Plastic can be airtight but it’s a lot harder to get and maintain that airtight seal when the lid is closed. The most important thing about storing cannabis long term (year plus) is to maintain that air tight seal. If there is any air exchange at all the cannabis will dry out.

If the plants are mature when you move them outside you’ll want to wait until there is enough daylight to keep them in veg. If you put a mature plant out in April it will start to flower and then re-veg as the days get longer in May. You can use a light shining on you plants for a couple hours...

Wow beautiful plants and amazing yield. This demonstrates what it takes to grow a plant this big: 10 months. My outdoor runs with photoperiods go 5 - 6 months. Germinate seeds May 1st and harvest late September/October. I easily get 1lb plants. This year I ran a sativa dominate strain photo in...

I never understood the fear of death or the need people have for an afterlife. Obviously the experience of death will be exactly what it was like before we were born: you do not exist. This life is what we have and when it’s over that’s it.

I like the idea of drying the plant whole but leaving it upright like the OP was able to do to dry. When you hang a plant upside down the buds all become covered in the fresh limp leaves which then dry that way. As an outdoor grower though I couldn’t leave the plant in its caging outside in the...

Remember kids they don’t call them donkey dicks because they are big around an shaped like a dick. We call them donkey dicks because they are big around, shaped like a dick, and hang down to the ground because of their own weight just like a for real donkey dick does!

I am not one to bag on someone about their harvest timing, especially for us outdoor growers who can see a plant take a huge down turn overnight, but… If you’ve got good weather and no signs of rot, mold, or caterpillars give that plant another week. If in a weeks time she looks the same I’ll...

Interesting observations regarding neem oil. I use it but I stop after the plant starts flowering. It is very strong smelling and I can detect that it has been applied to a plant weeks after it’s been sprayed (heavy rain can impact this by reducing the smell). Honestly it isn’t very effective at...

Not the guy you were asking but leaving the plant intact (ie waiting to do a dry trim) helps to slow down the dry. It’s just more stuff there to dry out.

This is a part of any plants individual phenotype. I’ve had plants that developed potency very early on in flower. I’ve had other plants that looked to be at a similar stage but totally lacked potency.

When I have a harvest that nets me pounds I do the same as when I harvest much less. Store it in mason jars deep in a dark and cool closet. I also give away some along the way but if I have enough I’ll skip growing for a year or two.

Watch for rot and mold as both can spread quickly.

Those are the kind of prices that keep me growing!

Those must be some cool neighbors

Great thread! Really shows how waiting makes a difference. just compare the pics in the first post compared to those today. Not a huge change but the buds have definitely filled out and fattened up more. It also shows where waiting as long as possible is important, but if this where an outdoor...

The good ol two more weeks brigade. Obviously taking plants down too early is a common mistake but the harvest window is a lot bigger than some posters would have you believe.

You can definitely let a plant go too long. Especially outdoors with rain and weather you can lose a lot in just a day or two. And if the plant is an auto flower that isn’t very big if things go wrong you can easily lose the whole plant. Indoors you can take a plant a lot farther along.

Are there any lights on at night that could be shining onto the plant? I’ve heard of plants that are partially exposed to a light source at night only flowering where that light is blocked and doesn’t hit the plant. Sometimes a streetlight can be partially blocked by a fence or a house and when...

$50 ounces of mids or better and I’d never attempt/bother with a serious grow again. So that’s $800 for a pound. I enjoy growing but it is awfully stressful. If I could go to the corner store an get decent cannabis like you can pick up a carton of smokes that would be it for me.
