3 plants almost 3 pounds!

at least a 5 ton A/C unit next one is going to be 15 + lights. This one was suppose to be 10 but there were limiting factors lets just say my next set up is going to be water and im aiming at 2lbs per plant minimum!

how long should i cure for you think? im drying for 3-4 days and curing for about a week and what i keep as head stash i will cure for about 2-3 weeks?

CO2 doesnt need high temps to work, it allows for the higher temps and actually helps cause them as well

This is untrue, you do need higher temps to use CO2. The plants stomata open up at around 85F. I do believe that it increases temps though, I don't know why. It may be due to the extra humidity released because of increased plant development or the added weight to the air in the room.

Longer the cure the better. 4 weeks would do them real good.

should i leave them in the dark for 1 or two days before harvest?

i never do. just harvest in the morning.

what u people think the best way to dry ur buds is without losing to much weight??

Hang em upside down in a dark place with an oscillating fan.. Thats pretty much the best way..

Seems like the buds are better too..

cheers mate

have you ever tried it FL?

ive always harvested in the morning, but never had the size you are working with....ive always dried mine just strung up in cardboard boxes in the top of a closet or in the attic or something, never worried about a fan, i dont have many 75+ degree areas with humidity over 65% in or around my home so mold never really worried me....recently though i dried a few sample buds in a jar just with the lid off, (i could still see the bottom, very sparsely laid out) and they took like 10-12 days to dry b4 i could jar them but they were head and shoulders above the rest of that plant, soo smooth, almost like hookah or something, idk if it was the super slow dry or what, but im trying it again with a few more buds to see if thats the trick

Cheeseus Christ! How did I miss this? Ref! Awesome fucn job! I gotta read from the begining. Have some rep, ill be back. U SHOULD have a full bar of rep by now, with this fucn grow!

lol yeah i got quite a bit of rep this is from two grows the the first few pages with the buds hung up was from my first grow. I got new pics coming in 2 days the trichs are all milky now but the trichs on the leaves of the bud are amber??

I've heard that different strains react differently. Some growers leave there plants in complete darkeness for up to 72 hours before harvest, instead of leaving the lights on. I've heard that it can't have negative affects, but it can increase trichome development in certain strains.. and save some electricity . Just monitor the plants every so often and make sure they get a good watering right before the dark period. It's supposed to help them suck up all their remaining resources. I think I read this in High Times.

You should run a test if you can, put some in darkness and the rest left under light and compare

The way you dry your buds doesn't determine how much weight you lose. Just dry until the stem snaps. Hang them up on a sting in a dark room with plenty of air movement.

yeah im going to hang in a dark room at 65 F with a dehumidifier for one day and then take out the dehumid. and leave them hanging forf another 2-3 days then throw them into heavy duty black garbage bags for one day and bring them out again and continue this process.

^^^^ when u put in trash bags, i would check every 4 or so hours. Its gonna make em sweat, quick!

you think?

Its just like us. If we are dry, and then put a trash bag over us, were gonna sweat. If its paper bags ur fine, they can breath. Plastic trash cannot. Maybe poke some holes in it..
