Post-Harvest Possibilities – What to Do With Your Cannabis

Once it’s dried, cured, and stored… what now? This stage explores the many creative, medicinal, and recreational ways you can transform your homegrown cannabis into products and experiences that match your lifestyle and goals.

1. Smoke or Vape It

Category: Consumption

  • Roll a joint, pack a pipe, or use a dry herb vaporizer.
  • Vaping preserves terpenes and is easier on the lungs.
  • Experiment with temperatures to explore flavor profiles.

2. Infuse It Into Edibles

Category: Edibles

  • Make cannabutter or cannaoil using low-temp decarboxylation.
  • Bake cookies, brownies, gummies, or savory meals.
  • Label everything with potency! Edibles hit harder and last longer.

3. Extract Oils or Tinctures

Category: Concentrates & Wellness

  • Use alcohol or oils to create tinctures or RSO (Rick Simpson Oil).
  • Make topicals for localized pain relief.
  • Use CBD-dominant strains for non-psychoactive wellness.

4. Create Artisanal Products

Category: DIY Projects

  • Make CBD bath bombs, soothing balms, or cannabis candles.
  • Craft gifts with a personal touch.
  • Blend in essential oils or other botanicals.

5. Experiment with Hash, Rosin & More

Category: Solventless Concentrates

  • Try making bubble hash, dry sift, or rosin with a press.
  • Solventless methods = pure, flavorful concentrates.
  • Requires more plant material and practice but rewarding.

6. Store It, Share It, Study It

Category: Long-Term Storage & Use

  • Vacuum seal or jar with Boveda packs for long-term storage.
  • Log effects, flavors, and uses in your Grow Journal.
  • Share responsibly with friends or within medical communities (where legal).
