I really had to think if i wanted to post this due to the fear of some of you old school guys calling me an idiot, but i will post anyway.

Im a noob grower, only have 2 grows under my belt, so i have scowered youtube and rollitup for help.
When i was learning how to dry and cure my stuff i ran across a guy who has been growing for over 40 years.. he told a story about some plants he had hanging that he forgot about.. and months later he found. He said it looked like rock candy .. and when he smoked it it was the most amazing shit he had ever had.

Fast forward to my first blue dream grow. Grow went well, and i wanted to try this guys thing.. so i left 1 branch in a back closet and just laid the branch in a box so the flower wouldn't touch anything and get moldy.

Well, it was an anniversary with me and my chick yesterday, and since it was a Wed, we stayed in and i said hey i have that bluedream in the back closet that has been sitting there for 3 -4 months.. lets try it. Honestly, its was the best tasting shit i have EVER smoked and it was as strong as an edible..way better then the stuff i hung and cured in jars. Thinking since this bud was never touched/ or touched the side of a jar, ect, the trichomes where all there.

On your next harvest take 1 branch off, trim the buds and leave the buds on the branch and "put in away" in a cool dark spot and leave it there for a few months. Give it a try and see what u think.

Let the idiot name calling begin... starting .. now!

Love it!

My parents taught me to hang the whole plant upside down, in darkness to dry, with the roots still on, and all.
But.
Ive always just cut at the base. Then stuck them in a jar after a few weeks to cure.

Looks like i should have listened to my parents after all.

Im gonna have to revisit this method.

Great thread.
Happy anniversary @Anon618 .
Thank-you, for the advice.

Tim.

:peace:

The takeaway for me was the fact that once you pull the bud off of the branch the slow dry will stop and thus you need to throw in jars. Keeping the bud on the branch as long as possible allows a slower drying process. I know if i was growing to sell i would be pulling off asap and getting them to 60 percent ish asap to get it out the door, but for me im looking for the best tasting/ hardest hitting stuff that the genetics of the plant will allow.

Wanted to report back on my test of the drying of my last grow. It didn't work as well as the last. The last cure was done in the winter so the lower temps allowed for the set it and forget it kinda cure. Since it is summer now i will have to go the traditional route of hanging and jarring.

??? Why do people keep saying this? What's the water content of good dabs then???? I prefer to smoke dry oils. I think the plant matter to oil ratio could be mistaken for moisture content or vice versa?


Hi OP. The lovely thing about the internet is nothing people say here matters, ya idiot! (You're already in the top 1% for trying something different.)
