trim before drying?
jamjam887766
started grow question 6y 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.

Are my plants ready for harvest
Is this close enough for a flush? I’m crap at telling the ripeness on my plants. Looks like it’s mostly milky-ish with about 10%amber. Most photos were from mid plant.

Looking about that time to harvest, jus looking for opinions and advice, I'd say chop now, looking for a balanced high. Photo, week 8-9 flower, ppm runoff is at 170. Strawberry Diesel and Gas strain.

What do you all think?
What do you all think? The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry Do you think it will be more or less? I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.

Why are my autos showing pistils at less than 4 weeks!?? Does this change how I was planning to train them or defoliate? Also - why isn’t there much spacing between the nodes? Two 600w LEDs about 36” above canopy....

Should I jar early? 5 days after chop
I harvested last Wednesday. I did a bit of a wet trim because I was worried about the humidity in the tent with the light off. The first few days the RH was between 50-70% and the nugs felt wet. Now it's been 45% for 2 days and the nugs are rock hard. Should I put in jars early?

Help with Drying
When i finish my grow and i harvest it allows me to enter weight. I see people with 10oz of a plant that i know isnt dry. I assume i should enter wet weight on harvest or weight until its dry and enter?

How do I figure "wet" weight on this big girl?
She's been outside, so I plan to wash the buds and then do a wet cure. (using for edibles). I'm doing a rough trim before I soak her, but still have a lot of weight in branches. Is this expected for 'wet' weight? Is the final weight after fully drying and trimming? Thanks!

To Freeze Dry or Not to Freeze Dry? That is the question...
Someone recommended freeze drying my harvested nugs. I've done research on it to a degree. Have you tried freeze dry weed and does anyone recommend it for quality rugs to be smoked?

When to harvest auto flower? Can I push it to week 13?
Wondering when to harvest these bad boys. Trichomes don’t appear amber yet. Website for the seeds say 70-90 days seed to harvest. I’m wondering if I can push it to 90 days (13 weeks(ish)) even if they appear ready at 70. Will that effect my harvest?
