Lmao say way i hang it a jar

I personally hang the plants for 3 days, then cut all buds from the stalks and put on a drying screen for 3 more days, then jar it all. It always comes out perfect, only time I have gotten a hay smell was when I had to harvest early. Early harvested plants never seem to get the full smell it should have.

Cool man, that's a very good possibility I have only been growing for a couple years so I have a lot to learn and I am sometimes impatient. I will have to learn to be a little more patient. I gotta tell ya if it wasn't for this RIU forums I wouldn't know jack shit about growing, you guys have been great help. Thanks.

I have my drying rack hung by a fish scale. I weigh it wet do the calculation for 25% moisture and wait for the scale to reach that number. That is the point where I jar it and place it in a cool dark place and continue to burp.

Drying out too much is almost as bad as leaving too wet IMO

That is a very smart way of doing it and it makes alot of sence and I will diffinatly try that, but my question is where do you come up with 25%. Because my buds sure seem to shrink up more than that,lol, but I guess if that works for you then I will give it a go. Thanks man.

leaves are filled with chlorophyl.. that is the stuff that is evil.. smells like hay..

if you trim the leaves before the chlorophyl has evaporated, it will ooze all over the buds.. leaving them to smell like hay for all time...

its a pain in the ass, but wait until they are dry at least a few days before cutting the leaves..
