Mould if you have mould on any bud then close down the shop and get the room right keep a close eye on the metres and then you will not get mould

ok sounds good. but how do you technically know 100% that no mold will grow? i believe, if i am not mistaken, that things like mold, fungus, etc. can grow virtually anywhere that any moisture is present long term, especially if food is available like would be in plant matter. so why would none grow on moist bud?

Nice write up, that's how you tell when to harvest. I wish more people would read this and go put their microscopes and loupes away.

Drying and curing is made out to b a very scary ordeal imo for a newbie.after a successful grow to a noob that's never done it before it can b a very daunting experience when in fact it is imo one of the more easier parts of successfully completing a grow as long as the 3 main rules r followed 1(drying)as most people will tell u hang either your full plant or as I prefer to hang the branches in a cool dark place obviously keep an eye on temps and rh as has been mentioned in the very first post I won't go into it in to much detail temp low 20s and rh 50-60 as long as your at least near those sort of numbers then no probs should occur this will take probably the best part of a week.It should b dry enuff that u can still bend one of the smaller branches and not snap it this is probably the time which the most care should b taken as overdrying is irreversible so a couple of checks a day should b made.2 curing this is where people debate whether to use the bags or straight into jar personally I like to trim the bud off the branches straight into a brown paper bag brown because the white ones have bleach and crap in them only fill them half full to still allow a small amount of air to circulate then leave them in them for 2 days opening a couple of times a day for half an hour and even giving them a little shake to loosen the buds that like to stick together .3 when the bags have took a good bit of the moisture out of the bud they should feel crispy on the outside but still spongy when given a gentle squeeze this means they r ready for the jars mason jars is wot most people call them but basically they r jars for keeping preservatives in jam and things I'm in the UK and found the 2ltre ones for £2 a jar cheap as chips again only three quarters fill them to allow the process to work store them in a dry dark place and open them for 15 mins a couple of times a day for the first week then once a day for the next week or so By this time your bud will b getting its smell back and actually well smokable but after that period has elapsed it's all down to preference as to how long u keep them in the jars it's definitely the longer the better but by then your bud should b ......wots the word....everything FUCKING DANK MAN..

now we wait.......

HEY FDD2BLK, my name is Colin, I've been growing and reading your posts since 14. (I am 21 now.) I am a cancer survivor and I want to thank you, you helped to save my life by teaching me so much through your tutorials and guides. It is only recently that I have joined RIU, because I wanted to respect the guidelines, but I have been wanting to personally thank you for many years now for helping me to grow the medicine that has saved my family members' lives, and my own life. THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE, FDD.

please do not post in this thread until you see the happy plumber. thanks.


i've been trimming for 12 hours non stop so please bear with me.


we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.


not ready..........

now it's time to start cutting. i never cut the whole plant. i'm working with large plants so i don't want to bite off more than i can trim. i typically take 1 to 2 branches at a time. i start where the plant appears to be ripest. by cutting only one branch i can stop at any time. if i start trimming and decide i may be a little early then i just stop. i also do not like to EVER lay my buds down for prolonged periods. it causes the leaves to stick to the bud and becomes difficult to trim.


so i start with 1 branch....View attachment 29331


i trim it down to manageable sized pieces. i find a lot of fatigue when trimming is from trying to hold up huge limbs while trimming. i like mine small.....View attachment 29332


i like to leave little handles......View attachment 29333
