Tonight they go into the dark for 48hrs. From what I have read I plan on trimming the fan leaves and leaving the sugar leaves until they are dried, then fine pruning from there. My thought is to hang the branches upside down even though they are smaller buds, from my trellis net. I have a 5gal sealing bucket with a hydrometer inside I plan to cure them in before going into glass Mason jars for later use.
I have read as much as I can about drying and curing so please let me know if my plan is not good!
As always thanks in advance and happy growing friends.
Ok! You all have been awesome support and with that let’s take a trip down one of the most fun projects I’ve had in a long time. I could not have done this without all of you.
Special thanks to @Rolling_Stoned for the beginning knowledge and oddly wierd same weather issues. @slow.motion who gave me the link for the fantastic tent setup for my winter grow. Every one else for awesome advice and support.
Small update, damn these buds are sticky. I’m almost wishing I cut more off before I hung them, fine pruning is going to be a task… Been in good temps and humidity, tomorrow will be day 6 but I don’t think they are quite ready yet… The stems are still bendy.
I did trim and start to cure the smaller stuff that fell off and looks pretty good but smells great, super sticky as I said. Here’s hoping I don’t mess up the cure. Any advice on any of this is super appreciated!
