prolly the ones that are saying it'ss all the same are smoking way too much and only get a light buzz.


Now that i vape much less i can really appreciate the different effects

That post wasn't directed you but, to hilbie. I agree with you that different strains look, smell, taste and affect you differently. Weed is like dogs. You've got Chihuahuas, Great Danes and everything in-between.

My point to you was/is that 10 days is not enough. Lock them up for a month or two and try again.

Hello,
Sorry! Sometimes My VR Gets Confused. Hey A Far Out So Do I! Lol

1 Question, Many Times I've Read Where Someone Talking About Their Harvest Would Say "...... & A Week In Jars They'll Be Ready". Something Close To That But It Was A Week. I Understand About The Longer The Better.

At First I Thought The Jar Part Wasn't Really That Important. But I Know Better Now. I'd Try A Taster Cough & Hack Every Hit. It Got Almost To The Point Of I Started Cutting Back. Then Tried It Again 7 +/- Days It Was Way Smoother No Hack But Coughed At Times. I Know The Jars Are Miracle Workers But I Don't See How It Can Heighten The Smell & What The Smell Should Be (Blueberry, Lemon Etc.)
Happy Holidays FB!

:thanks:

Good point Chef, I missed the cat piss statement. For surely longhair, you put them in the jars too wet. Take them out and let them dry more right now. If you leave them in there, they will mold or start to turn a yellowish tint. I have put buds away wet more than once. Next time try trimming your stuff right after chop. Make 2 piles, fan leafs and sugar leafs. This is the only trim you will do, so do not leave anything extra. Use the trim to make BHO or whatever you like. I now like to trim extra well right away, better results and much easier to do when wet.

I also think dry time is a key factor. Too long, you loose smell and taste. Too fast, same thing. Bud density is very important, stems hold alot of water. You may think they are dry, but they are not. That will ruin your cure. Like I said before, I would rather re hydrate than loose a jar to mold...and I have! I think a good trim and quicker dry seals in flavor and taste better than a longer dry....that is my opinion. I like my buds dry, as they will be vaporized anyways. You can always re-hydrate, but you cannot take mold away. Good luck.

Hello,
I'll Check It Out. I Open The Jars 15 min. A Day. Every Three Days I Empty The Jars Lightly Spread Them Out For 1/2 hr. Then Back In Jars. I Understand About Mold It Sucks.

At Harvest They Were Hung 7-10 Days, Then Bagged Them For I Think 3 Days. After Buds Were Cut Off All Branches & Jarred.
What Do You Mean "A Quicker Dry"?
Thank You For Your Help!

Instead of going straight to a jar why not use a shoe box with a few breathing holes. Put it in the top of a dark closet and fluff it every few days until the stems snap instead of bend.
Then you're ready for a jar. Remember to burp it every 10 days or so for a month or two. Then leave it alone until needed.:smokeit:

Longhair,
I use a drying cabinet, with a little airflow. I trim very well, and when the stem SNAPS they go in jars. Time depends on density of buds and stems. If the stem does not actually Snap in 2, they are not ready. The slight airflow in the cabinet speeds up the drying time, I personally think it seals in the flavors better than a long slow dry. To each is own, but it works for me. When you have 20 jars to look after, it is much easier to re hydrate, than to get the moisture back out. Good luck.

'Move to Holland' n Try some proper WEED!!!!

'Move to Holland' n Try some proper WEED!!!!

I can see that some people aint had the pleasure of variety!, or lived in somewhere like Holland, where the flavours & aromas of our sacred herb are so unbelievably diverse it beggers belife'. So Many different Strains So Many different Aromas and Flavours. Oh how i miss 'Den-Haag' and various other Towns & Citys in the Netherlands for that matter. Last Time i was there i sampled some Szechuan/Szechwan Skunk-Cannabis Chinenssis(sorry about the exact spelling) A Very Brown Sticky Bud of chinese/china origin, very nice to be honest.
People going on about how boring herb is shouldent even bother coming on 'IC' whinning on about how crap & boringly similar it all is- Yeah right, "GET A LIFE" go live in Holland for a period of time & then get back to us when you've been educated - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! Nuff Said!!!!!!!!

Be-Lucky People.................Scroger!:eggnog:
 
it is quite obvious that anybody who thinks all herb is the same just doesn't know most of us on the forum or he wouldn't even ponder this absurd notion, hahaha. the business world is not the only place where who you know matters.....even then, WHAT you know also could not hurt. seems Someone here lacks both/either qualities.....

as for the curing/burping/jar thing.....i swear by wet - dry ratios. read my signature link under yield/production. the best rule of thumb is to have about 25% of wet weight at end of cure. any more or less is acceptable, but not ideal......too wet = mold, too dry = loss of brittle THC & shake. so, 25% of wet weight is your best bet Longhair. it simplifies things a great deal too to just go by the ratios.

When you've sealed it for the last time & think it can't possibly NOT be ready by now?
Check & burp it 2 more times lol ;)

Me... I slow dry (as much as ambient allows) finish in paper sack/box, jar it, check in < 12hrs, burp or rehydrate as needed. MUCH better to err on the dry side in IME.

It took me a long time to get my cure down. I was always trying to keep as much moisture as possible without molding to keep my buds as heavy as possible. I eventually figured it out with patience and trial and error and realized how retarded I was before. Now if I ever am uncertain of how long dry before starting my cure, I take branches off the drying line break them into smaller branches and keep them in turkey bags not totally closed for a few days. The buds and stems will be able to have access to air, but slowly. After a few days when stems snap and buds are almost crispy I separate buds from stems and throw in Jars or what ever, sometimes they stay in turkey bags but get closed tight. Good genetics properly grown should already taste good by then. After at least another 2 or 3 week in the jars opening after a few days if needed to check for moisture then sealed for the remainder your weed is cured.
Sorry to post all that, but I figured the dude who started this might be confused about drying and curing and may benefit from the explanation.
But hilbie, for real you said some rediculous things about no distincion between stains. Have you noticed nobody agreed with you on a website forum for marijuana enthusiasts?

Mr thin skin needs to take his own advice. Spout ignorant nonsense in a room of educated people, you have to expect to take some licks.

I go by either the snap of the stem or the feel of the buds. If the buds feel spongy, do not put them in jars. Once they are dry and firmer, them put them in the jars.

Hello,
This Thread Was To Be About My Grows. If You Haven't Read It Please Do.
So I Chop A Plant & Weigh It? When Weighing Wet What About The Extra Parts (Trim)? How Long & Often To Check? So Over A Period Of Time I Will Have To Handle It Multiple Times For Weighing?
Is It Just A Guess Like Trich Colors?

:thanks:

Trich colors is not really a guess. Just look at multiple parts of the plant, if you check often you should be pretty accurate.

Weighing wet bud is a waste of time and just another opprotunity to loose crystals. The less you fondle your plants while drying the better IMHO. It is what it is, when it is dry. But whatever floats your boat. You will learn Longhair, and if in doubt go with the SNAP of the stem. Some people like more moist buds, but I vape...so I like mine dry anyways. If you dry a little too much, just stick a fresh leaf off a plant in the jar for the night...will soak up the moisture overnight. Good luck!!
