Hi All!

I cut a few of my plants the other day. (2 days ago) How long do I hand the plants for? 1 - 2 weeks then cure in jars for 1 - 2 weeks??

Right now my cut plants are in the same room as my other growing plants..about to cut the rest soon.
Room specs: 72 - 80 degrees and 45% - 60% rh

Please advise.
Thanks!:leaf:

With 45-60 % humidity it should be fine, but closer to the 45 then the 60 would be better.
Temperature will be fine, 80 is starting to get a little warm though. I would also have a fan blowing circulating the air in the room if you don't. I usally run it so it's barely enough to see it move the buds hanging.
I usually see buds ready to go into jars or tupperwaree around 5-7 days, 6-7 being optimal.
At this time the buds are a little crispy wit ha consistent non spongy texture. The stems will usually crack or snap at this point.
When the buds first go in for the first 2 days I open them every hour or 2 for 5 minutes or so. Then after that usually 3-5 times a day for a week. While open it's a good idea to turn the buds so you don't get high moisture spots where buds are touching. After that just open when ever smoked or once every couple days for a minute..
If you ever notice a musty or basement smell look for grayish cobbweb like mold in the buds.

The bud cures until its smoked or bagged .

Good luck. :)
