looks good, Grn! congrats on making it!

i agree, i would manicure those buds a little tighter.

gotta dry your leaves too or they will mold and rot.... should be ok if you just flip em around periodically though.... usually, my leaf "curing" method means tossing them loosely in a paper bag :D hash oil is what i always use all my not bud matter for.

the type of jars you are looking for are called Mason Jars... that should make finding them easier.... our grocery stores carry them here by the case.... but i live in the South.

having a little extra leaf in the drying process is ok because it helps protect the trichs from exposed sunlight and heat. But you will wanna eventually get them off because itll make for a much harsher smoke.

you should not be exposing your bud to any kind of light - including sunlight and/or heat during the drying process.

I read something about what he's referring to. Not totally sure if it was to protect from elements like that, but maybe so. I'll need to read through that chapter again.

The buds seem to be drying out fine. The main bud at the top looks as if it has already begun to shrink up. I haven't seen any mold on them other then what looks like "bruising" on the stem, where it was cut - is that mold? My temps and humidity have been staying pretty stable. Temps level out anywhere from 73-77 and RH at 47-50 percent.They have been drying since Friday, so hopefully in a couple days the buds will be ready to go in the mason jars.

I'll try and get some pics up for you guys, cough...cough..THC, as soon as possible. ;)

totally, but light will weasel its way in, some ppl like to have a little bit of cushion with some leafs around their bud until cure. Either way, plus itll keep it a tad bit more moist so you can dry it for a bit longer.

not necessarily, you can always use some foil or mylar or something light proof to completely block out the light. I've been trimming my buds completely before I start drying and it works fine but I'm sure it would work fine either way, to each is own I guess.

yeah but you always wanna get as much chlorophyll out as possible, thats why alot of ppl will dry for a day, the wrap their bud in a plastic bag turned inside out to re moisten, then dry again, and continue the process, makes for a much better cure.

wouldn't that method work better using a paper bag instead of plastic?

thats the whole reason you turn the plastic inside out :D
don't want to start an argument with you but plastic is bad - inside out - right side in - upside down - doesn't matter. once trichomes get rubbed off onto plastic ... ain't no getting them off.

and here again - there is far more chlorophyll in the leaves than the bud - so removing excess leaves is better all the way around. you can always slow down the drying process - you can't make leaf taste good.
