If its that easy and only a weed it wouldn't require a 20 step process to dry and cure would it? Usually its the people who start name calling and slinging insults when disagreed with are the the ones with fragile egos.
It takes a 40 step process to put together an Ikea chest of drawers....

Honestly, i do worry about what THC does to people's aspirations sometimes.

Anyway, whatever makes you happy guys. I'm sure i'm just missing something and it's me that has the problem. Hopefully one day i can realise the full wonders of growing a plant in a tent. :)

So that's what you come back with?

It's the crazy thing about the internet isn't it? Someone makes a comment stating "use trail and error" and another makes a thoroughly detailed explanation of the drying and curing process, and guess who the average Jo public thinks has a better point?

"Tweaking" is of course necessary, 72 hours with the tent closed will do no harm whatsoever, and the OP lives in Scotland, as do i, hence the Scottish flag in his avatar. Once the jars are at 62% the RH will only go one way...down, and the difference between 62% and 57% is hardly worth focussing on unless your a muppet that belives 2% over 60% is going to mean mould.

I have a friend who repeatedly asks me why i bother posting on these forums. There is very little actual knowledge here, it seems to serve only as a place to inflate peoples egos.

Regardless of what growers may think, this hobby is as easy as riding a bike. It's not an achievement to grow a plant that grows naturally if you just throw a seed in a bit of dirt. And this becomes the problem....that everyone thinks they have their own special method that they've worked on for years because they want to overcomplicate a simple process and try to make out they are somehow a really talented person.

Seriously, it's a weed.....Get a job.

There are simple, tried and tested methods for making sure cannabis is dried and cured properly, a long dry and a regulated RH during curing are the bottom line.

Now if you really think that the process i have laid out doesn't work, that's fine, i couldn't care less, but whos information do you think is more valuable to the original question for a newbie?

Honestly, i wonder why i bother with these forums sometimes. It's like playing a game of chess with a pigeon.....utterly fruitless.
I do have to say though that a lot of people jump on here looking for quick and fast answers to their problems instead of taking a little time to do a little research and maybe find the answer that is suited right for them. I am constantly reading articles and threads to questions I have and usually I can find an answer pretty easily after a little looking. Lots of information out there to be had if someones looking for it. I do know that on a lot of these forums new growers questions get smothered by arguments or people's opinions on how they do things. Pretty sure then new growers get even more confused. There are a lot of useful tips on here but sometimes its better to just go do a bit of research.

I post on these forums because I love the plant and because there is so much bad info, mythical nonsense and bro science 8)

I've got several teaching threads here for new growers I simply love spreading the truth

though I do admit it's like trying to fight a tornado with a nerf gun
Good helpful information in those threads too if people take the time to do some Reading.

For sure. Also if hanging whole plant it takes longer. I take it down to branches. Just trying to point out it is different for everyone. Trying to give some one a set list is asking for trouble in my opinion. You give the basic outline and let the individual figure it out. I think we've all probably taken someone's advice at some point and had a bad experience. It happens and you learn from it.

True, although there is also a lot of misinformation around this subject. My issues come from overcomplicating what is, at it's core, a very simple process, which as i've said, i think only comes from individuals desire to inflate their own egos. I think this can be said for most hobbies, and most forums on the internet.

You are right though, research is vital.

That thing says to wait 10-14 days. I been doing every 10%'rh add a day +1. So if my rh is 50, that's 5 days +1. How long are you guys hanging for?

I tried to go longer got a jar rh of 40, so I tend to be around 5-7 days hang. That's with temps of around 75 no direct wind blowing.

The packs from what I understand are for very long time storage. Also it helps if you do go below the 65% mark to use, I like to use orange peels.

My advice is to read read read, watch YouTube :)

Growing anything does come down to simple list of things but has so many different variables and user differences and experiences.

Depends if you hang the whole plant, and as mentioned, your own environment.

Yes, Boveda packs are aimed at long term storage, but i would be careful using them for that as some say they remove taste and smell over long periods. I personally just use them to balance the RH at 62% then remove them completely and monitor the RH with a hygrometer from then on.

There's a bloody drying and harvesting section on this site OP, for Gods sake do a bit of homework and then ask questions.
Yep and doesn't it also say "Before you harvest keep in darkness for 3 days" and that is the exact problem with just copying and pasting information.

Bollocks gets recycled because no one questions it and at the end of the day this should be a community of growers not a community of sheep.

I'm not sure if that implies the post i made, but i don't say to keep in darkness for 3 days personally, my method chops the plants at the end of the dark period (although some may contest this too), then leaves them hanging whole, upside-down, for 72 hours, without opening the tent. At no point do i think it's a good idea to leave the plants in darkness for 3 days before the chop.

The "don't open the tent" thing is a bit OTT i must admit.

I'm not sure if you were referring to my post though, so it may be a moot point.

just did so in another thread 8)
I'm more than happy to learn about this, but rather than take up your time.....bottom line, do you think it makes a big difference?

I might just chop at the end of the light cycle and give it a go....i doubt it can do much harm regardless. :)

if you don't flush for 3 months and give your plants 2 weeks of darkness and only trim your sugar leaves harvest day and turn your fan on reverse to push out the intake holes and buy every part of the AN product line, then your shit is going to suck
