I don't believe it is true. Most plants, I've seen, will continue to throw new white pistils... I've left them for weeks past their usual harvest time and not noticed a difference in potency.

This depends on genetics. A plant that produces cbd when the thc starts to break down will dramatically change the high. Whereas a non cbd producing strain or low producing wouldnt change much, probably just degrade the high.

LOL. You really shouldn't quote bullshit you read on the internet... best talking from experience.

Um ya...sativa/indica harvest basics guys... you want stonier buds, wait til the trichs are more amber than cloudy. Want headier buds, harvest more cloudy than amber. I feel lime this is one of the first things you learn in growing...

I didnt say thc breaks down into cbd but generally tepenes and other cannabinoids come up later in flowering, and cbd and other cannabinoids/terpenes change high dramatically.

Like I've just told you... for many years now I have watched my own plants go well past the normal harvest date and there is no effect on potency, if anything, the weed just gets stronger. That's my own experience and not a bunch of shit I've read on the web.

That is a bunch of bull.. You're parroting what you heard, not what you have personally experienced.. Talking about some funkin cbd and thc breaking down..
You would have to almost let the buds rot off the stems..

I agree with you, bud gets stronger if you let it mature, because thc delta 9 is a stimulant...and it is produced earliest in flower. All of the other cannabinoids are produced last couple week of flower.

Thc does break down as trichs develop.

I probably have more experience than you do and science also backs me up here. Do some research, learn something. Heres a 20 light room of mine lol.

I think the whole "harvest when cloudy for head high or when amber for couch lock" is a load a bs. If I want couch lock I'll run an indica until its mature, if I want head high I'll run a sativa until its mature and it doesn't matter how long I let a sativa go, it's not going to hit me like an Indica. That's been my experience at least.
There is more to cannabis than just THC and CBD.

Youre right and i mentioned the other cannabinoids that are all produced last couple weeks of flower. And youre right about the sativas because they dont produce the same cannabiniods as most indicas. Which is exactly what i said about strains that mostly produce only thc but lack the other cannabinoids that indicas gain at the end of flower. And sativas just have thc break down if you leave them going instead of continuing to produce cbd, cbn, thc delta 6 and other cannabinoids like.indicas do, hence degrading high.

Eh I wasn't arguing with you like the other posters. It seems we pretty much agree! I was just tossing my two cents into the whole harvesting by trich color debate.
I don't know much about how the plant develops cannabinoids but my understanding of it was that CBD development was in the genetic makeup of the plant and is developed alongside THC and that's why we're able to breed for high CBD strains with low THC values. I thought CBN was what was produced as THC degraded....
I had a cheese clone and was always told to harvest it based on trichs, when I ignored that advice and let it go longer until it looked "ripe" I ended up with a more fragrant, tastier and IMO more potent harvest. Probably goes along with what you're saying about terpene production late in flower and what I've read and heard Subcool say about terpenes.

I think all of the cannabinoids are produced later in flowering. And i harvest based on what im going for and the strain. My og looks dont at 65 to 70 days, but if i let it go around 80 it turns into knockout bud whereas if i harvested at 65 it would still be stony, just not as heavy of a hitter.
