I like to use a very weak fan in my closet aiming nowhere around my bud and not close to it just to make sure the air in the room is moving a bit. Dont want any wind contact with the bud but if the air is still your more likely to get mold
It was a little most but I've just been burping the jar. This morning it read 67 so I left it open for an hour and closed it up again. Probably needed one more day hanging. When I have more branches and diff sized buds hanging I think it'll be easier for me to judge the snap test. I just didn't want to risk over drying it since you technically can't add back to it. I'll try to do a better job with the actual crop lol
Glad to hear your following the hydrometer method!! Never has failed me. And as long as you dont go below 58-60id say you can remoisten it and still get a cure but 55 or lower i wouldnt bother. Had a jar hit 55 last time and the smell sucked tried remoistening and curing and it did nothing. Still good weed though
^ yes
actually it really depending on strain from the ones i've grown, some get done in time, others not so well. Before i bought my loop, i would use my camera in macro mode and the magnify glass to make sure. Now with the loop its alot easier to figure out. My last one went 12weeks, it would prolly gone 13 to 14, but it got to where i wanted it, cloudy with about 5%amber, made for a nice smoke

Im not close to that number but Im not looking for any amber to be in there if possible, I just want the amber as a signal theyre done, not any actual amber added to the high.. Trying to keep this as a day smoke. And I agree a lot of the leaves have TONS of amber but I have only been checking the calyxes so thanks!
am I sure, no Im not sure at all hahah. I tried some of the 2 day cured bud yesterday on a clear head. It picked me up and threw me through a glass window lol, long long high, the beginning was very cerebral but it did turn very relaxing as time went on and as soon as I sat down I was out haha...the high lingered afterward, the burnt feeling etc. It felt potent. Before pulling this bud a week or so ago I had pulled a tiny shitty popcorn bud off the bottom. THAT was SUPER cerebral but only for like an hour then i got a bit of a headache (most likely due to it being immature) but Im nervous about waiting too long...I dont want a head only and relaxing stone, while that sounds great I really want the "force you to do the dishes or go hiking type of high" that rushy kind of high...I know its a sativa mix but I just dont want to wait too long. TO be honest Im sure it could go longer than friday, maybe even another week. I dont see a lot of amber at all, so Im assuming those cloudy trich are just gaining potency correct?
Trying man believe me
I find early harvested bud never gets me high as long. Im a big fan of the cerebral high. That said i personally believe in harvesting plants when they are mature and growing strains that suit the high you like. Also i find strains with less amber tend to have a much shorter high. Id say 10% amber would be to your liking and most likely mature enough. Id suggest staggering your harvest so you can see the differences for yourself
That a good idea. chop the ready colas and let the rest immature buds get a chace for better light penetration. when doing so put the lights close
they've had more than a week over the bud that I'm curing now so we should be fine. Hopefully. I'll post pictures. Life is sort of getting in the way at this point as well lol. Stay tuned
Issues can be a bitch! I support ya! Make sure to take their best senior pics b4 chop let us know!I like both those answers! However one of the buds got burnt pretty bad last night. The lights are too much at this point and I'm losing quality I think because of light burn or heat. Something must be up with my carbon filter. I should have taken it out and shaken it before the flip to flower. It might be all clogged up and proper air isn't being exhausted. The ac is right next to the tent and set at 68 so there should be no issue. I'm chopping them tonight for sure. Sorry guys
Hahaha. Photos before the chop. Got it!
No crappy iphone pics either lol jp
