Hello friend, the best time to harvest is when 80% of your trichomes are milky & the other 20% are a amber color another way to tell is when 80% of your pistols have turned from white to orange! Hope this helps & happy growing friend!✌️🏼

How long lasts drying?How long is average curing? I keep reading different things. Somewhere between 5-14 days. Can I leave mine drying for 14 days while I am away? It's either that or dry it within a week and than put it in jars for 14 days. I have no one to mind them while I'm away. Thanks guys!Other. Harvest - Drying

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?Other. Mold

Odd green smell during dryingDay 5 of dry and nugs are starting to crunch though stems dont crack yet.
I've lost the dank, unless touched, and it smells of what i'm guessing is clorophyll
How long does this last for or have I done something wrong?
Temp 19°c on average +-2°c and RH is 55% +-1%.
Thanks😎Week 17

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!2y ago
