the bud should be pretty die be4 u put it in jars and wen u seal off the jar it brings the moisture from the inside out so wen they feel wet again u need to open the jar for a few hours till they dry out and continue untill u get it wur u want it...some like crispy dry some like gooey it all depends

When you keep your trim to make Hash, do you keep any of the fan leaves? Also, do you let all your trim dry before making bubble bag hash or can you do it with moist trim?

most people let the trim dry because it is easier to seperate from the trim and no fan leaves arent goin to help make hash only the trim that is littered in trichs...i cut off all fan leaves first trash them then keep my trim

I know it's small for a 60 day flower but i have kept up with all the dates and all

from experienc eyou CAN flower plants as long as u want to... by giving them LESS light than another plant in same room...
i have had floweering plants for over 4 months... just dont give them light and they slow down

i dont think its a greta idea but sometime si have to leave for vacation and some plants are too far from light and just stunt

ok so i'm about to harvest in a week or two but i have a lil problem. don't really have anymore space to hang except in the room where i'm growing. temps are always around 78-82 and RH around 38-53. I have a closet in there but i cover the door with black and white poly and i'm thinking the temp and RH will only increase in there. hoping some of you smart and creative ppl out there have a few ideas for the kid, much obliged :-)

Great tutorial for this first-time grower. I REALLY appreciate your easy step-by-step instructions. The pictures were really helpful - especially the first 4. Today I learned that my grow isn't ready to be harvested. Thanks.

Me too, learned mine wasn't ready. But I harvested 2 days ago. Oh!
Nah, it's OK, first indoors, I knew 6 wks. flow. was too short, but I am hankering to get my special indic. in the flow. closet. I will say that outside, I never got buds as fat and long as the babies I got inside, same seeds. It is really great to have the tutorial, live and learn. When I first tried this outside in about '77, I threw away the females because the males looked so gaudy. haha. Then I bought a book which showed a male, and I said "oops".

now we wait.......

i like to let the outside of the bud get crispy but not the stem. i like to start the cure with the stems still bendy. i let the bud dry until it is smokable. if i can smoke a doobie and it stays lit yet the stems still bend without snapping then i know i am at the perfect time. i cut all my large branches and buds down to small nuggies.........

once cut down it goes into jars. the jars are then sealed and placed in a cool dark room. i let them sit over-night. the next day i take the jars from the dark room and open them. the bud should be wet again. if it is extremely wet i dump it out for a day. if it is moist but not damp then i simply leave the lid open for the day. at the end of the day i close the lid and start over. i continue to do this until the bud has reached the moisture level that i so desire. some like dry crispy buds, others prefer them gooey. once you have reached the moisture level you desire you can seal the jar and store. the longer stored the more the bud will cure. i like to leave mine on the somewhat moist side because it dries a little every time i open the jar to remove some. by the time i get to the bottom it is usually crispy.
