why do we hang our buds in complete darkness to dry? the reason i ask is b/c i read in an old issue of high times that the reason aculpulco gold was a golden color was because it was sunbleached from drying in the sun. if this is true, why then does everyone stress that it must be dark in the drying room?
you can smoke right from the plant if you desire. It is truely all preference. see i like the bold flavors that cured marijuana has to offer. but alot of people like the fresh green taste of pot, so they smoke right away. now on the other end i have grown strains that taste much better after the drying process then they did after months of curing. So you can smoke now especially if you have a good vaporizer, otherwise i would at least wait until moisture content of the buds is right to burn correctly. the longest i have cured for was about 7 months. and that is just because that is how long that grow lasted me.
.You completely submerge your buds and they will dry underwater.....Trust me it works. Read the Grow FAQ, posted below:

Its actually very simple to do, and makes it a nicer smoke IMO....
Do you ever see droplets form on the inside of the jar?burp is opening the jar to let the chlorophyll and stale air out of the jars. also if alot of moisture built up then you may need to leave open for awhile to let the buds dry abit more. also remember when you burp to move the buds inside the jar around. I leave mine in jars from the time the are put in them till the jars are empty from me smoking. after the burping process which can take up to 2 weeks you can then seal the jars and just let them cure as long as you like. Hell a year if you wanted.
Seems like it would totally saturate the bud. Making it a soggy mess. It does sound like a practical joke LOL.
Stop all this nonsense. You're gonna make at least 5 people mold the fuck out of those nugs. You people actually think water, the most wet substance on earth, will dry something out? The water will get soaked up into the bud through the open cut you just made and fill the cells the bye bye bud hello mold/rot.
This is a point I had not figured out all this time that makes perfect sense.also darkness helps the chlorphyll break down
Just keep the bud it Mason haters in the dark for 2 weeks. Crack the lids off for an hour each day to let moisture escape, but keep them in the dark while the lids are off. 2 weeks will be enough time to make it smoke smoothly with enough chlorophyll broken downI wonder how long it takes chlorophyll to break all the down?
? anyone know when we can post pictures again? What happened?
Fucken Awell im not going just to smoke it straight from the plant im going to hang the weed upside down and dry it out for 3-5 days how ever long it takes to dry lol well thanks for the help idk if im patient I might cure it for a week or two opened jar or no?
