started grow question 6y ago
How do I know when to harvest? Is it when the trichomes are 10 percent amber on the main cola or 10 Percent amber for the whole plant?

Hey gang hope you all are doing well! I wanted to ask if cardboard box drying is okay and if a small fan oscillating will be sufficient? Also how long to keep them in the box as such? Please see last pic for reference... Thanks again!

How can I mask the smell of fresh harvest for 4 hrs at a time without risking mold?
I did a wet trim, cut and hung my girls tonight. My landlord's realtor is showing my apartment 12-4 Thursday-Sunday. I'm going to put them in paper bags and put them in this bin under my bed for the 4 hours people come through and just burn incense. Will the buds be ok? Any tips?

Should I harvest a bit early?
I had some nutrient problems early on, so a lot of my leaves are dead. My LST didn't go very well so some of the bigger colas don't have a lot of room to get additional light. I'm thinking it may be time to go ahead and cut and harvest. Trichomes look pretty cloudy. See vid

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.
