nice, easy 2 read and understand
some people keep them as whole branches others cut them down to little nugs. i cut mine down to a comfortable size to hold while trimming. i use small hand held clippers to trim the bigger branches.fdd....this may be a newb ? but when you cut them down to nugs does that include the big colas?...and if so how do u cut those big colas?
I thought you used one of thesesome people keep them as whole branches others cut them down to little nugs. i cut mine down to a comfortable size to hold while trimming. i use small hand held clippers to trim the bigger branches.
Yea to long and they will dry out and loose alo't of flavor/smell...Follow fdd's way and everything will turn out goodHey FDD! Thanks for showing us a simple but logical way to trim! I always enjoy your posts! I've used your method but only on a smaller scale. I move my buds to burping when the stems bend but the bud smokes too. I waited too long once and lost a lot of taste and flavor! BTW I like to preserve the kolas in about 8" sections and smoke em' at the end of the jar but with my small grows I only have 3-4 tops. lol
Hey FDD, you once put a pic up of a plant that was tied down during late flowering, it was all yummy lookin. For the life of me i cant find it. I just wanted to see it again to compare to my plants to see just how much longer i should wait.
thanks man.
does not matter both ways are fine,its all personal preference...Try different ways until find something that suits your needs...but fdd's method is very good,and try reading page one lolmy question is, do you hang the plant, or do you just hang the buds? I've been told both any times.. so i'm lost.. and do you cut the plant down, pull it out by teh roots or what?
When you say now we wait, umm the newb wonders about how long a day or longer (before moving on to the next step)?now we wait.......
i like to let the outside of the bud get crispy but not the stem. i like to start the cure with the stems still bendy. i let the bud dry until it is smokable. if i can smoke a doobie and it stays lit yet the stems still bend without snapping then i know i am at the perfect time. i cut all my large branches and buds down to small nuggies.........

Is it Ok to cure in big ziplock freezer bags?? or is the extra money worth it for the jars.
The hard part for me is i need enogh jars to hold like 10(ish)pounds? What is the verdict?
