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.

How can I mask the smell of fresh harvest for 4 hrs at a time without risking mold?I did a wet trim, cut and hung my girls tonight. My landlord's realtor is showing my apartment 12-4 Thursday-Sunday. I'm going to put them in paper bags and put them in this bin under my bed for the 4 hours people come through and just burn incense. Will the buds be ok? Any tips?Week 17

When to harvest? in 1 week or in 3 weeks?Next week I'll be away for 2 weeks for my holidays.
Should I harvest in 1 week and leave her drying unattended or have someone watering her, harvest her in 3 weeks and dry her with all the care then?
I really don't have a controlled setup for drying...Week 10
