A good cure def improve the flavor, smell, and potency. But aside from that, my only advice is that you save all your trim (3 plants worth), and cook it down into about a stick and a half of butter, and make some choc chip cookies. So easy and well worth it. I like smoking, but I swear eating cannabis can get you seriously medicated. Try it! Otherwise...good job!

Here is an easy way to make the butter. Use one and a half stick of butter, and a pot of water, and cook your trim (simmer) for about 45min to an hour in the butter. Then strain the mixture through a coffee filter or cheese cloth, or something similar, into a bowl. Squeeze out as much of the melted butter and water as you can. Set the bowl in the fridge until the butter solidifies, and seperates from the water. The butter will turn a nice bright green, and harden on the surface making it easy to simply scoop it off the top. Add the butter to a instant cookie mix. I like Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker Choc chips. Bake as the directions call for. If you never ate cannabis before, I would eat no more than 3 cookies, and wait a few hours before eating anymore. The effect can be delayed, but when it comes on, you can get serious couchlock. Try it, you'll like it. Anyway, just thought it would be nice to try if you hadn't already. Peace.

Have patience when it comes to these ladies. Your plants look gr8. Rule of thumb....when it looks done,wait a week! Like stated above,you will be super surprised how much more they fill in.

Hey guys, just a little update...

...drying buds for few days and yesterday i found mold on the biggest one. (It was because of low temperatures in my room over night...)
I cut out all the "infected" area, it wasn't that bad actually (2 grams).

I also had first smoke from my first ever harvest and it was great.

I never had anything different but Jack Herer, which gave me full body high.
Red Dwarf gives me powerful cerebral high but I don't feel tired/lazy/etc.

I will harvest the rest of plant #1 today/tomorrow and as I know better now...Mold has no chance winning this time
Plant #2 is looking better/bigger every day, when I get home I'll take some pictures of her
