The thing is, I've actually done those steps to curing. The only thing I havent heard from in your post is that "dry" constitutes as the stems breaking not bending... I've just tried bending the stems for my buds... they bend... not break... sigh
Sogbunn, would the bud regain its original scent through this way? My friends get some weed from me, and I don't think they'll be happy smelling this stuff as of now...
Well its not like its real severe or anything, you cant really tell at all... if you just look at it. The scent of it definately changed though. The weed doesnt smell good...
You should harvest the male before any of its pollen sacks open, at that point its best to make hash of it. Cyproz, I know, I saw crystals on mine as well so I figured whatever, I'll make hash out of this and it turned out all right.
Go to google, type in these exact words without the quotes "hash making" and then go to the first link and there should be DIY stuff that you can do without bubble bags and etc. When I made my hash, I used the blender method, as stated on that website.
Well, if you're going for the highest yielding plant as well as potency go with an almost pure indica bred strain. Orange Kush; most of the Kush strains in general tend to be all indica.

Oh, I just use Brer Rabbit's blackstrap from a grocery store... Dilute the molasses in water, mix it up and feed a tablespoon a day and two tablespoons weekly with fertilizer.
Oh, I got my seeds from The Atitude, slightly more expensive, but I think the reliability and shipping was well worth it for the extra cost. What kind of molasses do you use? Blackstrap?
