Cutting Your Buds Away from the Main Stalk to Dry!

I thought lacing them in the stalk promotes the thc in the stem to soak more into the buds? Is that false?

So are you saying when trimming take the buds off completely from the stem put them on a drying screen for a few days then jar them up for a few days open let it sit out and jar up again? And this will make sure no hay smell?

Sort of but not quite you are missing a pretty neccessary step and that is when you first go to your jar for the 24 hours when you open that jar again some of the moisture will have returned and this is when judgement take over if it seems that they are a lil to moist once again you need to do at least 8- 12 hours of out of jar drying again then rejar and check once again you may have to do the 12 hour shifts about two oro three times before you feel safe to store your buds free of mold chances..

Mine typically goes like this:

Day one after 48 hours dark and good flush! Chop all buds from main stalks they should all be around quater size nugs or a lil larger..Place them on screen and turn on your small circulating fan on low and pointed away from the buds..
Let them dry until they are crunchy outside
once you get to this point you can began the jar cure or as i call it the pre cure because the buds although they seem very dry will still maore then likely contain some moisture..
leave them in the jar for 24 hours and open to check moisture if the moisture has returned then leave them out for anywhere between 8-12 hours and then return to jar for the next 12 or 16 hours do this each day for maybe 4 days and once you are sure they are dry enough not to risk mold then go about your cureiong as you wish i let mine go for maybe a few days just opening once a day for maybe a 1/2 hour or so and then i leave them alone for good...

Ive heard a lot of things here i take a lot of them with a grain of salt until i run my own trail and error as i have with this...But one thing to remember if you are feeding your girls nothing but water and flushing good over her last 10 nto 14 days then what do we need the stalk for..?
