trim before drying?
jamjam887766started grow question 5y ago
I just started drying. Should I have trimmed off the small fan leaves before hanging? Does it make a difference?

It’s all preference imo... it’s easier to leave them on and just pull them off once dried, rather than cutting each one off.
I take the time and get the larger one’s off, but you’ll be fine either way!

I've read many reviews on both on forums, mostly prefer the "dry trim" due to many reasons. try searching for this term.

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

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!Other.

Are these to early to pick?So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented themWeek 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.Other. Harvest - Drying

Harvest TimingI have 1 harvest ready plant and 2 others that need another 2 weeks, in the same tent. Can I chop the one and freeze it, then when the others are ready, hang them all together?
Trying to avoid letting the one plant cook too long (bud rot, couch lock, etc...).Other. Harvest - Drying
