sweating? please clarify. i can think of several different things you are thinking of. thanks.:mrgreen:






i've never tried freezing but my wife has a new vacuum sealer.:mrgreen:
I leave my finished weed with the lights of still in the soil for the last 3-4 days,soil is dry.
Then i trim them up and i bag them into plastic bags pin holes in the plastic bags and tip them out onto newspaper every 12 hours or so for an hour or so to stop them getting mouldy.
I do this for 3 days with about 3 wet ounces in each bag.
I was led to believe that sweating and curing leads to a biochemical process occurring in the weed that makes it stronger and smoother.
I then hang it in a cardboard box for a week at most and then i jar it in old coffee jars.
Ive always done it this way as it is what i read years ago,this time i will try without it:blsmoke:

Yeah not good to do it with bud thats to damp,do you know if its a true fact about the biosynthesis?, as its something i read a long time ago and took for truth but its not like i really know as im not a scientist.
I realize that the jars sweat slowly over time but no one seems to sweat before they dry anymore probably like you said cause of the mould possibility and i wont bother if its a waste of time:blsmoke:

well what does it feel like when its ready for harvest and do your buds smell dank when done? Im not saying mine smelt like hay or grass, but they just didnt have that fucking dank smell...What strains are potent for smell?:peace:

Hey fdd thanx for all the time you took on this.

I have one question and it might be dumb but here we go.

If you get down to the last buds and the last jar is only 1/8th full, will the bud ever regain moisture after going into the jar for the first time?

ps. After looking at the plumber in the picture I noticed all the kool shit in the picture...is that a 3 dollar price tag on the microscope?

i find that if the jar is not full it doesn't work right. i have jars that step down in size. :mrgreen:


yep, $3 my friend. my wife finds good deals.:blsmoke:
