808toker is right... Even though i see what you are saying about never smoking anything that had white hairs, it IS true that the pistils (hairs) are known to be VERY misleading about when to harvest with certain strains... Definitely go by the trichomes, even if your bud hairs are white, the'll...

Nice, isn't it just better when you do that? You get multiple varieties of highs from one plant! It's nice to have a strain that you love, and be able to have that uplifting high during the day from the early harvested buds, and then have that coughlock put you down type of high for at night...

Really, it depends on a couple things when wondering how ling to cure. First is how dry do you want your buds? The longer you cure, they'll wind up getting to a point where you really aren't leaching moisture out of the bud much at all, only drying it out. I'd say that anywhere from 2 and a half...

Sick idea man! Now that's some smoking ingenuity! Haha simple yet genious. I always thought that you wasted some smoke when doing hot knives, but that's a great way to not only fix THAT problem, but it also makes for a better smoke!

I remember the first time i ever heard the term "hot knives", i thought it would never get the job done in an efficient way. I mean, if you're down to ruin a couple butter knives, then you're well on your way to probably one of the weirdest ways to smoke haha. This tops the apple trick or any...

Remember, the beginning of the harvest window is when you have 80% milky white trichomes and 20% amber trichomes. The end of your window (when potency will from there on start to degrade and be a VERY hard body high, almost knockout high) is when you have 30% milky white and 70% amber. Most...

Remember that curing can mosr of the time lead to an even MORE POTENT bud!!! If this stuff is over the top with potency, i wouldn't suggest a long cure at all... You want to cure because of a smoother and better tasting smoke, but if you're already having prolems with it being too strong (i get...

TO cure!!! If you want a harsh, nasty, and less potent smoke, by all means just hang your buds out and let them turn to crunchy dust... BUT, if you want a VERY clean, smooth, aromatic, and potent bud, id suggest AT LEAST a quick cure if not a proper cure. Let hang for 2-3 days, when the outside...

The harvest time is a personal opinion. If you want a mind altering high, you want about 80% milky and 20% amber. If you want a more body/narcotic high you are looking for 70% amber 30% milky. I wouldn't harvest BEFORE you at least have 20% amber, because that ratio signifies the beginning of...

Hey man, if you got some amber trichomes then you are able to clip the branches that have ripened buds. I'm not EXACTLY sure what your whole situation is like (people like pics just so they can give you better and more correct feedback) but i'd have to say that it sounds like your plants have...

There are good types of mold (the mold you find on bread is what makes penicillin!) and there's bad kinds of mold. I'm not sure which one grows on over moistened buds, but i wouldn't risk it... Next thing you know you're foaming at the mouth or some shit hahaha

It's nice that your bro was trying to help you out... but i'd do it a little different haha. First step, CUT the plant from the bottom of the stalk. Try and trim off each individual branch about a half inch from the bud closest to the stalk, leaving the last bud as a "hanger" for an easy point...

Andrewdavis is right. The smell will start to go from a "fresh plant" like smell into a more "skunky" smell that you are looking for in about a week and a half. I notice that the "true" strain smell starts when the trichome development starts to truly take off. And once you get to a week before...

8 days of hanging might have been too long... The point of drying them by hanging in the befinning is to get rid of a decent percentage of the moisture (i've heard anywhere from 30% to 60% of the moisture should be evaporated during this process). The point is to get rid of a decent "chunk" of...

Last time i checked, anyone who indoor grows "tricks" the plant. You know that thing called switching the lighting to induce the flowering cycle? Yea, tricking the plant into thinking fall has come. So first stay off a thread if all you have is an opinion based on no information. I personally...

Good post brotha, breakin it down to the nitty gritty. I like the little tips about not layin the bud on a surface for too long or the leaves will stick to it and make trimming more of a pain. First time i've heard that anywhere, and i'll surely remember that! Thanks for some new info man

I would like to know the answer to this one as well. I'm about 5 weeks into flowering and i'd like to make sure that i got all of the info down. First grow is actually amazing, but i don't need to screw that shit up with a 48 hr dark period if it's not gonna do anything beneficial...
