is this a good way to hang and dry?

ive started to hang buds from 2 of the plants

View attachment 1260844

I hang all the main (bigger) buds by the branch anx set all the popcorn buds on a window screen. Looks like you put alot of effort into all that.

That does seem like a lot of work. I put a screw-in hook on one wall (high up), and another on the opposite wall (same height), run fishing line from hook to hook (pull it really tight), trim the buds while still on a stalk or branch, then hook the branch on to the fishing string. Line the branches all up along the string.

if that's how much you're growing then i guuuess that would work, although I think a lot of us lazy stoners would trim the colas, hang em by a lower branch and put the little buds in some kind of pan or a screen, just seems more time effective.

you got product though so your away ahead..

thats depends. Take a branch, try to brake it and youll HEAR that if breaks ->its ready, and if it snaps back into position-> wiat some more, usually it takes like a week or a bit more. Bigger the budds, slower the drying, slower the drying --> better the smoke

Well I would tell you when the stems snap but I don't see and stems. Lol. What you have there should be dry in a few days.

After dry, i put them in jars to cure for a week or so right?

yeah. dont dry them too much though... i like to err on the moister side of things, and put them in the jars right before the stem snaps. then for the first 2 or 3 days i will open them a couple of times a day for about half an hour or so. usually the first time i open the jar for the day i will also dump out the buds and put them back in to rearrange the way they sit on each other. if u think the buds are too wet after sitting in the jar, put them in the bottom of a brown paper bag for a few hours. you should notice a difference in moisture (less) within the next few days, at that point open the jars once a day for a few mins if that. its pretty much common sense really, just keep your eye out for moisture building up on the inside of the jar, and mold on the bud. DO NOT ALLOW MOLD TO GROW. after a few weeks of doing this, you should be able to seal them up and not worry about it until u feel like smoking some real fine herb.

This works easier.... lol yea thats seems like a lot of work and overkill.

Even if the dank is super dry there is moisture in the middle of the nug in the stem and will most likely always re hydrate itself in the jars.
