Yeah you gotta be careful of moisture. For me...when I cured my crop I didn't take her down from drying until either the stem snapped or was just about to snap. From there I cut where necessary and put her in a mason jar. And when I burped it...I removed all of the nugs onto a paper towel...leaving the jar empty. Wait 10 minutes. Then put the nugs back in the mason jar and sealed her up. Did this for about a week during the first week of cure and then only burped it once a day the second week. By third week I could burp every other day. And now I burp when I get a chance...been rationing out my weed and it's still as potent as ever and in some ways seems even stronger.

I've been researching making Marijuana Oil or Rick Simpson oil as it's fondly refered to. I got a good friend of my who was just diagnosed with fucking lung cancer and I wanna make him some oil so he has a chance of fighting this off before he goes into chemotherapy. What really sucks is that he's mad stubborn and thinks Marijuana Oil is just a scam.

Anyway...once I make the oil....I'll document it here so people can see noobs like me can see how to make it: step by step

Well done...I am that 55 year old woman..less 4 years. No I haven't gone to prison but thanks for the tip...I cannot stand cops. I am growing to ease the pain of everyday life. Funny I don't feel old at all. Think like a 25 year old. I am not heavy. I look 15 years younger but my body has taken a beating and it hurts.

No worries. Just keep it yourself ;) It's so tempting to brag about these monster colas you're growing or how your baby plant is coming along or how your medicine is curing your pain better than any horseshit man made pill ever did but, at the end of the day if they're not growing themselves...they really can't appreciate the detailed significance of what you're saying other than "wow that's a big plant you got there...stinky too."

...that said...keep doing your thing and keep your medicine growing hobby to yourself. It's temping as hell...I admit...to go around and pretend your a mini-Tony Montana of the weed game...but, tell no one. Spill the beans on this board.

I don't know where I read this but, I remember reading an article or perhaps hearing someone say this in a documentary:

If you are arrested for marijuana in the United States...keep in mind that you as the "law-breaker" are on a higher moral ground than the government whose law you supposedly "broke."

Marijuana should be legal...for a litany of reasons...but, if you're arrested for it...it doesn't matter. If you're in a state where it's illegal...they won't give a shit if you're curing cancer...they will fucking throw the book at you and ruin your life without blinking an eye or losing an ounce of sleep.

Grow your medicine and live and love your life.

Fuck anyone who tries to stop you.

Cause you never know which one of your friends is gonna get arrested for some other offense and rat you out....or worse yet...to have one of your closest friends pull a "Linda Tripp" on you and turn your entire world upside down. I'm positive Bill Clinton still curses that woman's existence to this day.

On the subject of not knowing who might fuck you over...I have a friend of mine that almost got into some deep (and serious) legal shit because his ex-girlfriend (who I met and I can attest is 110% certifiably fucking crazy) dumped him. Then called him in tears...and when he wasn't crying begging her to take him back (smell the crazy on her yet?) she was so wounded by it that she went to the police and said he was a drug dealer. It was completely fucked in many ways because nothing could be further than the truth and he had to hire a lawyer any everything to make sure this crazy ass allocation didn't go any further or escalate. Didn't go as far as it could've not because the police saw her as crazy but because my friend had a good lawyer and made the case that he didn't have to answer any questions unless he was under arrest. So as crazy as this bitch was...and trust me when I tell you she's all sorts of fucking crazy...there wasn't one police officer who said "It's obvious this crazy bitch is just making shit up to get her ex boyfriend in trouble." On the contrary they followed up on it like she walked into dispatch and said "I know who killed JFK!!!" So fuck her and fuck the police in my friend's neighborhood....because of that shit...my friend almost went to jail for absolutely NOTHING.

I guess the point in all of this is to: grow your stash and cover thy ass. Cause you don't know what agendas other people out there might have.

They've been hanging for a while..
Gotta admit it's depressing how much weight you lose to water evaporation.
One of my nugs shriveled up so much i can see the main stock through the bud.
I plan to leave my official harvest to hang for as long as it takes - 2 weeks if need be.
Yesterday they seemed to my estimate about halfway there..
I'm letting them go until i get a sincere SNAP.

