heres what i do

Trim wet, rh ~60%, decent airflow ~500-700cfm, no light, temps 65-73°f, Hopefully this takes roughly 10-14 days before outside of buds becomes dry. Do not let any part of the bud become dry. if this happens to soon; up rh, lower temp, and/or decrease air flow. When drying is complete, Jar for minumum of 16hrs to get moisture back to the tips. You can now add boveda packs and or "burp" for30 minutes and give airflow to the bud. Airflow is very important to the cure but so is maintaining 55-60%rh

After 2 weeks drying and 1 week "cure" i start to sell or taste test

i burp every other day for 2 weeks then weekly for 2months... then its good to go head stash


if it stars to smell like hay you need to increase airflow or perhaps better exchange ..yiu may then need to up rh

i only grow personal headstash so all my weed has to be up to my very own personal high standards.

heres how i guarantee that dank ass weed.

lighting - i prefer full spectrum lighting (i use 315w LEC at the moment in the 4200k colour range) full spectrum lighting really really helps terpenes IMO. also very important to keep the lights up high enough, cooked bud is shit bud, you want your plants to have a happy healthy relaxed look to them. they should look comfortable, not forced or stressed.

grow organic or if in hydro dont over do it with the nutes and additives, i have grown both methods and produced very tasty meds with both but hydro is more difficult. the trick in hydro is to keep it simple, i had better results running just the base nutes with no additives and keeping the PPM at a reasonable level, no overferting!

harvest- i like to chop my plants and hang them whole, this can take up to 4 weeks to dry depending on your climate, it does require patience and a good drying space otherwise the long dry can cause issues but if you nail it after a 4 week air dry like that your buds will already taste cured. then i cut all the buds and jar over night, often i will need to remove the buds from the jar and air dry them for another day or so always jarring overnight to even the moisture back out. once im happy with the moisture content they go back into jars and get burped and checked daily until im confident they are safe for long term storage. then they can cure for as long as it takes me to smoke it all, i have jars of bud that have been around for well over 12 months. although my older stuff usually just gets cooked up or tumbled for hash.

for me the biggest change i made was hanging whole plants or at least whole branches to slow the dry down.

the only thing id say about that..
your cut plant is just that, a cutting.
when growing fan leaves then sugar leaves yellow to keep the bud healthy..possibility of offspring being key.. this homeostasis is pretty difficult to interrupt.

cutting the fans and trimming first, while maintaining a suitable environment, keep from.drying to quick is the best method.. no point in curing (breaking down) your leaves.

also i wasnt sure but even with boveda packs or at 60rh you still have to burp so the flavors can evolve..



anyway ive said pretty much all i have to say in this thread


good luck everybody!

I definetly will do it right. I will taste it before I sell it. I need good product.

Right now u plan to keep an eye on it and harvest at the right time.

I have 2 curved and one straight fiskar style trimmers.

I plan to cut and trim best I can. Hang dry afterward my tent is about 65-70 with 58 rh.
I have 20 pint jars coming. I have 10 boveda packs and a total of 6 hygrometers that can fit in the jar.

I just got my bh bags.

I'm ready to go...

About the light burn..

I fucked up this grow. 1st one. My shit is out of control. There is light burn on some of the sugar leaves and two big buds have small. Maybe quarter size bleaching on them.

Otherwise the buds are fat sticky And resinous. The shit sticks to my hands even after washing..

Do you think the buds will be good? I can cut out those little bleached parts.

And in the future, how far should I keep 600 watters away from the top of canopy?
That whole if it feels hot to your hand rule doesn't worked cause I'm air cooled and can touch the tube and or glass plate with no prob
