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 to dry for Keef collecting(after budwashing)?
How long would you guys dry the bud for at an average of 61 degrees F and 54% humidity? Mind you I want to collect Keef in my Grinder and trim bin so I want it a little extra dry. The drying method is dry 5 days on single branches trim into individual nugs and dry about a week.

Is there any effect of letting an auto strain in the dark before harvest, what 48h or so?
Also wonder if I have to get the lights on after that, for a couple of hours, or so, and then cut them. I have read it's at this time plants produces more terpenes, is that right?

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 ready. Watered this morning. Wait an extra day?
My OG Kush are ready! Trichomes are all cloudy with a good little of amber. Pistils are >70% brown and she looks nice. I watered this morning and the pot is still feeling heavy. Should I chop tomorrow morning or give it an extra dry out day? Does it matter? Anything else?

Ideal Drying Conditions?
What's the best way to dry the bud to preserve as many terpenes as possible? What are the terps "enemies"? Is too much airflow a concern? Too high temps? How high is too high for the temperature?

In the dark before harvest?
Is it imperative to put them in the dark before harvesting? I've built myself a dry box that will keep them dark, cool, and the air circulating. I still have plants growing so I can't off the lights and I don't have anywhere else to set them.

Are these to early to pick?
So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented them

When to jar the buds after drying?
Hey guys! Advice says prune and jar when the branches snap but not completely break. Roger that, but when the smaller branches snap, do i also prune and jar the buds coming from the main stem? Or do i need to wait until the stem does the same? ✌️

I was in week 2 flower when my timer reset to 24/7. I didn't get it corrected until 6 days later. How will this affect my grow? The flowers seem to be behind by a couple of weeks but flowers are starting to form. Should I continue to flower longer than normal? Feminized, not auto
