When it is time for the indoor weed crop to be harvested, the plants when flowering will have the lights at 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.  When the flowering process is completed stopping the watering approximately a week, will help to begin the harvest. The next step in harvesting is to remove the large fan leaves and discard them, because they are not smokeable leaves. The plants then can be placed in paper bags or shoe boxes to dry; they should be moved around daily to help the drying process and to keep them from becoming moldy. The cannabis drying process will take approximately three weeks until the buds are dried and ready to smoke.
