Cutting down for harvest
Showmethewaytogrowhomestarted grow question 4y ago
I'm right on the verge of my first harvest and there seems to be several approaches to cutting down the plants. Should I cut and hang the entire plant or cut and hang individual branches?

High,
Congrats with the harvest!!!
I think its all up to what serves you best, with the conditions you offer.
If you got all the stuff and a perfect clima, I should go for a good week of intire plant drying. And see from then on how to handle it further.
If your not that lucky yet, to have all the goodies, i rather go with cutting it in to pieces. Using carton boxes and a cord to make small drying compartiments is easy and will do the trick.
In all cases, get some minor ventilation on outside the boxes, or in case of the tent, just a flow from the airsubstraction will do.
Grow safe buds!!
🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

Three days of darkness before harvest...water them or not?Going to do three days of complete darkness before harvesting.
Question is...
Should I water them once right before the three days of darkness and let them sit in the dark, then clip.
Or
Let them dry up for two day under lights and then sit them for another three in the dark.Other. Harvest - Drying
