Man if I could only find someone who I like who smokes. I am not kidding. My ex is a fucking prude when it comes to that shit. I always hated her for that and she always hated me for medicating. Fucking bitch. I have been wishing terminal illnesses upon her as of late. Dont think for a second that I dont mean that shit either. I love you guys. You all are keeping me alive these days.

Here's my mycelium start. I haven't added any to o the soil yet as I was tilling it while it cooked. A couple more days and it should be ready to brew. The babies were showing some yellowing of the first true leaves so I went ahead and put them in the big pots. Crappy as they may be. I'll just place them in better cloth pots and cut the old ones out. I also couldn't Stand to keep fucking with those cfls anymore so in went the 1000 watt mh. Just decided to keep it high to encourage a little stretch.

You deserve a good level gal, she's out there too. Just gotta give it all time man... Time. That thing that goes too fast when it shouldn't, and too slow at the worst moments.

Hey, rookie question. My last batch ended up smelling like hay and not tasting much better, I thought this was from not giving a dark period before chopping and light during the drying process. On my current batch I gave over 24 hours dark before chopping and have had them in the tent for a week. As of today the wonderful stink I had is gone and now I have this hay like smell again... What am I doing wrong?

either dried too fast or not dried enough when buds were put into a jar.

I agree with Hyroot, but it seems weird that it would do this during the dark period. I've been cautious of trying it for reasons such as this, I'm afraid of molds and other issues :\

were they bone dry going into the dark? Read about medmans shock ripening. Not saying it works but it seems more logical then just dark period.

By the sounds of it you have too much leaf on the bud. Dry leaves smell like straw. Give the bud a manicure right up to the calyx, every leaf off including the frosty ones. A day later and you should smell good bud.

Haha you guys are funny. I've had hay Snelling stuff, they say it's the chlorophyll, I do long dry times w no issues no longer. I even just cut some bud off and put it outside for 3 weeks. It's been froze and I'm unsure what I want to do whether keep it going or defrost and see what happens, it was my dad's idea and I can say they look great but hope I didn't harm my thc.

I agree with this completely.

I didn't trim 100%... I cut all fan leaves and big/easily cut ones as well, leaving some in the larger bud areas so i wouldn't screw with them. Also I thought removing all leaf had a negative effect on the bud?? I know its kinda flimsy info but it was brought up in a documentary I watched.

Def not drying too fast, I'm drying in a cooler area which i read will slow down the drying process and gives better results. I'm on my eighth day since chopping and they're still slightly moist to the touch. They haven't hit jars yet, think they need a few more days...

I clearly don't give enough rep elsewhere... I am still unable to pass rep around this thread.

Now that the perv myco is away we can talk dank

Wonder, I'm wondering how you dried. You really should save that wonderful trim and get a set of some bubble bags!

Any of you greenthumbs trim after drying?

Gand, this Cornerstone is oh so sweet n sour smelling! She stretched at least 2x. I had to tie her up and supercrop some branches to match the bushy canopy. I know she's going to be as special as May. I would love to give you a good thankin spankin :O

Nah the leaves have MUCH lower amounts of cannabinoid even when frosted. By weight they contain astronomical amounts of chlorophyll and hormones and enzymes, all sorts of stuff that smells and tastes weird. Leaves are for concentrates

The smell is definitely leaf, you do get some types where you can get away with hardly trimming but mostly give it a close shave.

Red, I trim dry. You can't get it as clean and neat trimming wet in my opinion. Gets sticky and messy too. Adds a day or two to the drying, and I dry entire trees unteimmed so the stalks add two more days, ten to 14 days slow dry... Then trim, then cure...

I admire your patience and hard work Ham. You must have a construction crew for that kind of trim job. I agree with a slow even dry...gotta be some stank dank! Wouldn't expect anything else brah.

Here's my stretchy Cornerstone. Apologies for the brutal photography. I can't even see where I tied her down Also, some Blood Orange that looks like a peacock trying to hug the bulb...super tight nodes.

What are you wondering about my drying?

I do keep my trim, I don't have the bags though... I made some oil with my last trimmings but I'd really like to start making hash.

Just wanted to know how long you dried and how. If you want to know all about great hash, check out the frenchy thread and grab a bag of popcorn.

Also matt rize. A hash is only as good as the water you use.
