Harvesting Cannabis in the Back Yard

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.

The maryjane is ready in the garden!

Big and beautiful!

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.

My wife needs to trim her Bush.

You need to grow right out of the ground.
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

Very cool Bro!



Springy scissors are great for trimming!

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

If you want to harvest a 1/4lb every harvest, ok.

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

it's difficult to watch the cannabis world produce amazing results while most of us sit on our hands from a sideline

Looks good. Just pulled down my blue dream. It was in a 35 gallon pot... It smells so good.

You need to dry your buds before jarring them! Jars are for curing and curing comes after drying.

sweet!

do you have any photos?
what did you feed it during the last month?

I don't use anything except water that last month. 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.

chop your plants

hang them upside down to dry for about 2 weeks

trim and jar as needed, canning jars that is, lids seal the product

open jars once per day for a few minutes to breath

three or four weeks will suffice, product is now cured

that's a good tip, thx.
for sure i'll use a bigger pot/base for my plants next year
they were rootbound in that 2"x1" cedar box shown in the video.

Make your own compost, let it grow in rich soil.

Good god, get a 3ft plot per plant.

thank-you for this..

hippies here can never really give me a straight answer on this process so your explanation is much appreciated.
