it in safe positions away from other plants), no plant boosters other than all natural organic nutrients during the flowering stage once a week (4 times in total).
