For what it's worth, mine dried fast and got a bit crispy, too. Mine also crashed fast during flush. Yours?
By crash do you mean the leaves started to get yellow and droppy? Mine took the flush pretty well, one plant just looked horriblebut the buds were fantastic so I knew it was time to cut. The other plant held its leaves pretty well during the flush but I knew it was time to cut.

Thanks for the reply everyone. I'm going to try and Jar these tonight or tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that they DO get crispy and eventually get moist again when you jar them...

So ill trim these fuckers tonight or tomorrow and throw em in a jar. Feeling much better cause I thought I fucked this grow up!

It sometimes happens that people over-dry. Basically if your bud turns into powder when you break it up you have gone too far. Keep them in jars and the moisture will work out from the inside. curing, is just a method of slowing down the last 10-15% of drying to bring out potency and definitely flavor. It is more common that people under dry than over, I am sure you will be fine, just get them in jars and let them sweat.

Thank you all for the feedback on my drying/harvesting. Saved my ass after I thought I over-dried the plants.

They look great, all trimmed, and sitting in jars now

TOTAL WEIGHT: 72g or 2.5oz

Not bad for my first time and for 2 plants. I'm satisfied!

I would say Top 44 is a easy plant to grow for first timers. I was lucky to get a little over an Ounce per plant and for it to turn out so well. The quality of the plant isn't bad but I probably wouldn't grow it again since I'm through my first grow.

As for the Hempy Bucket method....I would say this was a REALLY REALLY easy method to grow. Now, I really don't have any grounding to really say this, since this is the only method I've grown from but what I can tell you is once I got the hang of it, it was virtually work free. I would basically prepare my water (nutes, ph...ect) and water the plants every 3-4 days. Every 3rd or 4th watering I would usually flush with plain water, then give it a light feed of nutes. From what I've read from other posts is even experienced growers who've used Hydroponic systems say Hempy is the way to go and the easiest to maintain. So thats my rant on Hempy Bucket, I would recomend it to anyone who hasn't tried it, saved me a LOT of money and the plant turned out great for a first grow (just check out the pics!)


I want to thank everyone who read this thread during my grow and gave feedback. I probably wouldn't have been able to sustain such a good grow without all the feedback and advice, so again, thank you!

I'll be in and out checking this thread, so feel free to ask any questions. Below are some pictures of the cuttings and final bud. I'll give a smoke report in about a month or so

WTG, CC. Next time you'll have to get some spring-loaded scissors so you don't get a cramp trimming up the massive load you are going to get now that you have hempy down. Plus rep.
