answered grow question 5y ago
I typically wait until about a 20-60-20, meaning 20 clear, 60 opaque, and 20 amber. How long you wait only determines the "Sativa or Indica" side of things. It determines your head or body high.

Harvest: I don’t know what’s coming ahead
I’m 5 weeks into flower, maybe 3 weeks left, that’s enough time to get anything I’m missing. I watched some vids on youtube. Can someone give me some steps to follow for harvest and what I might need? I have CBD plants, bud formation is not like regular THC plants.

Watering and darkness before harvest
I've been giving them just water for 2 weeks but I only let them get about 10% runoff. I want to put them in 48hrs darkness but not if they've just been watered. Looking for opinions: flush to 80% runoff now and harvest on Wed or leave them in darkness and cut them down on Wed?

I bought 9 square plastic 11l pots, plan is to let next plants grow more horizontal instead of vertical, to have a grow period of 5/6 weeks max, and use an combination of topping from the 3rd node, and LST (bending down and ponytail) to fill my 80x80cm. What else to be considered

Time to chop?
First grow 56 days from sprout, leaves starting to die and trichomes seem pretty white. Should I chop now or wait a bit longer?

Estimating wet bud weight from dry bud weight
The harvest report for the diary asks for wet bud weight, which I didn't measure. (I think it'd be hard to provide that number if you didn't wet trim, right?) So, what's a good conversion: using dry trim weight to estimate wet trim weight? I've got a screenshots of AI answers:

Buds too dry?
I dry in 26degrees Cel 55% humidity. After cutting down one plant, it took roughly 10 days for the stems to snap to trim up to jar. However, inside the jar now its sitting about 55% RH. And isnt getting a Stronger smell. Should i try rehydrate or just wait longer between burps?

Should I put harvest into jars early?
Should I put my harvest into jars insted of hanging? I harvested 2 days ago and my humidity right now is between 60-70% with fan and dehumidifier. I wonder if the buds would be better in jars with 50% humidity packet. I'm afraid they will mold hanging in the house. Rain all wk.

Harvest
Does it seem like I'm ready to harvest? I'm looking for about 20-30% amber trichomes, but I don't want to lose growth potential either. This is an auto, probably Early Miss- week 13 from seed. They're bud pictures from an outdoor grow. TIA

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!

Wanting to harvest early, having pm issues
Wanting to harvest a little early as I’m having issues with pm. About 7 weeks flower and trichomes are mostly cloudy. See pics week 14. Am I ready to harvest as is? I know it may not be best bud yet but is it good enough now to harvest? Thanks!

Herb Dryer 2
Hi growmies, Posting here a picture of an initial draft of idea for herb drying with stealth and easiness. Is an helicoidal inline fan too much? Any ideas of other types of carbon filter instead the odorsok? If you get ideas please share ;)

How close do these look to ready? Video in diary
How early did I cut these? I know they are at least on the early side of harvest ready if not a little bit before ready, but the top of the colas definitely have a good bit of amber trichomes and I was dealing with a heat issue effecting the top buds so I cut a few to test.

Is My Drying Humidity Too Low?
Humidity is hanging right around 60% but sometimes dips to 58%. Temp is around 66°-68°. Those numbers are coming from my AC Infinity controller, while a cheap little temp and humidity gauge I placed in the plant says humidity is 71%. Is my humidity too low? Get a humidifier?

Air drying in shed
I am drying my harvest in my outside shed in the uk - am a little bit worried about moisture and lack of air movement. The shed has no power so cannot use a fan. I will be opening the door up and letting in air daily. What else can I do to prevent mold?
