They don't have to be dry when you cut em down, just follow standard procedures. Cut em down, hang em up, cure the shit out of em. enjoy

Yeah you should be fine, just means it will take longer to dry after you cut em, but make sure you take your time with that, you are from from done after hanging them up to dry.

Try to make it last a little longer, slow drying is key. id say 1-2 weeks drying period in a place where air is constantly being renewed but there is not really any breeze on the buds. make sure its in a dark place as well. Start curing them once the stem breaks when you bend it or if it is on the verge of breaking when you bend it. At this point the buds should be dried enough. This part is going to be the toughest for a first timer but i would say check the stems and your buds every day once you hit the 1 week point.

During these days between 1 and 2 weeks you can take a small sample of bud and light it up to see how it smokes so far. If its still a little wet you can grind it up and it should burn just fine.

i plan on drying in a cardboard box with the tops open and a 3 foot oscilating fan blowing around the box

is it okay if i dry them in my room i have blankets iver the window but im in there alot and turn the lights on briefly. mabye if i cover the boxes during this time it will help? or will it be okay as long as its not dircect light?

fans will dry them out faster, wich depending on what u want is good or bad. i would hang upside down myself

they will be hanging from tape at the top of the boxes upside down

the box is about 24 inches to the bottom. going off of rosemans drying method

sounds like you could have flushed longer but it will be ok cut hang to dry from 5 to 10 days then start curing with a jar open...close... and when you harvest you should manicure before hanging to dry

im using organics so i dont need that much of a flush. Biocanna Flores and pk 13/14. thanks for all the replies guys

That cardboard box plan sounds pretty nice if you ask me, just what i was thinking.
