When you bend stems little ones will crack but not break in half. Or buds break off when pulled downwards easily.

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.Week 12

Harvest preferences - substrate/trim wet or dryJust 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 trimOther. Harvest - Drying

I have mason jars and boveda 62% humidity packs. Any other tips I should know for my first time?Other. Harvest - Drying
