If your stems snap when you bend them then your buds are dry and ready for curing.
Curing is the last process of the grow. It allows the smoke to smooth out and taste better. Bud that is harsh to smoke right after drying will many times mellow out with time.
If you haven't trimmed the buds go ahead and do the dirty deed.
I cure my bud in the classic glass jars used for canning. Any brand will work fine.
So now we have watched the trichromes and decided it is time to cut our babies.
I use some gardening shears and just cut them off at the base. Once I cut all the plants I turn off the pump and let the roots dry out. That way it is not so messy with wet slimy roots everywhere.
You have two options with the plants.
1) Hang the plants to dry and trim the buds later.
Advantage: Hanging them up allows the maximum drying time. This allows the plants
