New pics, they are in day 5-6 of flush, thinking about chopping them by the end of the week, we already pulled a few small nugs and it is very good smoke, it smelled very "planty" or kinda like the smell of damp weed, so i guess we need to cure it better.

so for drying, we are thinking of simply hanging them from a wire with a fan blowing on them, is this ok?

after a few days of fan drying, then its to the ball jars.

this will be my first attempt at curing and drying, so any advice on how to do this properly is greatly appreciated.

today we chopped 3 of them down, the are so ridiculously sticky, i got a pretty large ball of thc resin off trimming just 3 of these.

I am drying in my closet, with not alot of air circulation because i read that fast drying makes the buds taste harsh and "green"

I am looking for a nice, slow, even dry, and then they head into the ball jars to cure for another week.

Any tips on drying we have had them hanging in my closet for the past few days, they still smell really "leafy" or "planty" and not that sugar sweet dank smell yet, how do we bring that out?

I heard not to speed dry too fast, we dont have any fans blowing on them although we got a dehumidifier which keeps it around 40%

leave dry in closet till you see/hear the branch snap. after that put them loosley into mason jars are burp about 2-4 times a day for 10-20 mins each time, if possible try to keep them in the dark... after about a week of that then burp about twice a day, do that till the smell begins to come out....if they get too dry then throw a leaf in there a close the lid. This will re-moisten them...there are many ways to cure, this is my way, some use paper bags etc....

Fine looking buds for your first grow! I'm growing some Strawberry Cough this run for the first time, and your report is inspiring. Hope you enjoy.
