Harvesting, drying and curing??

Im a few days away from my first harvest and would like to get a few ideas on what im doing. What are some of you guys way of curing drying and harvesting your plants?

There is an entire forum dedicated to harvesting and curing here on RIU, i would suggest reding through some of those threads. I usually shut the lights off a couple of days after the last watering, they stay off for 36 hours and then I cut. After manicuring I hang the budz until the stem 'snaps' when bent. I thrn seprate the budz and place them in an air-tight container and cure for at least a week. Curing is opening the lids on the containers for 1/2 hr every 6-8 hours to let the mositure escpe. Good Luck!

When i hang them does it have to be dark? And could i cure in a old pill bottle the small orange kind? if not would a pickle jar work? and where is this section for harvesting? I couldnt find it

Nothing beats the old cashing way hang ur branches upside-down on a line takes about six days at room temp for regular size buds then place loosely in mason jars for the first three days let the breathe for a few minutes a few times a day then for the next weak or so breathe once a day after this no need to breathe the longer u cure the better it will smell taste and smoke I cure for at least two weeks u wa8ed this long b patient it will pay off when drying check daily after four days buy bending stems u want them to crack but not sever if severed u dried to long

Yes it needs to be dark and ventilated. Hopefully you will have more to cure than what can fit into an Rx bottle. i would not suggest a pickle jar unless you want your budz to smell and taste of vinegar. Mason jars are cheap. Here is a link to the harvesting and curing forum.

Hang in dark light degrades thc pickle jar is gonna make ur buds smell bad if its an actual pickle jar nomatter how clean

That's one of my girls bout one week from harvest now

Even if i cleaned the jar with alcohol?

Yes even if cleaned with alcohol. You need fresh clean jars.

kdub why are you named kdub?

Look for Rumple's harvest in the harvest section. Follow it exactly and you will have perfectly cured buds at the end.
