I am going to make a quick assumption that you have not trimmed all of the leaves off because that will give it a hay smell.....

What are the advantages of curing? I mean if its smokeable after hanging it then why do people do this? Is it really worth it? I have heard of alot of people who ruined there harvest doing so...any advice? Thank you!

I take my pot to smoke out of a glass jar so it's actually curing until it's all smoked up.

curing makes a big big difference in taste and over all smoking quality.

Looking at those pics makes me hungry

Another outstanding tutorial. Hell I like you, you can come over and bang my sister.

I've got another question. When should I know when to change the nutrients for the last week of flowering? How important is it to "flush" the plant for a few days prior to harvest and how do I tell when I do that?

u flush the last 7-10 days.. and it depends on what kind of nutes u r usin

i wait until i think my plant is done, then i flush it for 2 more weeks.

flushing, or simply watering with straight water for several watering's, will allow the plant to use up any stored nutrients. once the leaves start to fade in color you can tell it's used most of it's nutes. this will give it a "smoother flavor" when burning.

nice pics

Just the information I was searching for!!! Thanks for the insight especially knowing when they are ready for picking. My first grow and I have been without a magnifier and felt kinda stuck.. But this is ready right?

nice plants. nice finish product.

looks pretty good to me.

I've dried my buds and I am now curing the buds. I am on the 3rd day of curing. I went to burp the jars and I noticed some mold on a couple of the buds. What should I do?