With my mini harvest, it was only 2 little stalks that had broke off.
I guess i thought grab it now a little damp, before it dries into nothing..
Certainly not the best decision. And another bad decision:
I left the leaves on, and didn't trim the mini harvest (which takes longer to dry out)
Then came along, felt that the main leaves were paper dry.
Wrongly assumed the bud was also dry, although the stem didn't snap. Bad choice.
So when they're dry, if not Sunday, for sure some time this upcoming week I will post my novice harvest :)
Some stocks are embarrassing, some astonishing.. All in all it was a fun experience :)

Official harvest is complete :) It feels unbelievably awkward to cut something up that you've been growing for over half a year.
I've babied these things for over 8 months. It's been like mission impossible. Finally however, they've reached the finish line.
Although I didn't end up with ounces, I did end up with a variety of potent weed. And that's more than this guy could ever ask for.
Strong weed, that i grew with my own blood, sweat and tears. The stuff is unbelievable. It takes me to a feeling of my childhood.
I've smoked every day, from different dealers, for AT LEAST 3 years straight. This is not an exaggeration.
I barely even get a buzz on unless it's been a long day without it, (say i go 12 hrs without). Then i get lifted.
I almost feel i've become in a sense used-to or almost immune to THC some days.
However, this weed i grew hits me hard, like the first time, every time. Once again, not an exaggeration!
Maybe it's all in my head, because i grew it, but i certainly wont be smoking anyone else's crop in the near future.
Not while mine does the job for me:) CONGRATS TO US BOTH FOR BEING SO PREVALENT:)

**SIDE NOTE: Remember when i thought my plants got seeded? Only 2 of them did, and I've only noticed/collected 5 seed's from them so far. I expected the buds to be full of them. Somehow, i got VERY lucky. No seedy weed, but a few seed's for next years need ;)

P.S Kind of annoying how when you type seeds it hyper links it. seeds seeds and more seeds.

Whoa! That's some frosty-ass weed you grew there amigo. Now that....that's some beautiful bud you grew there. I know what you mean about that "weird" feeling you get chopping down something you've been nurturing for the past couple of months. But you made it!! You crossed the finish line!! It's an awesome feeling smoking what you yourself grew isn't it?

I can attest to having your own weed be more potent than street shit. I don't smoke as often as you (3 years everyday...? Holy shit...call Guinness...I think you broke Snoop Dog's record, lol). But yeah...when I smoked my shit for the first time I was completely fried. But, like you, I thought it was all in my head because it was my own shit...and I secretly wanted it to be better than street shit...so my mind was playing a trick on me to make my ego feel better.

So the true acid test...I gave some to my girlfriend. And I told her "Be honest with me...don't just say anything to make me feel better. I don't give a shit about that. Just tell me what you think...honestly."

And she's a true pothead. My girl smokes probably 5 times a week (but she also has terrible arthritus and weed is the only thing that stops the pain). Anyway...she lit up and at first she's like..."Okay...it's pretty good." Then about 5 seconds later:

KA-BLAMO!!

She's like "Whooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa......this shit hits you like a hand grenade of truth. Wow...baby...you grew some strong ass fucking weed."

And I've done a straight up comparison myself...smoking the street weed I had left over vs. my own weed and it's night and day. Yeah street weed certainly gets me high. But I get completely obliterated on my weed.

So yeah...I think because it's so fresh and because there hasn't been any tampering with the weed (like there is with street weed...which has been handled, packaged, bundled up, broken up, placed in plastic baggies, etc). All of that tampering I'm sure has an effect on the trichomes which will surely snap off...which result in a less potent product.

But with us...we just pick that shit right off a branch and there's no handling whatsoever. So all the trichomes remain intact so when you smoke it...you're smoking 100% of it's potency.

At least that's my theory as to why our homegrown stuff is better than street weed.

Someday this will all be legal and we'll laugh about our shitty little home grown adventures. But in the meantime...it's a helluva experience growing your own stash ;)

BTW: That's awesome you didn't get seedy weed. I know you were afraid of all of them being pollinated but, 5 seeds aint nothing to sneeze at. LOL at how they hyperlink seeds every time we write the word seeds. LOL....seeds, seeds, seeds.

I'm a new grower and I must say it helped me!!! Thanks for posting that's for damn sure!!!!!

Glad it helped amigo.

I've been stretching my stash from HOPE as long as I could and now that I'm running a little low, I might go for another grow. Maybe...maybe not. It's time consuming as fuck. But growing your own truly is an unbelievable feeling. The best is when I've been at a party and I pull out a joint of my home grown shit and fire that shit up and all of a sudden people are hitting it like "whoa...this is some strong ass weed. Smooth too. Yo where did you get this?" No one knows I grew it and I'd like to keep it that way. Last thing I need is some dickhead getting picked up on a separate drug related charge and rolling on me, like I'm some sort of weed Kingpin. LOL...that's the last thing I need. I just told them I got the weed from this guy who moved away. Then I smile on the inside and take a massive hit :bigjoint:
