Baggins!
Damn that looks NICE!
I think my eyelids got a little sticky-sticky
Congratulations, bro!
this post made me think you were only 30 days into flowering as of now, but now you have harvest pics. Cuz you said you were 24 days on 11-24-09 so I was confused, but yea you are 4-5 weeks ahead of me not a few days haha.
Harvest looks real nice man looks right around 3 or 4 ounces to me.

Theres a million bad ways to do it
, I haven't found a good one yet (that gives you anything like what you want that is...) The best thing is patience....that didn't really help did it?

Ok peeps!!
I have to admit now that i did dry a few little popcorn bits of bud over the heater in a paper bag to see if there was any bad taste to it! and to be honest i got no real taste at all! im thinking that thats a good thing, meaning that i cant taste no nutes so i must have flushed it all out! and im hoping that after ive let it all hang dry for a week and then cure for a week onwards that its true taste will come through!!
Ive got them hanging in front of the box as you can see in the pics with a fan blowing around in the room but NOT directly on them! The humidity is around 40% and just above and the Temp is around 20'c average!!!
Does that sound all good too you guys??
is there anything i should be doing while they dry???
Stay Strong Peeps!!1

ya I have hung the bud at the exhaust of my flowering cooltube, hot dry air moving over the bud dries it out in hours, not days.
just make sure they're all trimmed up before they become dry.

thats the age old question I quess....just try to be patient. Keep monitoring the smell, check the buds occassionaly but keep them in the dark, turn them if needs be, make sure they are drying evenly, (which they should with the conditions you got.)
peace, DST
oh, and good suggestion dbo24242!! My out exhaust is not accessible to do that though - bugger.

Well just checked my bud and all looks good!! They feel fairly dry now but the stems kinda kink rather than snap so im thinking that i should leave them hanging till sunday and then start putting them in jars ready to cure.
I have just managed to get some jars for curing time, glass ones with a rubber seal around the top and a latch to hold it closed, i think their called kiln jars! I think they should be ok for the job as they should be airtight!!!
I plan to remove as much stem as pos from the buds and then fill the jars. Wont cram them in will leave a little room in there for movement!! Then keep the jars closed, opening them once or twice a day for about half hour!!
Does that sound right??!!
What temp should i keep the jars at??
I work all day so opening them in the morning and then when i get home from work will that be enough???

Seems about right to me Baggins. I keep my jars at room temperature. Only other thing I do is put the bud in paper bags for a few days extra. Open wide at first with air flowing over them. Then I close them a little each day, then I jar them up. Seems to even out the dryness of the bud nicely.
You'll be right with opening the jars twice a day. I generally only open them for a minute, waft them about and make sure I get air into the jar. Gently shake or turn the jar to move the buds around. After the first week you can get a bit slacker about burping the jars. Everyone does things different I suppose, this is just my way.
Looking forward to hear your smoke report.

Now theres a funny story. Do you know how hard it is to find paper bags (well it was for me) I went all over the place (all the supermarkets have plastic here) I was relieved when I checked one of my spare rooms and found some paper bags from a designer boutique that my Mum had left behind when visiting....the next week (this is true) I went to my post box to collect my mail, and the local supermarket had sent everyone paper bags for a promotion they were doing....and this was after cycling around the whole of fekkin A-Dam!!! Happy dayz, I don't mind problems like that
.And Baggins, I am glad to help and appreciate your thanks. It's brilliant seeing others reeping the rewards of their labours!!!!!
