why would you ruin everything at the end, after all of your hard work?

Get someone to come over and jar it up for you after a week or two.

you got to do what you got to do... yah know.
if you cant cure the bud properly.
you may return to a mold problem.
if you leave it out drying for 30 days and no curing. your going to have some brittle dry stuff that taste like brick weed.
Still get you high.

no, get some one to take them down in a week, two at most, even thats bad, if you want you can take it with you, just hang it in the car in a black plastic bag with holes in it next to a window slightly open, depending on how many your cutting, and the size

Put them in a container and add humidity beads. The beads will soak up excess moisture but will leave just enough moisture for them to continue curing. you can buy 60% RH at most cigar shops or even better custom order them at 40% RH. The beads are reusable and last forever.

Chop the whole plant at base and hang to dry dont make any cuts just hang the whole plant should take 14 days or more to fully dry depending on how big the buds but because of all the leaf and stem it would be really hard to over dry especially if they are thick stems and they will smell so much better because the leaves cover all the buds and allow them to dry slow which is basically curing them from day 1 jus keep ur extraction coming on att least every hour and keep a small fan on a timer to periodically move air around but not directly at buds i dry this way

In my experience, if you dry without trimming the plants in a cold room, they'll be fine. They may be little dry, but entirely smokable (and interestingly, might turn out pretty darn good). The moisture in all those leaves will slow down the process enough. Good luck!

Glad you liked it bro it takes longer but the end product is so much better i use to trim first and it always ended up tasting harsh and smellin off hay but when i tried this method i was over the moon with the end product

let the hang and intill u get back then put them in jars but be very careful( it will be very dry) and moist the jar by putting aluminum around the top of the jar and put a few q-tips soaked in water and put the lid on.. about a week it should be moist again.. be careful not to let mold set in.. anyway you end up doing it good luck... that would be a bitch to loose it after all that time you have in it..
