Very few strains are ready before 9 weeks into flip so I’d say 2-3 weeks

Also Don’t flush it has been lab proven to do nothing but hurt end product

The last 2 weeks of flower are when u get the most weight,terps and resin our of them...when u flush your starving them, it’s like working out and going hone and not eating ...your killing their gains bro...when u starve them during a flush they pull nutrients from the leaves and put them into the bus so at the end of the day no amount of flushing is going to remove that nutrients out of the buds it will always be their my dude it’s finally proven now...that study was done in a multi million dollar facility by individuals who make six figures a year this was not a study done in somebody’s basement

What about total darkness for 24-36hrs prior to harvest. Is there anything to that?

Lab proven no their is not.....I can tell you this when it comes to9 growing unless theirs lab proof of something don’t believe it.....people still boil their root balls thinking it boost production of thc lol...however heat is proven to evaporate terps and speed degradation of thc so last 2 weeks major growers (people how pull million dollar crops) lower their temps down to the 64-66f range to prevent this from happening....even eerily in flower any temps past 75f you will have terps evaporating off your plants threw out flower fans help minimize this evaporation...iv personally seen on one plant that only one side of her was getting direct fan contact had bone dry buds to the touch except for the few tops getting hit by the fan that where sopping wet with resin because they where cooler and it slowed down the evaporation process

I'd give it ~2 weeks more.

Well I chopped as of today! Absolutely beautiful. What’s an average dry time hanging. Hanging the whole plant not trimmed. Have vacuum seal lids for my cure. Do I still need to burp them with out the presence of oxygen?

They would've been better if you'd waited longer. How long it takes to dry will depend on your conditions.

I second Padawan in waiting but I don’t want you discouraged. Atleast from your pictures they mostly appear milky rather than clear, and milky

That is a shame IMO, I would have waited a bit longer but still looks very nice so good job. You still need to burp when curing, it needs O2 and also need to be opened up for moisture to escape. Hope it turns out great for you.

On a side note, I’ve always dry trimmed and hung four days roughly then into jars. Which is subsequently my least favorite part of the grow 90+ jars every few hours is a biarch for the first couple days. I can’t bring myself to try any other methods.

Since when does thc break down into cbd? Not trying to be a dick or anything I'm just interested.

Maybe he meant CBN?
