answered grow question 4y 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.

How long lasts drying?
How long is average curing? I keep reading different things. Somewhere between 5-14 days. Can I leave mine drying for 14 days while I am away? It's either that or dry it within a week and than put it in jars for 14 days. I have no one to mind them while I'm away. Thanks guys!

Into Darkness before chop?
I am going to harvest very soon. Should I leave the plants in darkness before I cut them down? If so, how long and what would the ideal temperature / humidity be? Thanks in advance all!

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?

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?

Small bud rot - Harvest or finish off? 9 weeks into flower
I've had to cut about a 1 inch section off the top of one of my colas due to what appears to be rot. I've checked the rest of the plant and can't see anywhere else that has been effected. Should I harvest now to be on the safe side or let it finish up?

Hey GD peeps, it's me again. :) Looking for some advice on this little lady for her harvest - 10 days of flushing so far. 1) Should I trim all fan leaves and leave her for 3 more days, 2) 2 days of darkness after the last three days of flushing? Any advice here would help! TY! <3

Harvest time or?
I'm on day 80. I observe that trichomes are changing. However, I am not sure about harvesting at the right time because it is my first grow. Genetics 75% indica , please help! (By watering empty, I reduced it to 300-400 ppm.) is this too early?

Harvest preferences - substrate/trim wet or dry
Just 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 trim

When could I start to harvest?
When do you guys think I could start harvesting? I’m in week 9 of a Fast Eddy CBD grow. This strain only had 9% THC so I didn’t know if this would mean the trichomes don’t go as milky.
