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

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?

Since day 1 I've had 3 different phenos of this GG grow. Pheno 1 & 2 are pretty much at the same stage, but the pace of pheno 3 is 1-2 weeks behind the rest. I'm not sure what to do as I plan to dry in my tent, a staged harvest isn't the best option Any tips? Pics included THX

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.

Drying - I've tried it all!
Drying, I cut each stem, hang from net, no fans on just extraction on timer every 2 hours for 30 mins. Temps held solid between 18-19 degrees and minimal trim removed beforehand. I can still notice the smell fading and a hay like one taking over. Does anyone have any advice?

Mass drying in garage
Anyone have any recommendations for drying? I have 5 outdoor plants that are pretty large, probably upwards of 3-4lbs dry I’m thinking. I cannot dry in my house I have to dry in my garage. The temp is between 75-80 degrees during the day and 40%rh without any rain.

How should I harvest?
So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.

How to remove Mites before harvest, after final discharge, in some natural way so as not to harm the buds?
I did a defoliation, but I saw that there are few mites still close to the buds. I'm going to harvest this week and I would like to know how to eliminate them so that I don't have problems drying them or smoking them in the end.
Leaves. Too few
