Harvesting 101

Cannabis dries best hanging in a dark, slightly ventilated space at 16-21 degrees celcius.

As soon as the buds are dried you can remove the leaves of your Cannabis plants.

Dried Cannabis flowers are best stored in an air tight glass jar.

Cannabis needs to be harvested as soon as the flowers are matured.

When all the calyx have swollen and the resin glands are almost popping, you know it is time to harvest your Cannabis plants soon.

You will need a strong pair of gardeners scissors to cut the side branches of the main stem. (pic.01)

Some people cut of the biggest leaves at this point, but I like to wait about 4-6 days before I cut those leaves to retain a bit more moisture inside my plants.

Keep the room dark and slightly ventilated, and allow the plants to hang there untill they are dried completely.

Every day you need to check up on your drying plants and try to bend some of the stems.

During the first days the stems will easily bend due to the high moistre content, but as the plants dry they will show more resistance when bend.

Eventually, up to 14 days of drying later, you will notice that the stems snap and break instead of just bending.

As soon as most stems snap your plants are dry enough to start cleaning of all the remaining leaves, even the smaller ones (pic.02) because they dont taste nice.

Although for a better tasting, smoother smoking Cannabis you might want to give your plants another few days of drying after re-hydrating.

More information can be found on the "Drying Cannabis" page.

Do not throw the smaller leaves away, most of them will have some sticky THC resin on them that can be extracted later.

Now that the buds are cleaned and removed from their stems you can store them for later use.

Cannabis buds are best stored in airtight glass jars, these do not affect the taste like some plastic containers tend to.

Keep your jar in a cool and dark place like a cupboard, light will slowly affect your dried Cannabis and deteriorate its quality.
