I harvested the tops on a couple of autos, it was a seed run so that was the priority over the smoke and I let it get good and mature even after noticing some mold forming. One of the flower spikes was dry and brown. I took the seeds out and smoked it and got absolutely blasted and it tasted like it was hash. It was pretty great.
Anyway after taking the tops I let the bottom start to finish up for a couple more more weeks and then put the plants up in the attic to dry till death before harvest in an experiment to get the rest of the plant to resemble that first flower that I'd smoked. Although the pots were pretty dry when putting them up there they continued to live for about a week and only now appear to be dying from lack of water.
I haven't tried smoking it yet so don't know if it'll be like that first sample but was wondering if anyone else has done this before? I'm guessing dry down will be almost instant when I harvest. Can probably put immediately into jars and skip hanging altogether. Will find out soon.
