Harvesting Cannabis in the Back Yard | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79141158 10/10/2020 07:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did you check the trichomes with a loupe? I would hazard a guess that you harvested a bit too early. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79476748 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. Surprisingly or not, lots of people like to harvest early to prevent being stuck on the couch all day. When the trichomes are cloudy and just one or two look darker is when they harvest. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37645337 Make a wire basket so the gophers cannot get them Plant earlier in the year so they have longer to veg. and get begger. I grow outdoor in northern california. My clones were in the ground beginning of april. I grow 5-7ft plants averaging 1lb per plant. My record yield was over 2lbs from a 7+ft monster Your planter box’s are way too small, limiting your potential yield. And yes, you are pulling too early...those buds are airy and small. But keep going you’ll only get better |

Outdoor. PVC Hoop house Supplemental light Light-depo Control the light cycle like indoor, but grow big outdoor. Harvest 4 times a year with big yeilds |

Jars are for curing and curing comes after drying. Quoting: Revolution of Consciousness i'm trying it both ways this time: some i've hung to dry. some went straight into jars. i'm going to agree though, i'm having huge condensation issues with the jars right now, moved a lot of that bud to glass cake pans lined with paper towel.

I use fox farms nutrients but just half what the bottle says add silica and lots of calcium. Dawn dish soap is my secret weapon for pests. Should have taken better pics, the plant was huge like a small tree though. You should look at those big cloth pots on Amazon. Big roots make big flowers and lots of them. A legend in my own mind |
