Farming & Process follows the plant after the soil is set: Michigan frost dates and hoop houses, harvest timing (trichomes, pistils, late-summer weather), curing for terpene retention, beneficial-insect IPM, and seed-to-smoke days on the Detroit farm. Posts in this bucket include farming on Michigan time, when sun-grown cannabis is ready, the two curing essays, beneficial insects, and the mid-summer harvest preview. This is process writing — what happens in the field and the dry room — not a lab-results page. Cultivation & Soil covers the underground biology. Products & How-To covers jars, pre-rolls, and concentrates after the cure. Shop and shipping stay on their own URLs.

Wet trim cuts sugar leaves while the plant is wet. Dry trim waits until after the hang. Why that timing changes a Michigan September jar.
The last stalk is on the hang. Bees are still on the clover. After a Michigan harvest, pollinator habitat is the IPM job that starts when the crop is gone.
Two Michigan jars, same THC. One pine, one hay. Glacial till, lakeshore sand, and clay change water and minerals, and that can change the smoke.
Michigan tap and a cannabis jar share a watershed. Here's how EGLE rules, wells vs city water, and CRA metals tests show up in flower.
Cut week leaves the beds looking empty. In Michigan, that bare look is the expensive one. Here's how living soil rests through winter.
Harvest week is not jar week. How Detroit shoppers read September menus, COA dates, and why indoor still fills the counter while outdoor flower hangs.
What Sun+Earth, Clean Green, and USDA Organic cannabis seals actually audit — and how a Detroit shopper tells a farm seal from a Michigan CRA lab test.
Drying is the hang step after harvest. Learn dry-room temp, humidity, wet vs dry trim, and how Michigan humidity decides whether terpenes survive.
Michigan outdoor cannabis runs on frost dates and day length. Hoop houses buy weeks, not a California season. Here's what that means for Detroit flower.
