Harvesting Cannabis in the Back Yard

I use coat hangers. Tie the stems to the coat hanger and let them dangle. You don't want them touching anything. I've done this for over a decade. I typically dry them in the grow room or a closet with a heater.

For your molded bud, depending on how molded it is, you could probably still make edible butter with it. Spray some hydrogen peroxide on it and let it dry, see if it gets worse or not. Keep the molded stuff away from the good stuff, completely separate rooms if possible.

Love your garden and beds.
Maybe you can bump this for me. Ive never seen anything like this in Northern California.

I'm in Canada too and I grew 3 plants outdoors this summer. 2 of them i brought in about 2 weeks ago and brought the last one in yesterday.


You say you hang the plants for 2 to three weeks. I dont think you have to hang them that long do you? I hang mine for a just over a week then put them in jars with a humidity pack for about 3 weeks.

The plant i brought in yesterday was one of five clones of an earlier batch. I only have room for 4 plant in my indoor grow tent so i stuck the smallest one outside. It never grew as big as my indoor plants but i think it grew the most bud out of all of them.

The indoor ones still have 2 weeks before i cut them down. I cut the outdoor one down a little early cause the nights are starting to get cold here

You have to dry 85-90% before curing in jars. Wow wish i saw this post before you reached this point

youtube made me age restrict this one, sorry.. you gotta be 19.

but if you were ever curious how that canadian legalization thing is going, well, here's me harvesting a couple of my own plants -- it is now legal in canada to grow four cannabis plants for personal consumption.

also, if you ever wondered what i look like, here's your chance:

well it's probably time to make that hash..
maybe tomorrow.

any tips from the forum?

i'm going to freeze my shake for a few hours first
i've got the bags
i've got an egg beater to help me beat the bags
i've got two 5 gallon pails
gonna get a bunch of ice
anything else i need?

I'm telling you please retire from making "marijuana" how-to videos. If you don't believe me try posting that bubble hash one on any major site and see what happens. I'm trying to help you out here.

I don't make bubble hash but from skimming that vid that is not how you do it. What was that green stuff at the end supposed to be? Hash? Come on, maaaan.

thank you for your kind comments

Not trying to be kind but I am trying to save you from major flame-age. As a grower it is annoying to see. It's like "I don't know what I'm doing but here's how you do it!"

we imagine your videos are much better..
can we see one?

I don't make videos but if I did I wouldn't try to educate people about something I do not understand; something that there are plenty of videos on made by experts already. Post your vids on any major grow site and see for yourself if my advice is sound or not. I'm trying not to be too hard on you but to still bring you around to reality somewhat.

ah, i see.. a critic who "does not do"
fair enough.
i posted myself as a n00b harvesting my second crop.
this cannabis series is just one of the topics i cover, and it's done well.
not sure why you got all heated about it.. probably just an ego thing.
thx for your replies at any rate, i've learned much from this experience.

You need more soil, and to feed the plant more fertilizer.

Just like tomatoes, if you grow in a small pot, you will get small tomatoes.

Next time, but the biggest grow bags you can find, and fill them up with good soil.

It's a weed, and grows like a weed. The more you give it the bigger they will get.

I would check the laws, but if you can legally increase the growing season with adjunct lights, it would seem a good idea.

Big plant yields can be in the 5-10 lb range. Should be getting at least 1lb.

You could have learned when I first told you not to try drying in a jar for one thing. You could learn a lot just by searching and reading forums. Everyone can. I know I read the crap out of everything I could find for years and still do. I would tell you more but it sounds like you are the expert so I am looking up to you I guess!

friend, i film a tonne of footage all in one day, doing all the stuff.
then it takes me weeks to review, edit, and post that footage.
so while i really appreciated all the excellent tips i received on this forum, it was already too late, the deed was already done!

but next year, for sure, i will take a lot of these tips, including yours, to heart with my next crop.

as for posting my failures for all to see, i think it's another way for people to learn, or point and laugh, or whatever. my job is to share my gift with the world while i still can.

final video in this series,

how to dry, cut, and cure bubble hash:

I've been busy harvesting mine down in Colorado. Also I work for a cannabis farm lol been harvesting weed for weeks now.
