Whats going on gang?! First forum post on any site im much more of a reader then writer but this community seems super dope so I thought I’d give it a try. My name is Harold 34 years old living in Colorado have a small family i started here since moving from NYC 6 years ago. I’ve had amazing change of life here from bee keeping to raising chickens to having my own garden. I love and thank God I have the ability to show my year and a half old son how we are supposed to grow our own crops and share with our neighbors. I have a torn labrum and acl knee surgery which cause tremendous pain at times but the herbal medicine helps ease the pain. I’ve tried outdoor growing for 4 years now but have had 1 successful grow. Can’t seem to get the harvest right and lose all flavor on my smoke. It’s been sad to waste the time but I continue to try and hopefully I can get it right. I’ve finally decided to try my luck indoors this winter. I’m pheno hunting for some banana og/ strawberry diesel, then anything that doesn’t have much of a citrus taste to it. Any suggestions any advice on harvesting or growing in general is appreciated! Thanks to you guys I made my first order on glg of jaws banana kush for my first run. This is a Franken cakes clone i grew this year outdoors but I’m getting nervous once again as harvest time is upon us almost. Please help lol . Thanks for your time team sorry for going on i got excited . Blessings and love to all. 2AFC4271-0A5A-4C5B-A930-E57EE2CF3AC6.jpeg

@UncleB i appreciate you brother! I’ve been working on my soil for 4 years now. No nutes just water n sun. Any tips on how to get a good harvest this year is appreciated!!

I'm down here in the Sonoran Desert. Anything I could offer would likely not be of much help. Hold tight, there's plenty of Northerner's that will be popping in. Really glad you're here. I like you already!! ☺️

The dry and cure is a huge part. It's really dry in CO and keeping a constant humidity and temp is crucial. A good target is 50F 50%rh but 60F and 60% works for me.

Watch the tricomes, this will be more personal preference but the common error is to take plants too soon

Welcome to the Crew!!

Everything that @SSGrower just said is what I was thinking. ?
When to harvest...big deal!
At what rate the plant dries...big deal!
At what dryness to jar...big deal!
Unfortunately, every different environment has its own do's and don'ts, and we are not going to be able to give you detailed specifics on the how to.
From harvest to jarring the time frame should be 7-10 day, if not longer. That will depend on the RH where you are at.
If it wants to dry to fast, hanging the plant whole will help somewhat.
One of the tricks I like to use is putting a digital hydrometer in the jar with the buds to see what the RH is.
Above 70% it will want to mold, and below 50% it will not cure properly.

I have never grown outdoors, but I am sure it has its own learning curve. (As does growing indoors.)

There are lots of way more experienced grows here at PH than I am, and they are a wealth of knowledge.
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
When you get started on your indoor, I would recommend a grow journal so we can follow along.

Good luck!!
Cheers,
WillieP

Probably the tent. Be sure to have indirect air circulation. I use a duct fan, ac infinity has temp and humidity set points, and a small clip fan in the bottom of the tent.

Look for the thread "gettin learnt on dryin and curin" for more info too. Lots of different styles key is to find what works for you in your environment. You may find you need a humidifier or a dehuey or both. I use a swamp cooler but that's not standard lol.
