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

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?Other. Harvest - Drying

What to do with smaller flowers during drying vs larger colas? And how do you get large colas in jars? I assume I have to trim them too smaller size right?Ok so drying on day 3/4 now and still too moist i can tell. But my rhetorical question is obviously the smaller buds will dry faster than the bigger and main colas right? Do I need to start jaring the smaller flowers then work to the bigger ones? Or all at once? Also, i assume...Other. Harvest - Drying

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

Harvest time soon?Trichs are almost all milky but most pistils haven't turned brown yet. My question to the novices and pros in our community is when to harvest this? Not all plants exhibit the same signs so I've included representative bud shots. I prefer an "up" buzz not the amber couch lock.Week 9

Lots of Yellow Leaves-No Amber TrichomesMy 2 Sour Diesel autos are at the 11 week mark. I've flushed them for one week now and they are getting lots of yellow leaves and the trichomes are getting milky. However there is hardly a trace of any amber trichomes. Do I wait for the amber? Am I being impatient?Week 11

Dovrei raccogliere tra circa 10 giorni, ho trattato una zona del box con olio di neem per via di un infestazione di ragnetti rossi. Vorrei sciacquare i fiori, ripuliti dalle foglie più grandi, prima di metterli appesi ad essicare per togliere i residui. Come devo procedere? Grz4y ago

How should I prep this freaky fan flower for smoking?This plump lil flower growing on a fan leaf is getting picked off and smoked when I see the first amber trichs, should I put it directly in a small jar with a 2way humidity pack?
Trichomes seem to be aging faster than on normal inflorescence, touch slower than the ones on fans.4y ago
