Those of you that hang entire plants to dry… if you weigh the entire plant wet, what percentage loss in weight are you looking for before you buck the nugs and start curing?

Rosin? Mold? Something worry about?
After drying one of my plants(Auto Red Poison from Sweet Seeds) I noticed some glue like balls on some leaves. Wondering if this is a good sign, or might be caused by a poor drying environment and i have to worry about mold or something? Thanks in advance for your time.

Edible out of fresh harvest
Hi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?

Freeze dry method
I think I found a nice easy way to freeze dry. I take a half gallon mason jar full of weed that's been drying for 5 days capped. Put it in the freezer for 45 minutes. Then take the out, take the cap off, and use a USB fan to pull out the moist air. What do you guys think?

To trim or not to trim (for the dry)?
Alright, two-ish more weeks. I aim to hang her whole in a dark tent in the basement at 60 degrees/60% R.H. for two weeks once she’s ready. Should I remove the larger fan leaves? Should I trim it like it’s hot? Or do nothing but wait? Any tips on the process? Anything missin

Harvest time
Hello friends, I’m thinking about harvesting my plant on Sunday. What do you think? Trichromes are still clear on lower buds. I don’t want any amber, I’m aiming for a more energetic effect. Thanks.

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?

Bud rot harvest?
Bud rot or normal purpling underneath? First grow and harvest and found some purple when cutting off the fan leaves before hanging to dry (going to dry trim). Anything I should be looking for in particular. I don't see any other signs of mold.

How do I figure "wet" weight on this big girl?
She's been outside, so I plan to wash the buds and then do a wet cure. (using for edibles). I'm doing a rough trim before I soak her, but still have a lot of weight in branches. Is this expected for 'wet' weight? Is the final weight after fully drying and trimming? Thanks!

How do you dry your buds? Here’s my method – what’s yours?
How do you dry your buds? Do you hang them, use nets, racks, tents, boxes? Do you go for cold drying, slow & steady, or faster drying? What RH and temp ranges do you aim for and how do you tell they’re ready for the jars? Snap test, hygrometer or feel?

HAY SMELL
Buds smelling a bit like hay/wet grass! what's weird is that the fat main tops are "crispy" and smell sweet and fruity but the smaller buds are still wet and smell like hay. On day 13 of drying 60%rh 72°F. The bigger stems are starting to snap but the smaller ones only bend??
