When To Harvest Your Weed
What are the factors which determine the harvesting time of marijuana?
The best time to harvest marijuana plant depends upon several factors. Indoor plants usually ready after 12-14 weeks of time. The harvest of indoor plants can be easily controlled by artificial lights. Growers decrease light after 4-6 week period to 12 hours daily which causes flowering in plants. The flowering process continues for 8-10 weeks and then it is the time to harvest the crop. Contrary to this, outdoor growing is less controllable. The time of harvest also depends upon the variety of marijuana plants chosen by grower as well as the position of sun. When the days are shorter, flowering begins and after 7-10 weeks the plant gets ready for harvesting. The position of sun depends on which part of the world are you located. Normally in northern Hemisphere of the earth, the harvest is ready between September and November.

Remove all the leaves from the plants and leave only the buds. Hand the plants upside down from a wire in a cool dark place. The place should have air-circulation. Buds which are forcibly dried have some harsh ‘green’ taste as they retain their chlorophyll. Allow the plants to dry naturally and check it after 4-6 days so that they dry completely on their own. One can check the dryness by squeezing the buds between one’s fingers and thumb. If the buds are dry, seal them in a moisture proof bag or jar. Allow the buds to breathe for the next few days for 10-15 minutes. This will ensure that all the moisture is removed from the buds. After complete drying the buds will have a smooth and sweet taste.
