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 …

Hang full plant or hang branches?
Just wondering if there is a preference among more experienced growers. Should I hang the full plant to dry or hang individual branches? I pretty new at growing. Let me know.

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.
14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

the flowers are very light
Hello my dears I saw balls of some of my plants. and I ripped these balls off. I have harvested now and my flowers are very light. but I could not find seeds. Does the lightness of the flowers have anything to do with this?

Drying advice? Suggestions please! :)
Hey, I'm going to be chopping these ladies in about 10-14 days. My grow is still running in the tent, so I have no drying area. My house is humid and damp. I have one closet which I could try. I'm just worried about mould! Suggestions are extremely appreciated!

Edible out of fresh harvest
Hi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?

I am coming to the end of my first grow and I am drying in a grow tent with a in-line fan and carbon filter, my question is, Do I need to add an additional fan to my tent for more airflow during the drying phase or will the inline fan have a sufficient amount of airflow?

Once again I must ask, is it ready for harvest?
Pistols are anywhere from 60-80% orange depending on the cola, and the trichomes are mixed, I see some clear, I see milky and I see amber.We're mid week 8 of flower as well. If it's close enough should I ice the pot and start my 2 days of darkness now?

Harvest now or a week?
Should I be looking to harvest these buds? Hope the image quality is not too bad to see the trichomes. Still a few clear trichomes on the purple plant and more frosty on the green one.

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?
