First time harvesting..need advice

Hey, So my dwarves are finally ready to be "snipped"...I was wondering if anyone wants to give me advice?? Retain the THC leaves to be used for hash oil once all my plants are done? And should I trim the leaves off when its still wet, and then not have to worry about it when its dry? And as for drying? hang upside down in a well ventilated closet and let them get nice and dry until the stem snap easily?

Then into a paper bag and open it up a couple times a day? for 2 weeks?

If someone could give me a timetable of what i should do for the next fews weeks it'd be great/

Example:
Week 1 or Days 1-10 ___________
Week 2 or days 11-20 ___________ Etc....

Thank you!

Plenty of stuff in the harvesting and curing section mate if you pop in for a look, you've got the idea though, hang upside down for about a week or until the stem snaps, them into glass jars for 1-2 weeks opening 2-3 times daily for 30 mins to allow fresh air in then smoke it up.

Ok so i can use a jar as well? I thought a car would cause mould to from due to lack of "breatheability" you would find in a paper bag....Sounds good tho. THx!

yea this way, hang up sid edown for couple of days tho then cure in jars open regulary each day till the bud is evenly dry, show us pics

Ok thanks for the advice...I cut them, trimmed off the leaves (saving them..drying in a shoe box)....

Now i hung the dwarf buds (see pics) and I await!

lol those are cute little buds hehe.

hahah i know...they're dwarf plants...so not much bud...but mind you for their height they got thick....

I hope my skunks do better.

my friend told me that doing a slow dry/cure in the fridge in a jar (whipeing it out dayly) will help the smoke better

so dry them out in the closet first, and then after theyre good to go, throw them into a jar and do the curing in the fridge??? Hmmm..sounds odd but might work...Anyone ever hear about this?

hang dry first,then begin the curing in a jar process,,dry them till there dry on the outside and SLIGHTLY moist and sticky in the middle,(the stem should be dry enough by then),,,then place in a airtight jar and air it out a few times a day,,store in a cool dark place inbetween,,peace
