Well, my Kush will finish first, and I know I got at least 4 weeks, but if the sun and rain doesn't cooperate........

Just got back in from tending the tents. I cut a few of the heavy colas that were ready and hung them up for tonight in my mixing area to let the leafs and branches run what they can in the buds after cutting. Tomorrow, they go to the drying room after I finish trimming leaves. The rest of the flower tent still needs some time, so I just adjusted everything into the light again and let them keep getting fat like the tops below. The tent picture was taken after the colas were removed. 
How much do these colas weigh combined in the pic on right?

Last time I dried, I thought I was pretty safe, cool and what I thought decent RH, but I was losing a gram every 2-3 hours.

Well, I weighed the colas that are hanging in the picture. Bak said 20 oz, I said 14 oz. The actual weight is 12.5 oz still wet. Got them trimed up now and hanging in the drying room with fans. I wish I could have waited until Tuesday (new scope camera), but it turned out well when I put the colas under the 30x with my elbows on the table. Trichs were about half cloudy, 20% brown, and about 30-40% mixed milky cream. As you can see in the tent picture, I did'nt even take that much from the plants. Now they can finish without those sun blinders in the way (lol).

How many hours were they hanging before you weighed, just curious.....Well, I weighed the colas that are hanging in the picture. Bak said 20 oz, I said 14 oz. The actual weight is 12.5 oz still wet.

Hey there Bak. They have been hanging for about 18 hours. These will dry pretty quick, as they were definately ready. I'm amazed at the growth and ripening I can see from 24 hours in the tent after I cut some colas. Two of the many colas left in the tent are showing pistols shrinking and browning that were white when I cut. They are not showing any stress either. Peace dude!

Be careful the first 12 hours at least in the jars, if they are drying that fast bro.Hey there Bak. They have been hanging for about 18 hours.

That most likely is an extreme case of what happened to me.
I thought my last one was OK after 4 days (March I think), and jarred them, but was glad that I didn't just ignore them, I went to check after a couple hours, and the moisture had started to come out from the centers, so I had to keep dumping out, rotating, and shuffling around every 2-3 hours for the next couple days, then I was able to start burping.
If the same thing happens to you, they will start smelling like shit as they start giving off gasses at about a week and half, but they'll start smelling better after the third week.

Wow...my scope camera showed up today, instead of Wednesday. I'm trying to figure it out, but I do know that you have to be very very still with the camera, have it very close for 30x, and still be able to push the picture button. I did get a tripod microphone stand that is helping alot, but I'll have to test it some more. These are my first attempt. Sorry for the blurry pictures...I'll figure it out. What do these trichs look like?

The camera is Model SVP DM540. I got mine off Amazon. So far, I love it! I will get better with it, but it's pretty user friendly and they include the batteries to get you going right away. I would recommend that you also purchase an optional SD card (under $10 for 8gb, which is all I needed). I am able to carry this tiny camera out to the tents, take onsite pictures, and then upload them to my computer and here. Peace

I hope you are high dude, but I have to tell ya that I added the link as an edit after you posted (lol). Yes, that's it. I am totally stoned too. If you want to gamble, you can probably get it on ebay for around $50 without the SD card. I was in a hurry to get it and I see why now. Takes ALL the guessing out of the game and now I can be exact, based on my interpretation of "ready". Take a look at my trichs please and give me an opinion. There are two right here and 3 more a couple of replies back. WORD
