When you dried out all the bud, how much did you get from the 1 branch you showed us at the begining? and how much was in the jar you showed at the end? did everything in that jar come from that one branch? how tall is the plant you took that branch from?
Lol, sorry bout all the questions but im just wondering. Could i have the weight in ounces please, cheers.
Nice buds by the way. Looking at that amount your mouth just waters. Ive never seen more than a couple of ounces and that was all bagged up and ready to go wich donsnt compare to looking at freshly dried buds on a table.
I would guess a 1/2 ounce dried probably a little more they are dense:joint:

this helped me out with everything i basically need to know.props man

if im not mistaking to sum it all up you wait for the amber hairs to know when its ready.cut branches to make it easier.trim the leaves all around the bud so its nice and perfect.let it hang on a wire or so for a few days?...then after that put it in a jar?........by putting it in jar it restores any moisture and opening it up just a little bit each day will dry it out alittle bit?..thanks

Every thing is right except he lets them finish there life cycle before he cuts,he does not harvest because all the hairs are amber:weed:

thanks dude.much appreciated.so when its in the jars for a pariod of time thats how whenever you get it off a dealer its sometimes real compact and the buds got that nice feel to them?....i had this stuff not long ago, just some regular.but some of the best i have ever had.got a nice twin sack and had no seeds no stems at all, but the way how it was when it broke up was something i havent seen since when i was real light green and color and you can break it up with your fingers..it broke up like styrofoam.a big nugget would break down into all tiny little nugs.great stuff :weed:

well yes of course humidity/heat/airflow and light all play a role in the quality of your end product when drying curing.

Hey FDD, after reading through all of this i think i've picked my last 5 grows prematurely....Thats why they all sucked, i hope...I have pics on my computer, when i figure out how to post them on here, will you look and tell me if you think my white widow is close? The branches couldn't hold the buds so i had to tie them together...Thanks man...

Hey Fdd, i'm trying to figure out how to download pics? Do i start a post and then download them, or can i drag them into the box from my desktop? Sorry to be such a pain in the arse...Looking at your pics "ready" and "not ready" i'm pretty sure mine are still not close, but i had originally about 5 days ago stopped nutes, and put 1 tbsp of molasses per gallon (2 gals) into my resevoir. I did that for about 5 days, and decided its not anywheres near close enough to start flushing...So 2 days ago, i switched back to my blooming nutes...(GH 3 part series) . All of my grows the weed looked good, and smelled good, but didn't do the trick...Except for the diesel ryder grow i did, and my first ever grow which was original lowryder...those two were the bomb....Thanks man

that looks pretty close. the calyxes are swollen, it has a "knotty" look to it. the hairs are all orange. i'd say it's just about ready. :hump::joint::joint:

You think so? Because i've got some dried and it doesn't get you stoned...I wish i could get a closer pic, because it doesn't seem to have that brown tint like those pics on the first page...I'm pretty much going to do what you say, so when do you think i should start the flush? When i used the molasses and water 5 days ago, it clogged up my system pretty quick.(water farm)..Now with the nutes, its flowing alright again...should i use just plain water? Or should i put a couple teaspons of sugar or molasses?

FDD, i forgot, the hairs on the top bud are still white? I've noticed a few of them turning orange, but for the most part they are still white...All the other branches are mostly orange though...
