I trim most of the leaf then suspending mine in a dark room for about 4-5 days, then a final trim, and off to the mason jar.
I have been buying dozens of mason jars. The folks at the store keep commenting on all the "canning" I am doing. I guess it is not too suspicious to go buy all the jars the store has. I have 4 dozen and need many more. I will go see if the store has restocked today. I need to get this stuff out of bags where it just continues to get drier and drier.
Hit up the Salvation Army and Thrift stores, they always have them and they are dirt cheep. Oh and ya gotta have that taste and thats half of the reason im looking for tasty strains to make my own personal stanky fire weed. Lets just hope it turns out that way in the end as im having issues with curing this grow. Not sure if its because its way more or i put it in jars too early. Smells musty, sucks:wtf:. Iv put fresh buds in, but the weed just pulls out all the moisture from it and i cant even find it the next day. Im going to try an orange peel in the jar over night to see if i can get it more moist, then bag it. If anyone has any other ideas id luv to here em, thanks.Quote:

I hang my harvest in a dark space with some air circulation for a week to ten days. Then I do the trimming. After I separate the buds from the leaves and stems I store them in glass jars. Sweet!
When I was trimming it, it smelled great but after some time in the jar is has a barnyard smell and the smoke is harsh and has a white pepper finish, yuck. I'm hoping it gets better.
Anyone else out there with a Harborside cut of God Bud have a smoke report?
i suspend my cuttings from wire zig zagging through the grow room intake i have modified out of a file cabinet . the bottom drawer has been sealed and modified to channel the air to the grow room. i just open the drawer and hang the buds from the wires. i have screening covering the bottom of the drawer i removed the floor of the drawer for better circ. its nice and dark and can easily be monitored. then it goes into mason jars.
Not saying one way is better than the other, but my last grow of AK47af lowriders tasted freakin'great!
What I did was I flushed a week in advance of killing, then trimmed before drying in a cardboard box.
( I have a pc fan mounted on the box to help the drying and to help eliminate bud rot)
After about 4 days I cut off the large stems and dryed the buds for an additional 6 days or so.
I made sure that the small stems snapped when bent.
Next I cured in mason jars and burped the jars two or three times a day for about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks.
I kept the jars in complete darkness.
Not once did I experience a "hay" taste or any harshness. I am very conservative so I use a small pipe
and every hit had the most incredible sweet taste. Kinda reminded me of the old Blonde Lebanese Hash days.
Maybe it was the strain I used, I dont know, but I savored every tasty hit.
I grew in a large wooden box lined with polyshield underlayment, a fan, cfls, and MG, so it deffinetly
wasnt my growing expertise that produced such a great taste.
Next grow I'm doing more AK47af lowriders and using HPS, and better soil.
..I cant wait to taste THAT batch! :thumbsup:
I think the barn yard flavor comes if you put the buds in jars too early or not burping them enough to let the gas's escape. The hole reason for putting them in jars is to pull out the gas isn't it to get that nice sweet taste and not hay. I have 4 jars that smell bad, but snap it in half and the smell is there and 3 hits of Edna made me pass out last night. But this was the end of the outdoor and haven't tried it yet, but was getting good smoke reports from others so i thought id try it. Well anyone know who was kicked of Surviver?
I hope to dry the last of it better this time damn. I wonder if i put it in baggies it would help its been in jars for close to 40days. But as of late iv just left the lids off to get rid of the stench, think i should bag it in plastic for a day or two?
