If you joined us in the spring to learn how to grow your own cannabis at home, you know by now that cultivating leafy green plants is only half the experience.
Fall is cannabis harvest season for hobby and commercial growers who specialize in outdoor cultivation. Trust us, you’re going to want some gloves for this. among commercial outdoor growers because it’s that special time of year when marijuana is ready for harvest. The same goes for homegrown plants.
The weather where you live may also play into the timeline for harvest. Owens said to get those crops down before the first freeze or risk damaging the buds.Both recently spoke with The Denver Post to share Croptober expertise that will help beginners make the most of harvest season.Be warned: Harvesting cannabis is a sticky job. Therefore, you’ll want dedicated tools, clothing and spaces at your home to complete the task.
Roby said to start by snipping branches from the top of each plant below where two stems meet so there’s a “V” that will hang on each side of a hanger. Often commercial growers, like Fat Face Farms , will chop down the whole plant to dry. For home growers, it might be better to cut and hang dry individual branches. As you put your buddy branches on hangers, remove the fan leaves, meaning the big, five- or seven-finger leaves with long stems.
How closely or “aggressively” to trim varies between growers. While most marijuana sold in dispensaries has been trimmed to remove all leaves, Roby and Owens said keeping some leaves, known as sugar leaves, helps save time and preserve the terpenes, aroma and flavor long term. “Open and let it sit there for a few minutes to allow fresh air to come into the jar and moist air to be released,” he said.Once the burping period is over, keep your flower in closed containers until you’re ready to smoke it. Both Roby and Ownes suggested having one jar that’s accessible for your near-term consumption needs and letting the other sit for a while in a cool dark place.“Your cannabis is ready to smoke two weeks after harvest.
These kinds of treatments are controversial in the growing community, but Owens speaks from experience when he says they can save your crop.
