Cutting down for harvest
Showmethewaytogrowhomestarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm right on the verge of my first harvest and there seems to be several approaches to cutting down the plants. Should I cut and hang the entire plant or cut and hang individual branches?

High,
Congrats with the harvest!!!
I think its all up to what serves you best, with the conditions you offer.
If you got all the stuff and a perfect clima, I should go for a good week of intire plant drying. And see from then on how to handle it further.
If your not that lucky yet, to have all the goodies, i rather go with cutting it in to pieces. Using carton boxes and a cord to make small drying compartiments is easy and will do the trick.
In all cases, get some minor ventilation on outside the boxes, or in case of the tent, just a flow from the airsubstraction will do.
Grow safe buds!!

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

Harvest opinions?Time to harvest? A week? maybe two for bruce? I'm drying in my tent as it's easier to control the environment and it is pretty dry this time of year (39-50%rh). So do I stagger harvest or try to push them all until bruce seems ready? Check my diary. Thoughts welcomed.Week 12

Boveda 62I'm not convinced with Boveda 62, trying on properly dried and pretty well cured weed and its taking the humidity up to 67% and all the stalks are going bendy.
Did I get rubber-dicked by an ebay seller or is this normal?
Prior to the Boveda pack I had a good stable RH in jars.Other. Harvest - Drying

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
