First harvest.

[Taco740]

Hey everyone at RIU! So it's my first harvest and I have a few questions. First when I do harvest do I water my plants first or wait for the soil to dry? After I cut and trim then what do I do? Do I cure? And for how long. Any help and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone. Have fun growing!

Maybe check the "Harvesting and curing" section? Lots of info already there. Don't be lazy.

Now that I know there is such a section I will check it out, but I didn't think that trying to get advice and comparing different harvesting techniques was being lazy but now that I know, next time I won't post under a newbie section of a forum for advice about first time grows. Apologies, I will do my research.

I'm not mad, I just feel as tho he could have said that a little less douchey.

I agree. He probably just didn't realize you were unaware of a harvesting and curing section. Your a newbie and when you see that subject line you jump to it. Every one has there own technique. If just research here on RIU As much as possible and pick your own route to try out

Thank you. But I'm guessing it's not ready to harvest yet?

Thank you. But I'm guessing it's not ready to harvest yet?

Probably not from the looks of the hairs. You really need to get yourself a magnifying glass or loupe or microscope and look closely at the trichomes. Those are great closeup shots you have there, but they aren't close enough. Look at this thread for more tips. https://www.rollitup.org/t/trichomes-harvesting.516184/
