Look up the following. Bubble bags, hash tumbler, silk screen hash, dry ice hash. If you have an oil piece, you can also make BHO. Figure out what works best for you and continue your research in that direction. Cheers.

If you're doing it right, you will lose another 10-15% in the next few weeks. You're probably looking at ~2oz per plant. For a first grow I'd be happy with anything, but results are really dependent on many factors. In 4 gallon pots, how long was veg time? how much did you feed? did you top or...

It's hard to tell what happened to the buds before they got to you. Throw them in a jar with a hygrometer, if they read <55%, just smoke'm. If you see a reading of 55-70% and they haven't been rehydrated, they might still be curing, open the jar once a day or two, no more.

These are conditions I have had success with in the past. 20c, 40-50RH, closer to 40. One fan at the bottom is on low. Exhaust on. No big fan leaves, but I kept all small ones and sugar leaves. Nothing is touching. No light.

I just cut 3 from the base, removed all large fan leaves by hand and hung them. Will let you all know how it goes.

I read several papers on Terpene production in trichrome bearing plants and how terpene/terpenoid production has been observed to increase in low light conditions/high sleep cycle temperatures. I like to simulate fall time for the last 2-3 weeks before harvest, cooling the room overall is one...

See if you can find a screen or pantyhose and put the extra buds on that. It would be a lot better of air can circulate underneath. Aim for 96 hours not 72 and I'd say 22-27 grams dry. Good luck, almost there.

All the pistils at the top should be orange and only 1-2mm the tips should be poking out of the buds. In the last few weeks when your plant is fully maturing, the buds will swell outward and engulf the pistils. You shouldn't be seeing many curly hairs all over the place. 3 weeks maybe.

My plants lose some of their stink but never completely. One strain I grow a lot, Barneys LSD, keeps most of it's smell through drying and gets stronger week by week in cure (tops out at 3-4 weeks). I dry 4-5 days hanging (18-20c, 50rh), 1 day on a screen, then to jars. I fully trim when wet...

It's probably going to be a little longer then 7 days. 55-60 days is the breeder estimate, times vary from seed to seed and are also affected by grow environment. Don't be surprised if it takes 75 even 80 days.

You said a food dehydrator. You thought a toaster oven with the door cracked would be a decent alternative to an already very poor alternative to hang drying? A dehydrator will work, I've tried quick drying for testing buds, but as a whole, it's a bad idea. You can test it if you don't want to...

I want to do this for this harvest, but I'm also concerned with manicuring a dried plant. I've always done a wet manicure and it's tedious, I can't even imagine going at it when they're dry. Any suggestions?

If you want a heady high, don't cut your Indica prematurely, grow a Sativa. If these were mine, it's hard to tell just from the shots. It looks like you still have fresh pistils and most of your amber ones don't look like they've receded. I'd probably go at least another 10-14 days for full...

Here is my method for 3 gal medium. 4 gal of clean water, 1 gal of molasses water. Wait 5-6 days, give plain water until you get good runoff, wait till dry and chop. If I ever flush before this, it's somewhere near my light transition. My plants always respond well to flush, maybe it's the...

I steal a little nug from the bottom sometimes just for science. Leave it on the PVR for 5-6 hours and it's ready to go. Won't smoke great but should be at 80% of it's potential.
