I usually use the QWISO method. Works great. Just be patient during the drying. Don't use a heater, and when you think it's dry, wait even longer.

Just do a search for QWISO. I don't wanna turn this harvest thread into a hash tutorial.



im with you brother, sister, or ....... i want my sweet looking buds not to get baked in my dry room and take on fans not direct im looking at a 10x10 area
but it gets kinda stuffy i can work with that but i want to know an ideal temp not to fry em what do you guys think

AND PLEASE TALK BOUT HASH IN THE HASH SECTION PLEASE

Ok so I just started my flushing period, I used 3x pot volume of purified drinking water. Now do I do this just once then continue regular water with purified water until harvest?

just water with plain water for 10 or more days. no need to flood them.

what's EC?

i'm a soil guy. never grown hydro.

wish i could be of more help.
 
I'm growing my first season, and am about 3 to 4 weeks from harvesting. Thanks for your run down. I would have hated to screw it all up this close to the end. Can't wait to taste this stuff!!! Much of the stuff I get around here tastes like all the chems that are all over the plants. (My whole garden is organic, tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, basil, oregano, rosemary. . .)
 
Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and reading as much as I can about the different ways you all have to dry and cure your buds.

I just harvested one of my plants and it's been sitting in my little cardboard box for about 4 days today. I leave the top of the box open a crack so that air can get around inside and vent it, and I put a little moisture packet inside the box so that moisture doesn't become a problem. After reading this post I checked my buds and the stems bend but not break and the buds are smokeable. My question is should I now put them in a paper bag to dry alittle bit more as many others have told me? Or should I start the cure? I would like them to be ready to go for my friends birthday the 24th of this month. Any ideas to help me?
 
Hi Y'all! I'm new to on-line learning about anything, so easy does it. My grow came out better than I'd hoped for. To anyone, now that I am at harvest, I got the dry thing down and how to tell, but can
someone tell me what is the reason for curing in glass jars? I have airtight plastic crafter's boxes (about the size of a shoe box) Can I use them.

Why am I asking? I have the plastic boxes, but would have to spend money (don't have alot of) to get glass jars. I have more trimming to do and breakfast to eat, so please someone give me some input. I'll check back in an hour.

you can start the cure if they are dry enough.

some plastics can leave behind a smell or flavor. some aren't fully airtight. if you are Ok using them then they should work. ;)

Can buds be over cured? How long do you reccomend to cure for best potency? Is the curing procedure any different for indoor vs. outdoor?
