When to start curing?
odrexstarted grow question 3 years ago
Harvested and started drying Saturday November 27 at 6:00 PM. Chopped a few small colas and put them in a jar and the hygrometer is reading 63%. Is it okay to chop the rest and start the curing process?

Yes it is. Jar it up and start the cure. Keep jars 3/4 full and burp the jars every day for a week for 15 min. Then once a week for 15 min from there.

1st harvest your plant and let it dry for around a week before putting the buds in jars. Then open the jars a few hours a day for a few weeks, maintain between 60 and 65% rh in the jars.

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!Other.

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?Other. Mold

When I have to harvest the latest?In one week, I have to go on a trip for 5 days.
Should I chop plant now or just before the trip?
If I chop it down now, can I keep it in the air drying room for two weeks?
I read that when curing in jars, it needs to be burbed every day and I cant do that while I am away.Week 17

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?a month ago
