Drying
VictoriaKing82started grow question 4 years ago
I'm in the drying process. It's been 5 days. Buds feels crisp but the stems don't snap they just bend. I trimmed them yesterday. Should I wait until the stems snap or jar them now?

Even if you jar it too early....just empty them out and let them dry a little more. I only harvested 6 plants and its a learning curve in that process itself. Jar it now and maybe it'll be the best shit you smoked, but from what I know, patience is a virtue when it comes to the herb 👊👌👍

thicker stems won't snap. Do the bud easily snap off vs. bend/sliver down main branch etc?
If you have 2-way humidity packs, you'll know if it was too dry if buds gain weight. If still losing weight, that's okay for the last few % of original mass in jar w/humidity pack.
if you don't, however you control environtment.. ~55-62% RH and mid-60s F... if it gains weight in that environment, it was too dry.
A little weight gain isn't so bad. It's better to lose the last few% in the controlled environment, though. Too early into jars will increase risk of microbial growth. too late impacts taste a bit. very late will ruin taste no matter how long you cure.

No flavor, smells amazing. Dry almost done, Will the flavor come through with the cure?Early test, bong: Day 13 of long hang-dry. Not much taste. Maybe some hay in the background, a slight sweet or fruity aftertaste, but is doesn't stay. I got ripped tho. It doesn't taste bad, just not good. Will the final days of dry and the cure bring the flavor through?

What is this?So this is some durban poison that I grew, great genetics, grew 3 of these and the bud turned out great... for the most part. I found this while trimming up some of the last plant. This is the main cola, this is the only spot I found this. looks like cotton.

Dry tent RH is over 70%. What do I do?How the hell do I deal with this humidity? My dry tent is stuck over 70%. I can get it down to 68% for a short time, but it's 89% humidity out today. What do I do? Shut the room lights off and open the tent door for now? Neither the AC or the Dehumidifier are enough. Help!

Last week before harvestI am looking to my last week of flower before harvest (possibly two weeks away) is there anything specific I should do prior to 72hrs darkness, chop, dry, cure? Should I completely remove all fan leaves for the last week? I'm not flushing, but should I increase a specific nute?

Trying Out GrovebagsI'm over having to burp and micromanage dozens of big mason jars. Does anyone have experience using Grovebags? I'm giving them a try this round, and so far they seem to stabilize within 58%-62% humidity. Any advice for getting the best results with them or words of warning?

Harvest or not ?Hi peeps ! Seeking your help again 😀
Previous advise was let it be for another 14/21 days, now 3 week further im planning to harvest. But no amber colour on the tricomes spotted. Is this colour really necessary? Just afraid that it will go off and it will lose strengt.

Auto flower seeking advise in when to harvestHi I’m new to this and seeking your advise. My auto flower seems to be “close” to ready but my concern is that the tricomes close to the light ( 50 cm ) are mostly amber coloured but the lower parts still seems to be growing and the tricomes are mostly still white.

Going on Vacation for 7 days, in just 10 days but three girls are in WEEK 9 of flower and still need another week. I've got options:a. Chop & hang the day I leave, ac dry in a tent for 7 days
b. A friend can water mid-week once
c. Water the day I leave but lights OFF for those 7 days
I prefer "c." for $ + safety (np running an ac for a dry tent but I'd like to cut the lights)
Any risks to this idea?
THANKS!Week 9
