My third try, hope it's not fail

Sucks when money is tight :/ but try to be patient! your smoke will be way better if you let her finish, also microwave drying is a big no-no in my book
You'll regret it later when you smoked a 3rd of your bud before it was done.

It's called test drive mate

Happy toking

P.s lack of money is not an excuse not to give my best for best smoke

P.s2 Thank god they have self-scanning systems here

Those top buds do look delicious =D

Pretty looking buds. Wait 2 weeks and check the trichomes.

Sent from my SCH-L710 using Rollitup mobile app

Looking good red! I knew she would bounce back. These are pretty risiliant plants for the most part. Whatever your doing just keep it up and keep your mitts off her. Shes getting pretty close. Get ya a couple mason jars soon and some sharp scissors. Your first harvest is a special thing. I know you gotta be exited. Just remember drying and curing properly is just as important as the grow itself. When you get a week out from harvest your going to only give your plant plain distilled water and nothing else.

Good job and just be patient!

It's time to chop guys. I have been away for the weekend and she seems pretty dry. Give me advices how to chop and crop like a pro and not fuck up the nice smelling buds of it, thanks

Try to cut the fan leaves off your lady first. (Don't throw anything away, make your research into making wax etc. from them)
Then cut every stem at a point where it has a U shape, by that I mean to meet another branch, so you can hang them onto a piece of string to dry.
Hold it from there and manicure the bigger sugar leaves. You can leave some smaller on, to cut them after the buds are dry, or smoke 'em!
Try not to touch your buds with your hands. If you do, make sure you have gloves on. Your scissors will have some resin of them when done. You can make a spliff with that!!

Ok so you manicure and hang them on a piece of string to dry. Make sure no bud is touching another or anything else, and your string is ok to handle the weight.
Room temps and humidity are kinda important. You want your temps below 24C (this isn't much important) and you def need a dark room. Humidity should lower in the room if you have a fan blowing under your hang buds. Check your humidity, if it's below 50%, check your buds everyday. By that, I mean that if you bend the stem and it snaps, you're good to jar them up!
Throw your humid meter in the jar as well. Some guys use Boveda packs (62%) to lower the humidity in the jar. I'll use on my current harvest too.
Keep some things in mind:

"+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.
65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.
60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.
55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period (3 months or more) without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.
Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet."

If I forgot something, sorry but I'm in a hurry right now!!

Cheers!!

Thanks mate, will follow your tips and I am almost done with the though

Hey no prob!

Be sure to browse around the "Harvesting and Curing" section of RIU!

The greatest time has come my friend!!

Cheers!

I could not trim all the small leaves as some have dried already and are too small/dead. I just chopped the tree and let it dry upside down where I have grown my weed(dark closet with decent air circulation).

Congratz on your successful grow redboy! =D Hope she gives you a good amount of smoke for the hard start she had!

Once again thank you guys for the support. Shame I went to Amsterdam aaand...er, I broke my phone into a hooker's house so can't make snaps at least for 2 weeks time

Though I will try to upload one if there is someone generous who is willing to lend me their phone for a photo and will upload later here

Peace and love to all of you, and keep the fire

Hahahaha!! Watch out when you at the Red Light bro!!

I hope you blazed some good stuff there!!

Waiting on any photos!

Cheers!!
