Harvest Time: A Tutorial

[fdd2blk]

curing is what happens once you seal the lid. you can dry your buds fully, then jar then. never burp them because they are dry enough already. and they will still cure while sitting on the shelf. think if it as simply "aging". like a fine wine.

i have buds in jars that are a year or two old. some had too much moisture left in it and it got kinda "tough". like cigar tobacco. it gets a musty smell to it as well.

So would you put a minimum time on curing for best quality? Not trying to waste your time but I am getting ready to harvest the best looking buds I have grown and want to get the best out of them.

no, i would put no minimum time on it.

to get a good cure in though id say 2-3eweeks at the least. a week is just not long enough

 

[bigv1976]

Yeah I ask because I read in a few different places that most of the THC becomes psycho active during the cure.

I posted here before, what happen to my post?

 

[Smokeeythebearr]

Oooh I just found it, anyways. So once I put the lids on the jars I should never burp throughout the 15 days I will be curing them? Doesn't that keep the moisture inside? Or should I make sure before I jar them that they are completely dry all the way through?

when i think they are within 2 weeks i start watering with plain water. that's my "flush".

If I may add something to this.. if you don't mind that is.

Your correct about the flowering time of a pure indica or mostly indica dominate strain.

I just wanted to let all of you know about the AK48 strain from Nirvana.. its a very Indica dominate strain (if not 100% Indica.. its close to it). I recently just harvested (2 weeks ago).. just harvested my AK48 plant. I was blown away at how short the flowering cycle really was. She finished in 7.5 weeks (4 days away from starting week #8 of flowering).. she's a very quick maturing strain. Very very very quick.. so for all those impatient growers around here.. this may be a strain that may interest you. Yield isn't all that great... but the smell is unbelievable and very potent and skunk type smell to it.

Just thought I would share that with everyone..

peace.

Not sure how old my baby is ?? but i'm trying to figure out when she's going to be ready ???? the smell is soo yummy i think she has a 5 ft stink radius , it's outdoors and i'm soo worried my mooch neighbours might find her, she's well hidden but getting skunkier by the day, its about 2-3 ft in height-
