It's Harvest time!

Found a couple amber crystals, so I cut her down.

First grow, first cut.

I removed the fan leaves. (the plant did most of that on her own during flowering!)

I removed the "sugar leaves" that were easily accessible..(I am supposed to, right?)

Did I remove enough? Or do I need to remove more?

You can leave them on or trim them off. After the bud is dry and you separate the nugs to go into the jars. You can trim any excess leaves then.

Personal preferences... Like you did now, would just be some pre-trim for me. Some say "I smoke everything, which got crystals", other say "I don't smoke anything green". For edibles this trimming would be enough for me, but for smoking and vaping, I prefer no leaves at all (it's more tasty). You have to choose what you like!

Congrats on your first grow, and happy medicating!

Thanks boss.
I'm picking away at the popcorn buds right now. It's helping me determine what's leaf and what's bud.

It's surprisingly hard to tell lol

Experience is your boss

I trimmed it a bit more and jarred it all just now.

Total harvest weight: 18g.

Im happy. Smells chronic, and the couple popcorn buds I smoked seemed better than the stuff I got from the dispensary. But I might be bias
