When is CBD potency at its peak?

When is CBD potency at its peak? Early harvest, mid or late harvest?
I’ve got a strain that the original breeder Subcool says harvest is 60-67 days. I’m on day 65.

From my understanding it's late harvest. If I read correctly, when you start to see the amber trichomes is when it's starting to produce the CBD. Here's a link that may help

I read the article which says to harvest at the right time, pointing to this link.

That’s the article I read that shows 4 pictures of milky white trichs with the captions THC/CBD at its highest.

Yeah I re-read it after I posted to double check and then got busy and forgot to edit.

CBD being my first priority and relaxed body effect second, today I’m harvesting.

With my grow being 66 days of a 60-67 day flower per the breeder Subcool’s info and the amount of amber covering so much amber on the leaves and buds further down the plants, I feel it’s time to harvest to get the best between the highest CBD amount and the relax body effect.

Last night I tried a bud I picked the Friday before this past Friday and it was great. So with it being another 9 days later I think it will be even better. I want to be able to use this during the day so I don’t want to get to far amber and end up with the “sleepy” effect the last article mentions. And since I only have the one tent to grow/flower/dry in, it will have to be a single harvest.

This is my first grow so hopefully I can add another tent for drying and experimenting with sequential harvesting in the future.

Dang I need to get a trimbin, my right arm and shoulder is killing me! Got all 3 plants on 2 racks. I definitely need to move my ac infinity system to the opposite end from the heaters, into the corner. Having it up the middle gets in the way of everything.
