Just dry untill buds feel nice and dry on the outside, but the stem is still bendy or cracks (but not break)then, cut the buds off the stalk (nobody likes huge stems) and jar them for 12 hours, open the jar and empty for 30-45 mins and then jar again, repeat this for about 7-10days until there is 0%moisture, then your ready bongsmilie

I am a paper bag man... for me it’s the fastest and the best...paper bag for 24-48 hours or as needed, the jars to cure,, if too wet in thejars, back to the paper bags.. Takes me less than a week from cut to goodsmoke. I have tried the hanging method about 10 times over 30 years and neverliked it. I am not saying it bad or wrongor that paper bags are good, it’s just the way I like to dry/cure.

Just throwing this out there: Actually, some people do like big ass nugs regardless of whether or not they have to pay for the big stem... the stems are hollow and usually weigh fuck all even when they're pretty big. I like big nugs and always encourage my dealers to hook me up with the biggest nugs they can. The density of bigger nugs and the extra trapped thc that would be lost to more oxygen exposure and/or agitation on the outsides of each bud section are totally worth it. I might have misunderstood what you meant in the sense that obviously no one wants stem that has no bud on it, so you got to trim small buds off a plant's stem... but I'm totally against breaking up big nugs whenever possible, even if it means keeping a big stem.

Let me know when you're getting rid of your unwanted main colas, I'll take them off your hands for you.
I'm considerate like that. :weed:

I agree I like to " Marvel" at the big buds for a few days... but it screws up drying (IMO) so I cut them all. By the time their cut,, I want to smoke.. so I dont want to make the dry/cure longer then it needs to be.
