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!✌️🏼

Harvest preferences - substrate/trim wet or dryJust some brain picking!
How do y'all like to harvest? How many of you leave your plant to dry in the substrate (if soil or Coco)? How many of you harvest it from wet substrate for longer drying time? I know it'll depend on environment differences, but v curious! Same q for trimOther. 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?Other. Harvest - Drying
