Okay, first off you need to be looking at the pistils, or hairs, on the buds. when you see about 70% of them change from white or amberish color to orange, red, brown or whatever; that's when you cut them. thus "harvesting"

After you cut them at the bottom of the stem, you want to cure them. to do so, hang them upside down in a closet or something, where you can control the air by closing it off, keep the door mostly shut for a day and them move it out a bit each day. after like a few days of that, you might want to cut the branches from the stem and hang them in a cardboard box until dry.

*note* cut them either earlier-for a more cerebral high- or a little later-for the couch lock effect high.
311junkie Reviewed by 311junkie on . When to harvest??? i am so confused on the whole When to harvest question..... in the marijuana growers handbook indoor/greenhouse edition by ed rosenthal it sais to wait till you see 80% or so of those white hairs turn brown then it's mature to harvest... but that is like at 6 weeks or so with my indica and everybody is talking about 8 weeks of flowering not 6 weeks so should i pick when 80% of hairs are brown or just leave it till their all brown and keep it going to grow bigger and bigger for 8 weeks or Rating: 5
