I tried to rep u again for this post, lool! Anyway, good post for sure, thanks.

I agree that this post has some errors and it looks like it was put together based on mere heresay.

First of all, cops can't just detect pot plants from a helicopter...also hanging buds upside down as opposed to any other way doesn't do anything special. I would certainly recommend storing bud in mason jars especially at the smaller amounts the OP/others have. Glass > plastic. Bud can last for many years in an airtight, dark and dry and environment (not 12 months like the OP said). The last thing I can remember without reading over the post again is that many people prefer a mix of trichrome colors. All milky is not what most growers shoot for. In addition, the method is not universal and varies strain to strain; I have smoked buds with a bunch of amber trichs that were still uplifting and not couch locky at all and vice versa. That being said, this method used in conjunction with swollen calyxes (not hair colors, again,as the OP said) is a good way to determine ripeness.

I appreciate the contribution (doesn't seem like much/any effort was put in, especially considering it was copied and pasted without a source too) and the time you took however I feel many of the newer growers are being slightly mislead by this guide. A lot of the info is decent but many new growers are assuming it's all true when it's not and this can be a dangerous thing.

I thought this forum will help folks out. Specially since he addressed using plastic bins for a larger crop. All the other threads I've read here only talk about curing in glass jars but that can be difficult when you have several P's

I would NEVER wait until the stems snap to begin curing...........

I agree with 90% of this. I take my Ladies out and remove the largest fan leaves. Then remove them from the root ball and hang upside down. After a few days to a week I cut them down to limbs and hang some more. Depends on the moisture in the stems. I'll hang some to dry to smoke some I'll cure in mason jars.

When curing in mason jars is it more beneficial to bundle them in loosely or put one bud per jar?

THANK-YOU DrFever. The timing of this write up could not be better. Taking down my first (of 6) plants tonight. I am facing serious problems with the heat this year since they are finishing about 6 weeks earlier thanks to the extreme drought and not having more than a few days bellow 95 (most were over 100) degrees since early May.

I need to find a way to keep out mold since the house is in the mid 80s durring the day (untill after midnight most days) and do not have a way to cool it all down.

For next year i need to learn how to tell when to turn off my extra night lights in order to keep vegging through another drought. I was forced to take them down last year in mid October since we were facing a hard freeze that night.

My photo albums are public and explain it all better.

Just don't force them in tight. Needs a bit of air to cure. If they feel damp in a few days in jars, open and let them dry out a bit or you will get mold. BAD, reefer will taste like pressed brown mexi. BAD Read closely The Dr.'s advice OK.
