Harvest Time: A Tutorial

And as for tha dark period i guess it dosent hurt to experimrnt but i have done it in tha past and dint see any real significant results if ur dying hydro it would b a good time to dry for a better cure? I would guess..

I just started a thread asking if mine were ready moments ago then found yours, VERY HELPFUL

How long do they have to hang?

Why do you cut them into little nugs? I do that if i'm keeping the harvest for personal. But i discovered that the dispensaries like to buy giant nugs.

Hey, if someone wants to pay for the big stems in the middle of the giant nugs, let them!

do you have any plce to go to learn how to make the hash I have been all over..nice buds for sure mines budding now about 3 more weeks and done also do you flush your plants if so when?

I heard it is best to leave the fan leaves and sugar leaves on until it is time to cure? making for a longer, cleaner drying process... is this true?

When I hang my buds,wut is the ideal environment?

Wow what a great thread. I have been searching google for how to harvest and this is far the best. thank you

Mi want to use clothes hanger to hang dem out ??

Can you tell me please, Once you've trimmed the leaves and are now ready for drying does the room have to be dark?? i know when you put them into jars it has to be cool and dark but just dont know wether it has to be dark when your hanging and drying? thank you

Thanks for the great info!

How long does the hanging procedure take? How long will the jar curing typically take? I know it'll differ based on prefrence, but was just wondering

this i am also curious, i heard it degrades thc while drying and curing when it recieves light
if true does it degrade the thc after the buds r dry? ty

yep, dark. for dry and jar. Get a big box like one that had a new tv in it work perfectly. Run some string across it about 75% height. instant dryer and jaring place

I've been curing for two weeks now. I open my jars for hours on end watching the hygrometer. Every time I hit 60% I put the lid on for the night. They were crunchy when they started going in one gallon jars. My problem is and has been for years that I am unable to be rid of the hay/ grass smell. They are sour diesel and crystal throttle. Any help would be much appreciated. It's a good size personal crop that I would love to enjoy the raw aroma of these strains.

They are fully manicured prior to going in jars by the way

if you have been curing for 2 weeks you shouldnt be burping for "hours on end"...the grass/hay smell goes away after a long proper cure
