Ok, My plants have one week left and i had a couple small branches break off and one medium sized one, so i hung them to dry, but the bud isnt that dense and is drying quickly, so i was thinking when I cut the whole plant just to hang the whole thing instead of branch by branch for like 4 days and then cut each branch off until the stem snaps and then put them into jars... I do however have a couple plants with very dense colas so maybe cut off these colas?

Any info on this is appreciated thanks!!! This is my first harvest!

When you take it down manicure it and cut it off the main stem. Its not gonna get any denser because you left it attached to the main stem....
Next time use Snow storm ultra during flowering. It will make then dense!!!!!!!!! Use snow storm as a foliar spray. Like 2 ml per quart.

Its hard to trim buds unless you cut them branch by branch and you do want to trim before hanging to dry.

Well I just read it will pull more moisture from the main stem and thus take longer to dry out? what can i do if my buds are drying to fast? I am scared to use a humidifier

why are you worried about your buds drying too fast? i'd be fuckin stoked. cut each branch separately and manicure immediately. not manicuring immediately will give you a harsher smoke once evenly dried....

You want your plant to dry slow so it can do all the chemical processes and stuff is what i hear... its drying in 2-3 days i want it to dry in 5-7.

And im well aware that this wont effect density the density effects the time it takes to dry that is why i brought that up... Im in Minnesota and its almost winter average temps are in the 30's-50's so I don't know if this is considered dry?? should i use a humidifer in this climate?
