The UK Growers Thread!

Not sure about the light being a problem (light does degrade thc, but I reckon it's a slow process), but if your grow room is warm, your bud might dry too fast, which locks in that horrible leafy taste from the chlorophyll.
 
Keep the drying area dark, the air well circulated and exchanged with fans, the temperatures in the lower 70's and the humidity between 50-60% with a dehumidifier, if necessary. The bud will smoke smoother if it takes around a week for the moisture to evaporate, quicker drying will harshen the taste and degrade the burning properties.
 
lol, ah wish ah could( seriously i REALY REALLY REALLY wish i could) but ahm still on the fuckin ant abuse pills and it take s a week tae get them out your system. im gonny hold off to a week on saturday before i go for it, its a mates 40th. that about 17 days sober so far, the first few weeks is always difficult. ive actually got the money sitting if i wanted too, virtually debt free, so instead of blowing what ive got ive just spent 40 quid on bloody fireman sam stuff for my kid. ah well, ho hum, just another 11 days to stay sober.

i've dried both ways and now do it in the tent for convenience and the filter. doing it in the room around the tent wor lass was going off it, house absolutely stank.

chlorophyll will degrade in the cure, if it's just dried and out the door, it'll be a bit harsh to smoke, aye.

i use cooltubes though so my tent isn't too hot. at 24c it generally takes about 4 days to get it crisp on the outside but spongy on the inside. bit like armadillo's :lol: a day or two outside and its ready to jar.
 
Ultimately you want it dark as possible, but having smoked Don's weed I can say it was top drawer. The Moroccans have also been drying their weed in bails in the sun for ever.....Hand rolled Nepolese charras are also put in bags in the sun to cure before being made hash, if my memory serves me right (see The Great Book of Hashish).

In the sun? OK so that means basically they cook it (an egg cooks in about 3 minutes under the Moroccan sun). I would have thought that cooking it kind of releases the THC and then loses it, basically (unless you eat it in a cake).
 
Yes, in the sun. Tomatoes, Fruits of many types are dried in the sun and all that happens is the taste intensifies...I can't imagine why weed would be so different to other fruits.

And some happy Moroccans drying weed....in the Sun. Funny, the Moroccans in Amsterdam all have satellite dishes as well!
