Hydration

The most imortant thing I've found about harvest time is to harvest a fully hydrated plant.If you harvest when the plant is dehydrated,it will dry too fast and probably be harsh.On the other hand,a fully hydrated plant takes a few weeks to be really ready for harvest,the taste is as smooth and powerful as you can imagine.Just my two cents on the importance of exactly when to cut and the imprtance of hydration.One other thing.Hanging a recently cut fully hydrated plant requires a dehumidier set to 45-50 percent so bud rot doesnt set in.This is a very rare occurance and a non-occurance when a dehumidifier is used

I agree on the hydrated plant thing, just lost one due to moving to a clearing tub the same day i lost (and didn't notice like a dumbass) the oscillating of my fan. So it sat trained on the one plant for at least 24 hours, dried it so much that when i took it down i stuck it straight into a jar. However i live in Colorado, and at no point in the last 12 years have i needed a dehumidifier for anything. I can dry a bud to crispy dry in the air, not proper but when you want to smoke it works out well.

If I lived somewhere extremely dry I buy a humidor for my buds the size of a volkswagon!Actually I lived in Colorado Springs for about three years about 10 years ago..I still havent dethawed and I now live in Fla!
