I recognize it. It looks like my Spice of Life AK47 x Sweet Tooth #3. I was wondering which of the two my plants were most like, the AK or ST, and from your pics I would think the ST is coming through a lot. Very nice indeed. Unfortunately my two plants started mid July and I will be lucky to have what one of your branches yields. What a freaking mass of buds you have dude. I hope it's good smoke.

schoolie, my opinion is that bud will tighten up and look great when it dries(it's wet now, right?). Every leaf looks trichome coated so it's good to smoke. I wish I could get mine to finish out that nice.

how bout drying in a vacuum chamber? that would get the moisture out pretty quick. because it seems to me that quick drying fails when heat comes into the mix. although I don't know if a lack of air pressure like that would also vaporize the thc and remove that along with whatever water was with it. In fact it probably would so kindly disregard this statement. Unless you have plenty to play around with and a vacuum chamber!!!

This question may have been asked but i can't find a clear answer, i have dried my fruit and my source says he dries it up good and goes right to bag into freezer. Theory being it will cure and beef up it's high over time same as glass jars or paint cans? some i had to pick early or was being destroyed. Anyone clarify for me?

I've never frozen my bud, for this reason. The resin in the trichomes will become hard and brittle, and any movement, or handling of the bag will break some loose from the plant matter. I'd certainly cure it fully first, before freezing, because those biological changes may not happen if frozen.

I don't know if you have already FDD, but could elaborate on
your curing method after they have reached the so desired level
of dryness...I recall you saying that you leave them closed all day,
and leave the lids slightly ajar over night.

I put this advice to practice on my last harvest and they turned
out ok...I would, however, like to know exactly how you do this.

just like that. once it gets dry to a point where it's not moist when you open it you can then seal and store. :blsmoke:

If you are using bubble bags you can use the trim righ away. Better though to let it sit in the freezer for a few hours first then make your bubble. This is only for bubble hash though, I don't know much about making other forms of hash.

Hi, were newbies a plant popped up in our yard and I came across your post and need to ask a question. It doesn't look ready and we might get our first frost tonight, should we pull it ? Or could we cover it? If we do pull it is it a total loss?
