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.

The spare-room hang finished in a couple of days after the furnace kicked on, and it smells like hay. The outdoor flower didn't have to fail. The room dried it.
Plants are still outside in late October. Detroit's week runs from a 44-degree night to 75 on Thursday, and that split feeds mold and frost on one crop.
Why an outdoor cannabis plant grows fresh leaves late in flower, how porch or hoop-house light breaks its dark period, and what partial reveg looks like.
Skinny towers growing from an outdoor cannabis bud are called foxtails. Learn when genetics, heat, light, or re-veg may be behind the shape.
Does 48 hours of darkness before chop raise cannabis resin or THC? The evidence is thin. Here is what the claim misses, especially during a Michigan fall.
Five cure methods show up the week the hang comes down. A humid Michigan October can carry some of them. Here is the real menu for mold risk and smell.
A hole in an outdoor Michigan bud at chop means a caterpillar already ate inside. Frass, those crumbs, is why that cola stays out of the jar. Open the bud.
Does plain-water flushing before harvest make cannabis smoother or cleaner? Here is what studies, ash color, and safety tests actually show.
Some menus charge extra for purple flower and credit cold nights. Detroit's October low is 44°F, and cool air only colors plants with the genes. Read the label.
