Befor You Read This. It a Little Long but Please Read it All I Need. Help!

Can someone please let me in on some good simple ways that i can get a nice finished product.i've done like 8-9-10 grows now and i dont really have a system for drying harvesting and curing. pretty much ive have been focusing how the plant is grown, well the time has come were i have some what of an idea on what to do and i need just simple ways growers dry.

What i know:
flush, wait, flush, wait, cut (after 24 hr dark period), cut, hang, cure.

What i don't know:
how much water do i use to flush in soil, how long do i wait between flushings, how long do i flush, after u cut how long do i hang, then how do you cure without jars, whats the best way to cure with jars and how long should i cure.

im sure there is a sticky for this but i thought if somone could some up "what i dont know" on this thread i could have a good starting point.thanks.

Hang dry your whole plant for a week and then trim it. You will see

...so cut then hang then trim then cure?

Thats what I do. Many people trim wet cause its easier. Perfection isnt easy....

Look for riddlemes thread called the truth about drying and curing, or its named something like that

Trimming is easiest when buds are freshly cut. If you are working with volume, then of course you'd have to hang and dry first. The first 24-72 hrs is critical though. Dry too fast and you have that 'minty homegrown' taste. Dry too slowly invites mold. This period in my mind, is what I would call the 'curing'.
I keep my RH high during flowering ~55%. Too high for most people, however I also cure my buds in my flower room hanging in vented cardboard boxes. I've found that this gets my RH inside the box to ~65 to 70%. After about 7-10 days, they are dry enough to bag/jar.
I run EC around 1.2 and don't flush.

My medicine smokes smooth.

Relative humidity is the key.

What he said. If your buds are drying in less than a week, you're drying too fast. Higher humidity = slower drying. But as he said, at a certain point you're inviting mold. That's not really an issue here in Colorado, but I don't know where you're from flowermaster.

well i havent had a mold problem so far...what are some reasons buds dontt taste good...ive had a few batches i didnt care for...is it the starin? or poor growing...or poor harvesting?...or all lol.

all of your questions are in the harvesting sticky thing.

^ i know i even said that my first post...thought it be easier to ask here then search 1000's of past post.

I can't help you with the flushing. As for the rest, take a look at this:

There's no easier way to cure. Dry the flowers and put them into jars, then watch the reading on the hygrometer. If the product is too wet, take it out, then jar again and watch the readings. This thread will answer every drying/curing question you have. HTH
