In the dark before harvest?
GrowGirl419started grow question 6y ago
Is it imperative to put them in the dark before harvesting? I've built myself a dry box that will keep them dark, cool, and the air circulating. I still have plants growing so I can't off the lights and I don't have anywhere else to set them.

Leaving some leafs on while drying can help increase the drying time which some people like to and perfer to do. It helps keep them from drying out too quickly. I'd only leave a few here and there but trim off say 80% of them. The box should be fine, Just keep it cool in a spot with the right humidity level.. that will be the key.. Box looks great! 👊

Ok, can I ask this. Is it to clear the chlorophyll from the buds? If it's in the dark during the dry process with that efficiently do the same or will it not be as good? If I leave the leaves on before drying will that help? Or should I trim her up before drying? Sorry, first time here. Lots of questions. Lots.

I'm trying to figure out why some of my plants just grow one tall stock with only a few branches and others really bulk up and provide tons of branches. Is this typical and just varies from seed to seed? Either way I'm really happy with how these 3 are turning out. Thank you!!Week 7

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.5y ago

Is it normal for a mainlined plant to have a few colas stretch so hard? I reckon I only have another 5/6 inches of growth space above the highest cola and am starting to worry. I have swapped out the lights for veg lights today to try and slow it down...Week 8

Harvest opinions?Time to harvest? A week? maybe two for bruce? I'm drying in my tent as it's easier to control the environment and it is pretty dry this time of year (39-50%rh). So do I stagger harvest or try to push them all until bruce seems ready? Check my diary. Thoughts welcomed.Week 12
