When and How to Harvest

Signs of Harvest Readiness

  • Most trichomes are cloudy/amber (60-70% cloudy)
  • Pistils have darkened and curled back
  • Buds are dense and sticky

Harvesting Equipment

Use sharp scissors or pruning shears. Wear latex gloves to protect your skin.

Flushing Before Harvest

Two weeks before harvest, stop feeding nutrients. Flush with plain water to remove excess salts.

Post-Harvest Steps

After cutting, begin the drying and curing process immediately.
