My flowers are getting brittle but the stems are not snapping. I'm not sure if I should trim the flowers for curing and get them into jars immediately or wait one more day.
Hi buddy It sounds like the air was a little too warm and has dried the buds a touch too fast, a fan blowing too hard can also have the same effect.
I would keep them on the stem for a few hours covered by a paper bag, closed up loosly, the stems will lose moisture and re-hydrate the buds some, you need wait until the buds are soft again and then trim off and jar up, you are still OK, as long as the stem still holds a little your buds should re-soften enough.
She looks stunning by the way, super job, really well grown.
I am sure you will be ok, I am so dizzy, I was thinking individual stems C', in this case as you have the whole plant I am certain there will be enough moisture to re-hydrate. Have a great Thanksgiving, I am sure you will.
