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.

When to start curing?
Harvested and started drying Saturday November 27 at 6:00 PM. Chopped a few small colas and put them in a jar and the hygrometer is reading 63%. Is it okay to chop the rest and start the curing process?

Time to harvest
Are they ready to cut off? I have flushed about a week ago. And before harvesting it is an advantage to put her in the complete dark or other method that helps? Thanks!

I am about to harvest pretty soon... Are you a dry trim or wet trim type of grower? Why? Full trim? Partial? How many hours of darkness before chop? Any other advice for a first time harvester is appreciated! TIA!

Der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Fermentieren
Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt zum curen (fermentieren) gekommen? Ich hatte jetzt 2 kleine Knospen 7 Tage lang getrocknet und sie dann bei 62% ins Glas getan. Am 2. Tag beim Rülpsen riecht es ein wenig nach Heu. Ist das normal? Wie stelle ich bei geschnittenen Buds die Zeit fest

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lower
Now 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine. Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow? Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.
14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

the flowers are very light
Hello my dears I saw balls of some of my plants. and I ripped these balls off. I have harvested now and my flowers are very light. but I could not find seeds. Does the lightness of the flowers have anything to do with this?

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?
Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks). To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?

Autoflower: Harvesting in Sections
Hello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

Hi all! I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier. Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one? Could u tell me what to do?
