Yeah the pistels have started to turn brown and once they start to subside back to the bud I’m taking em out. I have tried the look at the trichromes method but just stick with my gut feeling.

Ok, stupid question here, from a coors light head. Does the plant keep growing after you clip the buds off like an apple tree after the you pull the apples off? Or does it totally die and you plant a new plant?

No question is a stupid question. :D
No bud picking here as it is a one shot deal. When the plants are ready I cut the steam at the base and then clip each branch and trim the leaves on each bud. I then hang all the branches from my homemade clothesline in a dark room to let them dry. You don't want to let them dry out completely but just to the stag to where they are kinda crunchy on the outside when you squeeze them with your fingers. I then clip each bud from the branches and place them in mason jars to cure. Curing takes about 4-6 weeks and is a process of maintaining the humidity levels in the jars by opening each one to breath and I also place these 62% humidity packs in each jar. I do it mostly as a hobby and give most of my crop to family and friends to enjoy.

yes,just like this and trimming buds is a tedious task.A couple years ago I trimmed up almost 15 lbs,I thought I would never get done

How do you know when it's time to cut the buds off of the plant?

Does anybody here wash their havest before drying? I used to submerge the plant in a solution of water, lemon juice, and baking soda to remove all of the impurities that stick to the plant while it was growing outside. Improves the look and taste after the cure too. Does .5-1.0 cup each of lemon juice baking soda to 5 gallons of water sound about right? It has been many years since I have grown any, but a friend gave me a couple plants already started as part of a project developing a new strain that is showing real promise.

I think most are growing inside in tents, hydroponically.

I would be up for growing, if I could find a place to extract it, and make gummies and brownies, then package it.

I don't smoke or use it but I think it is the most amazing smell on the planet. Smells like fresh baked cookies to me. I do think it is cool that you guys grow your own, In a legal area why would anyone buy it ?

I don't smoke , but I've always wanted to try and grow a plant or 2 . . . . but it seems like such a pain in the ass, and unless you're a weed-dork, it seems like a waste of time 7 you'll end up with bogus weed.

Way back I did the exact thing, I dont smoke but wanted to try my hand at it. It was pretty easy to be honest. I had 3 plants close to 8 feet tall,. Friends loved it. Must of had a pound by time all said and done. I just used info online. It is a weed. And its fairly hearty. I dunno. Never got into the smoking part of it.

Have you ever tried brewing your own beer, wine or shine? Its more like a hobby and while there are some potential savings, the cost and time is a labor of love. Its a lot harder than it looks. I have never succeeded with a plant beyond a really fun conversation piece in my indoor atrium.

Someone bought me one of those home brew kits for christmas one year....6 weeks or whatever to make 6 (big) bottles of beer. Fuck that. I like drinking beer, not making beer.
