Trim hash is one of my favorite types of highs. Especially during the trimming time gets so boring to me. I despise this tedious task. Gets me through it. I want to get a vaporizer soon but I'm broke. Expenses are killing me right now. Almost harvest time now though.
Sorry to hear about the drying. Just hang the whole plant and keep it ventilated trim fans leaves. I take the time to trim off leaves over the dry time. Save what you want. Then when the buds feel spongy and when stems bend you hear snap but the stem is still flexible/malleable. At that time putt them in jars. Use a hygrometer/thermometer inside. Keep it in ranges of 60% that's ideal you can play with it how you like up or down. Keep an eye on it. Give them air. after 1 week open them every couple days you will see the RH stabilize. When its stable you'll be able to leave them in jars for long term storage. I'm excited to see the photos. What nutrients are you using?
