Well then I am learning. Because I said just that. That it could be a month. Here is the plant last night. She's a ways out yet from harvest I agree. Really finding it hard to see through that scope. Just such a tiny area you re dealing with compared to the overall plant.
Here is a pic I took of the entire plants last night.
This girl is as green as grass!!

watercuring is an uncommon method of curing commonly used for buds that are chemmy tasting, and yes , it will make it smell less ( preferable for some). You basically are using water to do the cure instead of a closed jar, both work in the same way, but have way different outcomes. Water is absorbing the bad stuff instead of the air in the jar, here is a pretty good article on how water curing works http://www.growweedeasy.com/water-curing-how-to

Not quite!
2 more weeks at least.
That's where mine were 3 weeks ago.
This is 3 days ago:
60 days in flower today, Friday will probably be the day.

I trim as much as possible before I cut anything.
Cut the plant into manageable branches and hang them in a dark fairly dry place with good circulation.
After they're hung finish trimming anything you can because as the plant dries, any remaining leaf wraps itself onto the bud and is harder to remove without disturbing the bud.
Let it hang until the outside leaf is JUST getting crunchy.
That's when I jar it.

bump for an answer to my question on the last page
You really need to read from the start.
You hang your plant for a few days until it feels dry, then you pop the buds into a jar. But you really do need to read the opening thread to do this method properly.

thanks. but what I was asking this guy was if he literally just cuts the buds down and puts them in jars with no dry?!!
Which leads to my experience. I'm finding that if I wait for the stem to 'snap' as it's bent it's too dry. So I'm jarring the buds while the stem is still a little green. I don't know how accurate my mini hygrometers are but the moisture is never over 60% despite moisture in the stems. They seem to get to the 55% mark & stabilise within a day or two. So all I do then is burp the jars. Is this happening a bit quick or is it a result of ideal ambient humidity levels?
Nuances can be lost in print. Yeah the thought of not drying first.....quick way to ruin good bud.thanks. but what I was asking this guy was if he literally just cuts the buds down and puts them in jars with no dry?!!
I met this bloke who told me 'his method' was basically dry in the jar. "All I do is open the jar every day & move the buds around." Obviously he'd never dried bud this way. He must've read this method on a forum & misunderstood the instructions. One of Nevaehs friends I think hahaha
