So, this is my first time growing anything let alone cannabis. I really winged this out if the gate but really think I did something right. Only thing I would have changed was not starting so late (outdoors, mid June). Anyways, I've read tons now but am just freaked out at making it this far and possibly screwing up the harvest/curing process. More so the cure as harvesting seems like it's just going to be a pain rather then a science. I'm really after some nice buds and don't mind a super long wait.
My question is. Can I take a bud (way early), trim it, closet dry it for a few days and then start my mason jar curing process? I don't expect to get high from it, but mainly want to see if I can get a hard, smelling great bud without losing my entire crop. Or does my plant need to mature way more to get a good idea?
Also, at what point does the chlophil smell start going away? Is that after it starts curing in the jar or should it be gone during the closet dry period?
Lastly, can someone point me in the direction of a cheap magnifier that is perfect for checking my trichs color?
Thanks guys and gals. You rock!
