Harvesting Cannabis in the Back Yard

thx for the stars and views on this one, GLP!

i'm working on a second video where i show trimming into jars
let me know if you want to see it when it goes live!

It's croptober

Try growing in a closet. Harvest year round.

lol

Did you check the trichomes with a loupe? I would hazard a guess that you harvested a bit too early.

It is important to harvest as late as possible because those last weeks are when they put on the most weight. Earlier you harvest, the more heady a high you get vs a later harvest more body high.

Your soil-less mix looks like it would benefit from the addition of some grit. I'm a fan of calcined clay in my soilless mixes personally.

I agree you harvested a little early

Good video, though..

Nice crop.

Have you ever experienced mold on your plants?
And if so may be the case, how did you handle it?

We got almost the same kind of facial hair growth.

I liked your garden.

i did not check the trichomes with a loupe.. i might check out my drying bud with the magnifying glass later today, but i should get a loupe.

it's possible the harvest was 'too early'
then again, i live in canada, and this was the last sunny day before the rains
it had to come out, waited as long as i could!



well that's ok, i like the state of mind more than the body stone.
for making hash though i would agree.

Are you allowed to grow (and smoke) tobacco?

Well the plants look well taken care of and the ones in the back look great too. Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Nothing like smoking your own homegrown! Cheers

The wife makes canna butter with the trimmings, to cook with.

Her edibles are always VERY strong LOL

i know people who do this, and i will keep a couple of mothers indoor for cloning.

honestly though, i think weed picks up the 'vibrations' around it and stores those in its crystals.. do you want a claustrophobic suffocating kind of stone, or do you want a chat with gaia's nubile green daughters?

this is why i prefer good organic outdoor grow

i think you're right about the grit, i notice a lot of local growers add vermiculite or lava stones.. thx for your calcined clay idea, i'll look into that.

thx! =)



yes and for me mold is death.

there are products you can use to kill mold on your plants but do you really want to smoke that into your lungs?

toss the plant, far away from the others.

best to avoid mold in the first place.
tips for that are good air flow, sunshine, dry soil (don't over water!)

indoor plants are where i see mold most often, outside almost never, i think the sun sterilizes molds. however, i do harvest before the autumn rains, even if it's a bit early, since late cold rain with little sunshine can induce mold in outdoor plants.



that's awesome!



thank-you for that, she's my lover.

Nice little plants there.

Hey i like that theory.

very cool.. how does she make it?

because last year, i tried to make butter but instead i made a huge stinky mess!
it was so bad i'm going to try the ice bubble hash method instead.

but i'm curious if you have a good method for making canna butter?

How many dry oz per plant?

Are you allowed to grow 4 plants indoors?

Can you describe the difference? I imagine the organic outdoor will not be stronger but more dimensional.

thank you!

f-junk head thinks pruning a small plant is a lot of work. that is why you should not smoke it.

remains to be seen, i'm drying this crop out right now.

at least one 2 quart mason jar off each plant, a couple were two jars.
so i got about 6 quart jars off my four mid-sized plants this year.
i'll weigh it when it's cured, maybe a month away.

how i love GLP, lol

you seem a little stessed out, bro.. maybe you should try it!

have you tried dry ice in those bubble bags yet?

and if I may ask ... to everyone

what is you favorite decarb method? what temp and duration?

i see the usual recommendations for 250 degrees between 25-30 minutes.

yes.

here is a link to the Cannabis Act that was passed in 2018 in Canada if you're curious about the details:

[link to www.canlii.org (secure)]

legalization is sorta funny.. you have to read what is prohibited and draw inference from that, for example:

Cultivation, propagation and harvesting — dwelling-house limit

(5) Unless authorized under this Act, if two or more individuals who are 18 years of age or older are ordinarily resident in the same dwelling-house, it is prohibited for any of those individuals to cultivate, propagate or harvest any cannabis plants if doing so results in there being more than four such plants being cultivated, propagated or harvested at any one time in the dwelling-house.

..means that if everyone in the house is over 18, then yes, you can have four plants in your house.

i have not.. dry ice, curious how that works, have you tried it?

Weak plant growth, should be at least head high and bushy if you grow outdoors.

in my opinion?

physically, i find indoor grows that used a lot of chemicals cause me to cough a lot more than clean, outdoor organic grows.

if people were angry, or fighting around where the plants were growing, i feel that emotion when i smoke it.

if the wind was blowing, the sun was shining, the mists were dancing on the mountainsides, the birds were singing, the skies were blue with wistful clouds, dancing amidst the rarefied aethers where the plants were growing.. well.. i think about that instead when i smoke it.
