A Quick Guide to Harvesting Your Cannabis Crop | LTD Trimming

 After months of hard effort and labour, the moment has finally come to harvest your plants. There are many alternative methods for cultivating cannabis flower with Weed Trimming Scissors, but regardless of the method you select, each cultivator must go through four stages:

• Harvesting

• Trimming

• Drying

• Curing

In this essay, we will go through the fundamentals of harvesting and what it comprises.

WHEN SHOULD YOU HARVEST YOUR PLANTS?

It's critical to drain your plants of nutrients and fertiliser around two weeks before harvesting. The process of steadily adding excess water to your soil and washing away the leftover nutrients is known as flushing. After this stage, make sure you're not adding any more nutrients or fertiliser to your soil.

When that time has gone and your cannabis trichomes have fully matured, it is time to chop your plant down! Begin removing leaves and trimming individual branches from the main stem. Use a scale to determine the moist weight of your harvest after cutting. Weighing your strains before and after curing allows you to track yields. While harvesting, inspect your plants for fungus and bugs and discard of any contaminated materials promptly.

HOW TO TRIM & DRY

After you've cut your main stems and cleansed your branches of leaves, it's time to hang and dry them. The most typical drying method is to hang your branches upside down in a well-ventilated area until they're dry. It is critical to set the right temperature and humidity levels in your drying room during the drying process. Most experts recommend a temperature of 55° - 65° F and a humidity of 40% - 50%, with a drying duration of 1 - 2 weeks.

Because each strain dries differently and not everyone has the same dry room circumstances, inspecting your branches for evidence of good drying is generally the best way.

Trim the leaves surrounding your buds on each branch with
Trimming Scissors For Weed. Continue to divide your larger branches into smaller parts and remove leaves until just the flower buds and bare stem remain. Finally, remove any larf and superfluous stems from your buds. Trimming can be a time-consuming operation, so make sure you have a dependable set of gloves, Trimming Scissors For Weed, and a trim bucket to get you through it. When your Trimming Scissors For Weed start sticking together, you can clean them with 70% - 99% isopropyl alcohol.

HEALING YOUR BUDS

Curing is the final and possibly most critical phase in the harvesting process with Weed Trimming Scissors, especially if your bud will be sold in a retail location. Curing your cannabis buds properly minimises further moisture loss while also protecting the terpenes for longer term storage. Flowers are cured by placing buds in tightly sealed containers and burping them on a daily basis. The type of sealed container utilised (glass jars, turkey bags, etc.) will have an immediate impact on the curing process, so don't assume that your cure strategy for one container type will work perfectly on another.

Because cannabis cure time varies so considerably, it's difficult to say how long you should cure your flower; some strains require a few weeks, while others take much longer. Pressing a little nugget between your fingers and examining the pressure needed to push + how the bud reacts once pressure is removed is an easy way to assess if buds are fully cured. Ideally, pressing should require some pressure and should recover to near-form once pressure is removed. You don't want the bud to feel damp and remain a squished-like shape after pressing.

This is only a high-level summary of the cannabis harvesting process; there are several details to cover at each stage. Harvesting isn't as simple as "cutting down the plant," as any cultivator knows. A harvest requires a lot of long-term preparation, effort, and data recording.
