In the dark before harvest?
GrowGirl419started grow question 4 years 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.

Blackberry Kush HarvestHello Growing Community, Is the Blackberry Kush ready to harvest or should I wait until week 12? There are some random amber trichomes, but not at 20% yet, I'm looking for a relaxing effect. If so my plan would to let her sit in the dark for 1-2 days, then chop. Thank you!Week 11

How should I harvest?So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.

RH and Temp settings good for tent in bathroom?I set up a Govee automation in my basement bathroom. My tent is set up with a sensor inside and when it gets down to 58% humidity it turns on a humidifier. Once it gets to 60% it turns off.
Should this be good with an inline fan going on low the whole time? Room is 55-60F.

Ready to chop for not too minimal couch lock?The main top cola looks pretty done with a few amber trichomes. Id like the rest of the plant to be good though, does the rest of these macro shots from the lower nugs look good enough? I want almost all clear with a few ambers so not too couch locked.

I have 3 Gorilla Zkittlez at day 95. One is ready to chop, the other two are not quite there. I’m going on vacation for 7 days. Question: chop them early or let them remain unattended for a week? I usually water every 3-4 days, the plants haven’t gone 7 days without water. WYD?

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

Boveda 62I'm not convinced with Boveda 62, trying on properly dried and pretty well cured weed and its taking the humidity up to 67% and all the stalks are going bendy.
Did I get rubber-dicked by an ebay seller or is this normal?
Prior to the Boveda pack I had a good stable RH in jars.Other. Harvest - Drying

Cardboard box drying outdoors?I dont have a place in my house to let them dry, plus I dont have a de/humidifier.
I’d dry them in a sheltered place, in a cardboard box but still outside, averages 60-70% humidity, i would cut holes both sides for ventilation but keep light out and put boveda packs 65% Thoughts?
