That little shatter looking ball is just resin leaking from the leaf.
The term for that is called gutation. This can happen in veg, in flower and I suppose after harvest.
Really nothing to worry about. Just stick it in your pipe and smoke it 🤣🤙

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?Week 11

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Optimal harvest time?Optimal time to harvest? I can see a few amber trichomes but find it hard to tell the clear and cloudy apart in my best effort pictures. I'd love a stronger head high with couchlock being a secondary trait I'm looking for. Can I achieve this by harvesting at a certain time?6y ago
