(5,104 posts)until they develop very large bubs that swell with sticky THC-loaded resin. The trick is to let the harvest go as late as possible before the fall rains come in.
This because every bit of extra-time allows more resin to develop in the buds. These plants would get to 12 feet tall at maturity and are very sticky and fragrant. Like Christmas trees.
The danger was that the rains would ruin the harvest by inducing mold in freshly harvested plants. So always a risk.
But for best quality, waiting until a plant fully matures, produces the most "fruit."
Indoor plants are continually harvested. They are never grown from start to finish the way pure sativa plants are, but are rather kept small and continually harvested (which is possible due to the crosses made with indica plants).
Indica crosses work for the "industry," where growing sativa outdoors does not.
When people are ignorant and obnoxious, it isn't a good look.
