harvested a smaller bud for a test run

so i ran out of bud and the dough flow is tight so i decided to kill two birds with one stone.

so this is a test run of my drying and curing

please i dont need people telling me that i harvested way to early or anything i just want tips on the drying and curring please and BTW this is about 1/15th of the plant(its over four feet tall ALL CFL GROW it can be done!)

the only problem i have so far is that when i was trimming with a small pair of regular scissors the clipping kept sticking to the scissors. any suggestions?

well heres some picks the one of the whole plant was takin a while a go and the other two are of the bud i trimmed and is drying

hows it taste? plant is looking super nice man!

Yeah plant looks great. Gives me hope for CFL grows. Is it dense? How many weeks? Have you started flush?

Cut if off the stem and put it in a paper envelope or paper bag and close it. Put it on a dryer that is on, or something like that, I use one of my 1000 ballasts. Leave it there for a couple hours and check it. If it is dry put it in a jar or plastic bag to recirculate the moisture. If needed put it back on the ballast or what ever. Repeat until ready to smoke.

nice!!! what strain is she?

my ak-47's are about 2 weeks away, starting to flush today so ill be doing a test nug later on this week.

i got it from a good bag i dont know what it is i just hung it up to dry yesterday goina let it just dry out naturaly.
used about 200w cfls
started flowering on 3-12 so about 8 weeks in i hope the top buds will be really ready in the next 2-4 weeks
im going to harvest the top mature buds first and give the bottoms a while longer

this is my first grow
