MrBz21
started grow question 4y ago
It's my first time so I'm not sure if I'm trimming too much or not enough. Also, what am I supposed to do with the small underdeveloped flowers from the bottom? Thanks!!!

How long to tent dry and other options?
I chopped the 5 RQS banana autos 1 week ago and the branches are still very flexible. The snap test isn't going to work any time soon. Temp avg 18, RH 55% depending on time of day. They're in my tent with extractor and floor fan running 24/7. Just be patient? For how long?

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?

Drying in too warm circonstances. Dry with leaves on?
I will be harvesting my first grow! But I'm worrying the climate in my country won't make drying easy. What should one do in case of to high temperatures. I will try to find a well vented place thats not to hot. But should I try drying without cutting all foliage to dry slow? 🥦✌️

How do I figure "wet" weight on this big girl?
She's been outside, so I plan to wash the buds and then do a wet cure. (using for edibles). I'm doing a rough trim before I soak her, but still have a lot of weight in branches. Is this expected for 'wet' weight? Is the final weight after fully drying and trimming? Thanks!

harvest worries
One of the plants looks ready. I was told generally to add 1-2 weeks when you think its ready to harvest. But How should i proceed now? Flushing? drying out? when or should i even prune before cutting the plant down? What should my drying/hang space look like?

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?
Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? Thx

Best Time to Use a Trim Bowl
Looking for advice on when to use my trim bowl? Wet/as part of harvest? Dry/after drying on stems fir a couple weeks? Last year I used it wet/part of harvest - felt like I lost a lot of resin to the trimmer. I don’t smoke much... mostly make edibles/tinctures.

why use fans with drying process?
hello, i see that many use fans while the plant is drying and was wondering why that was, is it just to slow the drying process if the room is hot or does it improve the quality or? thanks

Should I raise the light higher than the recommended hanging high to promote stretching and start LST? Right now they are about 31 inches. I'm using the Mars Hydro TS1000 and they recommend 18 inches from tops. Im getting tight internodes and wanting to see some stretch.

Ready for harvest?
Does anyone think this plant is ready for harvest? It went through a decent amount of stress early in veg and it seems as the buds aren't developing or fattening anymore

What’s up guys just harvested my gelato! My dry room sits at 20-25c and 40-55%. I’ve cut all big fan leaves off and hung it all up. In two days I plan to completely trim and then re hang to finish drying. Does that sound like a good idea? Any tips are appreciated. Many thanks!
