ProfDoty
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?

Autoflower: Harvesting in Sections
Hello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? 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...

How do you dry your buds? Here’s my method – what’s yours?
How do you dry your buds? Do you hang them, use nets, racks, tents, boxes? Do you go for cold drying, slow & steady, or faster drying? What RH and temp ranges do you aim for and how do you tell they’re ready for the jars? Snap test, hygrometer or feel?

Turning lights off before harvesting
I've seen some growers who turn the lights off a couple of days before harvest, and I don't know why. Are there any benefits to doing this? or concerns?

Hey ! My Critical is having around 60% Brown Hairs and the Trichomes are starting to look milky (at least I think so). Would it be ok to start harvest around a week from now ? If I'm messing up the nutes because it's turning yellow... any comments ? Happy growing !!!

What do you all think?
What do you all think? The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry Do you think it will be more or less? I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.

Ideal Drying Conditions?
What's the best way to dry the bud to preserve as many terpenes as possible? What are the terps "enemies"? Is too much airflow a concern? Too high temps? How high is too high for the temperature?
