congrats! it's a girl! :)

those are some nice looking fat colas. i got into the habit of cutting up the colas into bite sized buds and putting them on paper because i'm an impatient fucker but a slow dry is better for taste. did you weigh it yet? i always weigh everything as soon as i trim them. the yeild will be from 1/3 rd to 1/4 of the wet weight.

you didn't get high while trimming? rookie mistake! :)



i'm happy for you brother!

Thanks my dude.. I drank lots of beer while trimming but no bong rips, those would make me lazy.

you left a crack in the window?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

that smell will drift a long way. just aim a fan just below them. it will speed it up considerably.

i'd recommend that you space your colas farther apart. no reason to crowd them and it will slow down the drying.

have you quick dried some and tried it yet?

Yeah I shut the window now just have my fan blowing in the closet. I will do some spacing.. This morning the outsides were crispy but still kind of soft.
I'm anxious to quick dry a small nug in the microwave but I still have like a 1/8th of some sour diesel that I been smoking.

Once the leaves crisps up I usually like to take them and jar them for a few hours to pull some moisture out then move them to a paper bag for 2 days, it seems to work with me 5-6 days of hanging / drying before I jar & start curing.

Good advice Weedzy they will be at day 4 of hanging drying they feel pretty dry basically no humidity out here in the PHX! So I think tonight I will do them in the paper bag for a couple days then start the jar curing/burping process...

i can't believe you haven't tried a joint yet. i have no patience at all. for a quick dry i put some buds in an envelope and put them on the top of my 250 veg light. an hour or so later, they're ready to smoke! i used to use the back of my computer monitor but that ended with the skinny monitors. you can also dry them fairly quickly by taking the buds and cutting them into tiny pieces and spread them apart with a fan blowing over them. drys in a few hours.


i've done a bunch of crops and i stopped sweating them in bags or jars. i've come to the conclusion that it's best just to let them dry, without doing the sweating thing. you just hang them for an additional day or 2. i've done it so often i just know by time and feel when all the moisture has left the middle and they're ready for the cure. one of my few skills! :)

i demand that you smoke a joint today and tell us how it is!!!

happy new years folks!

im looking into using plant esters for my next round of purples in dwc. now im not totally up on it yet but they change and/or add flavor(s). i guess esters are made by the plant but in dwc there being rushed to grow so fast they fall behind in the flav category, so in my opinion i think by giving the plant something it wont have to concentrate energy as much on producing flavs..anyone in the know plz correct me ....peeeaaace
