Harvest Time: A Tutorial

Hello, what do you do with the little ones that dont really have a stem? I usually lay them down on a screen. But this bothers me. I dont like the wet resin really touching anything?
i throw them in a cardboard box. one of those trays that a flat of soda comes in. it's just a flat bottom with a 2 inch lip. i turn everything daily so it dries evenly.


good question. :joint::joint::joint::joint:

hey you probably answered this already. But i just jarred all my buds yesterday. Check the jar 24 hours later and they are still dry. Should i just leave them in the jars until they get moist again? I had them hanging for 8 days. Buds were dry but stem could still bend.

Also, do you stuff the jars with the bud or just let them gently fill the jar? know what i mean?

yes, keep it in the jars. i fill the jars but do not stuff it. i fill it halfway and shake it a little to get it to fill in all the empty spots then fill it to the top. i leave just enough empty space that it isn't mashed together.

fdd, I read the entire thread and I'm pretty sure this hasn't been fully addressed. I'm doing an organic grow for my daughter. I am her California State Health Dept. registered primary caregiver. She has a lot of pain from her TMJ and MMJ helps her deal with the pain. The only thing is that she can tend to get very paranoid. This has to do with trimming the buds. I read somewhere that CBD's are on the "sugar leaves" in greater quantity than THC. That's the reason most people cut them off. But, CBD's have been proven to work with THC to bolster it's medical effects while moderating its psychoactivity. "CBD is thought to have anti-psychotic effects, dampening anxiety and panic reactions to THC" <-----Medical Marijuana Handbook. For long time smokers this usually isn't a problem but wouldn't it be worth considering leaving a little bit more leaf?

here's my take:

leaf tastes nasty, so i trim off as much as i can.
the leaf contains more CBD's because it ripens first. you will see amber trichs on the outer edges of the leaves, then they ripen inward towards the calyxes.
for some "heavy" smoke, let it go until it's fully ripened. let it go until you think it's past done, then let it go some more. :hump:

that's what i think. bongsmilie

yes trichomes on the outer edges are more exposed to heat light air etc so they degrade quicker to cbd which is why hashes and extracts tend to have high cbd/thc ratio as most people make hash out of trim. i love high cbd strains as they reduce anxiety and let you sleep i put extracts on top of bud to raise cbd for sleeping. i also wonder with hash and bud if the thc continues to break down to cbd after the harvest or the hash is made or if it stops at the point of harvest.
