HARVEST That day, when i entered the growroom, i saw a terrible sight - half of the plants were overturned along with the pots. The floor was full of spilled earth. Fortunately, because the room is small - the plants did not fall to the floor completely, but leaned on the walls. It looked like someone had broken in and made a mess. But no, nobody broke in here - they just fell over due to their own weight. I cleaned up the mess and went straight to harvesting. When cleaning, everything became clear - a few days before the planned harvest, i stopped watering the plants completely, so that they had as little moisture as possible during harvest and dried faster. Therefore, the soil in the pots became too light to keep such mature plants upright - i should have anticipated this earlier. Fortunately, nothing bad happened ... apart from the mess. Looking through a magnifying glass, the resin was beginning to crystallize and tarnish, taking on a milky amber color. The best time to harvest - as for me. The plants were harvested by cutting off the main branches (each plant had eight branches) just below where the buds start. They were then given a thorough manicure and then hung on strings in the garage to dry. They hung drying for a whole month before being weighed, packaged, and placed in a container for long-term storage. I use a good old cigar container for this purpose, inherited from my father.
