Ehm... You harvested a lot earlier! Another 2-3 weeks , all pystils need to be brown, with all milky thricomes, maybe 25% amber for a more physical effect.. now you have at least 30% less product, with a lot less cannabinoids and terpenes..😅

Es sieht so aus als wenn du viel zu früh geerntet hättest, die Fäden werden eigentlich im blüteprpzess schon braun …

Time to harvest
Are they ready to cut off? I have flushed about a week ago. And before harvesting it is an advantage to put her in the complete dark or other method that helps? Thanks!

Is it normal for a mainlined plant to have a few colas stretch so hard? I reckon I only have another 5/6 inches of growth space above the highest cola and am starting to worry. I have swapped out the lights for veg lights today to try and slow it down...

Boveda 62
I'm not convinced with Boveda 62, trying on properly dried and pretty well cured weed and its taking the humidity up to 67% and all the stalks are going bendy. Did I get rubber-dicked by an ebay seller or is this normal? Prior to the Boveda pack I had a good stable RH in jars.

How long lasts drying?
How long is average curing? I keep reading different things. Somewhere between 5-14 days. Can I leave mine drying for 14 days while I am away? It's either that or dry it within a week and than put it in jars for 14 days. I have no one to mind them while I'm away. Thanks guys!

Freeze dry method
I think I found a nice easy way to freeze dry. I take a half gallon mason jar full of weed that's been drying for 5 days capped. Put it in the freezer for 45 minutes. Then take the out, take the cap off, and use a USB fan to pull out the moist air. What do you guys think?

Herb Dryer 2
Hi growmies, Posting here a picture of an initial draft of idea for herb drying with stealth and easiness. Is an helicoidal inline fan too much? Any ideas of other types of carbon filter instead the odorsok? If you get ideas please share ;)

Those of you that hang entire plants to dry… if you weigh the entire plant wet, what percentage loss in weight are you looking for before you buck the nugs and start curing?

Help!! Do I harvest?
About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.
