Very nice first time crop. Most people get nothing on their first try.

But IMHO never dry your buds with leafs. First manicure all the leafs you can before you hang them.
The leaf is what dries first, and the wilt down and dry tight around the buds, and it makes it a big pain in the ASS to manicure the buds then.

But if you manicure them of the main leafs when they are fresh, the leafs stick out and are much easier to snip.

But even doing it my way. I hate the harvest time the very most. it is a lot of work to manicure your buds correctly. You will get arm pump from the hours and hours of nothing but, Snip, Snip. I did the rip the roots up and hang the plant trick.. WHAT A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS THAT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!! I know, I know... Jorge says that is the best way. I am such an idiot.

Hell Yes, so many hours, snip, snip, snip. Whats spose to be the advantage of ripping the roots out opposed to just cutting it down?

looks great dude. looks like you got everything all worked out. i like to cut most of the leaves before i hang dry them too. i also like to burp once a day for about an hour but some may do it differently. a nice slow cure will give you optimum taste and potentcy. congrats and rep.

thnx masta how long do u think i should cure because the info givin from nirvana
Misty is a short and stocky plant. The lime green bubble like leaves are thick and heavy like salad. Buds are dense and covered with THC glands extending to the shade leaves. Though Misty shares genes with white Widow, it finishes earlier and produces tighter buds with a greater yield. Misty gives off a powerful musky smell, some say it is like old sweat. Unlike its near offensive aroma, misty smokes sweet and leaves a sugar after taste in the mouth

• Plant type: Best suitable for indoor growing.
• Plant height: Short- Mostly Indica
• Stoned or high?: Stoney yet high- Allround Buzz
• THC level: Strong 15-20%
• Flowering Weeks: 8/10
• Yield (Sea of Green on one m2) : 350-450
• Harvest Month: 9/10
• Grow difficulty: Easy (Good for beginners

My cures are usually 3-4 weeks. But even after that the smell and taste gets better.
