Harvest Time: A Tutorial

kimmisan said:

thanks for the feedback! i have been plucking little guys off it because my patience is on vacation. I'll let you know how the harvest goes. What do you think of the method i used? Meaning: all low to the soil and pinned down? Any suggestions for improvements? My limitations are space and money. maybe i let it veg longer next time and get more branches?

Thanks!

Next time let her develop in a natural way, don't cut her, don't strech her.. let it be. from germination - 2 weeks with high humidity... then cfl lights ... then in july, plant her outdoor... speaking real time ...end of may

that sounds great except a: i dont have the space to grow a tall plant, that is why I used the LST style method, and b: i can't plant outside, I live in the north and that would be toooooo chilly and not enough sun. I havent cut much of anything except what i cut off to smoke because i got impatient. i dont understand what you mean plant outside in july but in real time end of may?

This is the one I was talking about Fdd. This is a GOOD thread. Thank you. I"d rep you, but you're too mean to me.

I mean now it's a perfect time to start germinating your new seeds. In july you can take those girls outdoor where they will fill in with nice looking buds. About those 2 days of darkeness before cutting, i don't know what to say, but in nature the sun is there everyday. As i know you can't increase or decrease your amount/potency by doing so, so i guess it's all about you. But cure those buds properly. Leave them aprox 5 days to dry (depending on your medium). When the stem is breaking and not bending is the perfect time to store your buds in sealed jars for the next 2 weeks or longer. Open those jars twice a day and put them in dark place, room temperature.
Good luck with your harvest, good job with the plant for your needs.

i put my heart into this thread. took the time to cover as much as i could. took pictures. explained everything i knew. then i get people in here who still ask "is this done yet"? the whole point of this thread is so you don't have to ask that question. yet i get it all day long and am fully expected to answer. expected. the last thing you should ask after reading this thread is "is this one done?".


seriously.

Maybe you ought to just take a break from it, then, if it's THAT vexing to you.

Also, if they're asking "is this done," it just shows ya, doesn't it, how it's so different for everyone. Just like setting up rooms. And really, when you're posting a tutorial thread, why would you not expect that anyway?

I found the thread very helpful, which is WHY I posted what I did. You're welcome.

Hey guys this is one of the good threads that I look at from time to time for reference... it has been awesome from the start and lets keep it that way ! please don't let this thread follow the path of many others lets keep the love everyone!!

nice tutorial fdd.... hope you pump out more tutorials for us down the RIU road!!

fdd - I learned a ton about harvesting via-this tutorial ...even before I signed up as a member. Thanks so much for all of the knowledge.
I personally think, as it's already a sticky, that you should just close this thread out and be done with it. I think it will save you a lot of frustration. Either that or just delete the "is my plant done yet" posts in order to keep the thread what it was meant to be: a tutorial. Just my as-per-usual-unsolicited-2-cents.
Thanks again!

but some people do have some good questions. the other day someone asked what was done with all the small buds with no stems and fdd was able too answer him. so maybe there is still some good questions to be asked to help everyone.
but i do agree that people should be learning for there self and not asking the question "is this done yet".
check my avi its white widow AND ITS DONE.

well i surely apologize for insulting anyone with my questions. i did read the thread, follow the photos, the tutorials, etc. i have learned lots of stuff. but i was unsure, and didnt want to fk up my first nice plant. i knew someone who reads in here could help with a simple reply, which they did, and I appreciate that very much.
relaxxx

thank you for calling me mean.

Fdd - its not your "job" to maintain the thread and answer everyone's questions - half the time 5 other people answer too! So don't let it bug ya - its a great tutorital and I learn as much from people who post pictures seeing what is - is not - and isn't quite done - its like repeated examples!

Its a good thing! But don't take it as your responsibility to reply to'em all!!

Just a first comment from a longtime lurker and learner - and someone who's prolly a 1-2 week out from harvest and trying to convince hubby that they aren't done yet cuz they don't look like YOUR pictures! *grins* ((too much white...))

i get bitched at for "ignoring" peoples questions. it's a never ending battle regardless of what i do.

seriously tho thanks for the thread FDD. i have always been unsure about the cure but know i no that someone such as yourself (who grows alot more than me) doe,s it in the exact same way. my blue cheese is curing up nicely.

looks very nice.

2 last pics are white widow

looks like the widow has some seeds was that on purpose i assume it was.

One of my White widow harvested was really green like your last two pics man. After about a week curing more like your first couple of pics.

now i do have a question thats good info and i think a good way to do it but one thing thats missing is the type of air flow you use when hanging do you put a lil fan in there and is it on low, med, or high. or what other air flow do u use

i wish it was on purpose racer, but no this is down too green house fem seeds. the seeds are from right inside the buds where a few male flowers where unseen still there is only a few and the smoke is nice

the blue cheese (first 2)is a week ahead of the white widow(last 2) thats why its darker both are fucking amazing though
