++Manicure/Drying/Curing++ What did you do??

I am nearing the end of my grow and it is now time to choose the best possible method for drying and curing. I have read tons and tons of posts and threads on RIU and they al differ. I know everyone is different as well as every plant, but I would just like some input on methods you have used that proved well. Not looking for anything crazy, just how you air dried, and how long you did that for, how you cured, and how long. I have heard paper bags, jars, open, quick drying methods ( none of that), and some goofy stuff. I plan to flush for about the last week or two and then chop. Please let me know what worked for you so I can hopefully formulate a win win finished harvest. Thanks all.

Also, how you give rep to other members? I would gladly start hooking people up for their awesome advice. Peace and Love

I hang mine in a dark warm 22 deg place than when the stAlk just snap take it and do fine trim than jar it or bag it for two weeks opening it for a hour a day till it's just right for my people some like it drier than others

when ready to harvest the plant leave the plant in its pot and cut off all major fan leafs meaning a leaf with no trichs and any leaf tips that may have trichs on them like half the leaf has them and have of it doesnt so take the part with none off. then cut the plant right at the stock and hang it upside down in a dark room that has air circulation. i dont know the temps their supposed to dry at , i would say 65-75 degrees shoul be fine but im not sure about the temps. then just let it dry check it every day or 2. it usally takes me 5-7 days to dry all the way. u will know its dry if u take a stem and break it if it snaps its ready to be manicured just do so with a pair of good trimmers and trim off all the leafy material and the stems, save this to make hash. then toss em in a air tight jar for cureing , if its bendy it means its still wet and let it go for a day more or so. after they go into the jar open it every day cuz their will be some moisture left over and it causes mold. let it sit open for mabye 3 mins with lid off every 24 hours also move the buds around somtimes in their. and the longer the cure the better kinda like alcohol. also if u cure for a long period of time i read its best to do so in a mild temp in the dark so it doesnt degrade the weed.

Harvest time....... a tutorial.

click that link its the best one on harvesting i like my way but this one is great to i am doing both on my upcoming harvest


sorry its not a link just type it in to the search bar

I cut off and hang the individual branches because the buds dry quicker without all of the water in the stems. For trimming I cut off the fan leaves at the main stalk and either trim close or not depending on how frosty the bud is. Then I put the buds in a jar when they're just about dry.
