When Darkness Falls
Itzjusbiznizstarted grow question 5 years ago
Walk with me..... 😁 SoOo harvest is just around the corner, what are your thoughts on 24 or 48hrs of darkness right before harvest? To do or not to do, that is the question 🤔
Thanks in advance

24 hours IMO is all you'll really need. 48 just seems excessive to me but some people swear by both.. My suggestion is do one with 24, do another with 48 and compare what you think and feel and let us know! 👊

No hay nada realmente que demuestre que la planta mejora con 24-48 horas de obscuridad antes de la cosecha, todo lo que hay son impresiones subjetivas.
Cosecha las plantas cuando acabe el periodo de luz del día, procura que la maceta tenga muy poca agua y si puedes guíate por las fases de la luna, cortar desde los 3 días posteriores a la luna creciente hasta 3 días después de la luna llena, evitando cosechar en luna llena. Saludos.

1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all
2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed

On day 13 of drying 60%rh 72°F. The bigger stems are starting to snap but the smaller ones only bend??Other. Harvest - Drying

Should I be concerned for the curing stage?I dried my blueberry auto for 10 days at 65F/55RH to a slight “snap” in the stems. Right now it’s got a really great odor, taste and strong high. However currently sitting in the jar 4 hours post trim RH is at 50. The buds are not dried out at all, very sticky. Is this too low?Other. Harvest - Curing

Is my weed rotting? Please help and thank you in advance, I am starting to become a little paranoicI am curing my weed and I found some small bugs on the buds (mostly flies), there were not a lot but I am a bit worried since also the color is starting to look a bit strange, or are maybe only the amberish trichomes? Also could bug go inside pistils? I found this strange thingBuds. Other
