## Resource

In this week’s Grow Guides, episode 84, we cover some key techniques that can take your grow from decent to dialled in properly. We start with how to preserve terpenes, looking at what actually causes terpene loss and how to protect those flavours and aromas right through harvest, drying, and curing. Then we break down how to calculate electricity costs, helping you understand exactly what your grow is costing you to run, and where you might be able to save a bit of cash without sacrificing quality. We also dive into advanced harvest timing, going beyond the basics and discussing how to choose the perfect moment to chop based on desired effects, trichome development, and plant maturity. To finish things off, we talk about dialling in the perfect grow environment, covering the balance between temperature, humidity, airflow, and VPD to create the ideal conditions for healthy, high-yielding plants. A solid, practical episode packed with tips that can improve both the quality of your harvest and the efficiency of your grow room.
