Harvest Time: A Tutorial

[Hash Lover]

have you ever heard of cutting the whole thing at night? my buddy was telling thats the best to do because when the plan is sleeping, all the chlorophyll in the plan get stored in the root-ball for storage since the plant is not photosynthesizing. says its a smoother smoke and easier to burn when fully dried and cured.
but i haven't tried it.... yet so no personal opinions to fully back this up

That sounds like one of those myth's. IMO there's no way all of the chlorophyll could go to the roots at night. Shine a light on them and you'll see they're still green in the dark right? Not to say it does anything or not I've just never seen anything about it and I've done a lot of reading. And there's a lot of bullshit out there. When you hear or read something like that do more research on it If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. And if it was so good why isn't everyone doing it. Happy picking to all.

curing it to lose the grassy smell and to develop the taste and smells of your bud.

That's the chlorophyll you're trying to get rid of. A couple month's really do make a difference. Try to save some that long and you will see. Hey, I only said try. haha

ok so what is curing for? cant u just dry them

curing is for redistributing moisture through the bud since drying usually dries the outside only and leaves the inside moist so when you cure nugs in a jar the humidity given off by the buds redistributes moisture through the whole bud and if done right you got buds dry enough to smoke but still have that fresh sticky feeling =D


hope that helped a bit

That's part of it, but there is more to it than that.

Hey kid..I've gone back a dozen pages and still haven't seen when to harvest as in what time in the light/dark cycle...just after lights on/off..in middle of dark/light? So confusing..I've tried various times but that was outdoors. When indoors I've done it just after lights on..Opinions please..

 

[kid cannabis]

a lot of people say lights off ive never experimented ive just clipped em at night but a lot of ppl say it doesnt matter that its just one of those dumb myths a grower made when he was high and got a lotta followers that were just as baked hahaha

 

[Anotheroldephart]

Um baked.not yet cooking dinner*g* Thanks.That'll work. Just have to make sure i'm clipping the right plant..er tub.

 

[kid cannabis]

hahahahhaha yea fdd likes to clip em one branch at a time and yours have alotta bud sites or some big branches you might not want to harvest all at once but good luck and happy trimming
