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.

When to start final trimI am on my 15th day of drying and the branches seem to be making dry cracking noises when I bend them. So I started doing the final trim (sugar leaves) and have noticed that the buds are still slightly soft. Is this okay or should I wait for the buds to be bone dry and hard?Week 13

Drying stateI’m not sure if the buds of the plants that where indoors are good or they not drying well.
I have the grow room temperature varying from 18 to 21 degrees
But I’m not sure if the buds are moldy or even how moldy weed looks like.
Can some one please give me a opinion on them.Week 12

How close do these look to ready? Video in diaryHow early did I cut these? I know they are at least on the early side of harvest ready if not a little bit before ready, but the top of the colas definitely have a good bit of amber trichomes and I was dealing with a heat issue effecting the top buds so I cut a few to test.

For an outdoor auto grow does it make sense to move the plants during the day to maximise direct sunlight (8h vs 12h) or is it better to leave them undisturbed. better to keep plants under a basic light setup eg 85w 4750 lumen cfl up to 100cm from light during veg stage?Week 1

Not complete darkness during drying ok?I will cut my plants tomorrow, hang them in my room and leave for 2 weeks to travel. How important is complete darkness during drying? The room (45rh, 22degrees) has heavy curtains, but some soft light is shining through, so I’m thinking to nail a blanket to cover the window.Other. Harvest - Drying
