Harvest Time: A Tutorial

Its been a treat watching her grow! Now I don't have the best set up and didn't want to drop a lot of cash since its first and I wanted to just get my feet wet so to speak. Anyways I was hoping you might be able to help me out? I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures so hopefully I can get them on here soon

moisture can be a welcome thing! after dried I take an atomizer (like a perfume sprayer) and lightly coat about an ounce. I then put in into a small tin can and leave it in a dark damp place for about 1-2 weeks or until it has a light coat of mold ( yes mold) then I take it and stir it a few times and let it cook once more (couple of days) then it needs a little dry time and presto .. black mertha ! ready for the doobie. wow psychedelic momma, I coming home!!

I would recommend that you stop this. Moisture/mold...never welcome. It sounds like you're culturing enough mold on your bud to cause some seriously adverse health effects. If you continue to do this, you will develop fungal infections in your mouth, throat, lungs...they will then spread systemically. Your immune system will become compromised, rendering you defenseless against any sort of opportunistic pathogen. Basically, consistently ingesting mold will make you very sick, if it hasn't already. It appears that your are aware it is in fact mold that you are culturing, and consciously smoking it...if you ever furnish your meds to others, I hope you inform them that you are deliberately smoking mold so that they may decide for themselves whether or not to compromise their health...hopefully now that you are informed you will cut this out and inform anyone else that you might have told to do this that it is a very bad idea.

the leaves with resin get saved for bubble hash. the big fan leaves go into the compost bin. i burn the stalks.
Might want to watch burning the waste... Multi million dollar operation here in jersey went down for just that. They were moving lots of grandaddy purps

fdd so when you trim up and hang to dry approx. how long? understanding bud density will play apart. Going from hanging to jars again approx. how long do you cure for in jars? That is the process that gets the "Homegrown" taste out right.

Hey another great Thread.Thanks for your input.

hang for a week or so. however long it takes for it to dry. it stays in the jars until it gets smoked.

I want my finished product to be firm but spongey. I don't really like DRY weed. My first harvest, I hung in the closet for like a week till they were crispy, and the stem was very close to the point where it snapped like a twig. I then jar cured in a dark, cool place for 2 weeks... I wasn't impressed. The buds were potent, but still smelled too much like cutgrass, and were too dry for my liking.

What could I have done wrong? I REALLY want this harvest to be right. Not just get smokable pot, but I wanna be impressed.

anyone have a good easy recipe for newbies making hash out of the trike leaves? I don't have screens for bubble hash, anyone with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

I usually use the QWISO method. Works great. Just be patient during the drying. Don't use a heater, and when you think it's dry, wait even longer.

Just do a search for QWISO. I don't wanna turn this harvest thread into a hash tutorial.
