It also shows the variations in hash colors derived from the color of the dried, cured plant material. The book is available from amazon and well worth the price in knowledge. I don't have a scanner/printer. :thumbsup:
When this is dried and cured properly it will be purple, green and yellow in color with brown pistals. The other will have reddish colors. :stoned:
I stopped growing this plant cause it didn't do what I wanted it to.
But as far as looks are concerned, its the most beautiful plant I've ever had in my garden. It has parts of it that are green, but very little.
This is just and educational update to this thread. Purple is the second most common color of cannabis then green. And, if one was to read pages 92 and 93 of Marijuana Botany R. C. Clarke, that cannabis will finish and cure in oranges, yellows, golds, reds, purple and green.
Here's a couple of nugs of my Purple Kush, and the buds aren't purple (taken early due to bud mold), but the plant is still purple finishing inside. And the last buds I get will have more purple in the bud. Still tasty stuff and has a fruity taste the first coupe of hits. :D

I like to dry the product for approximately a week. This gets it so that it is still mostly sticky but if handled gently not damaged too badly. It will smoke only if lit, will not continue to burn if a doober is set down.
Curing is different for each one. They are all so good I cannot tell any difference with the curing, other than they get a bit more harsh when smoked. Usually I will just put the dry in a crock jar and leave the lid loose until the stems snap. Still sticky at this point too, but will burn a lot better. By now chlorophyll smell is just about gone (2-3 weeks) Beyond that period it just seems to get more harsh and not have any different high, remember, the time we harvest has the most say about that. Cure is to get rid of the other stuff like excess water and allows the oils to soak into the drying product. Eventually the trichomes will just get so dry they fall off and become part of the bottom of the crock mix. That can be pretty darn good and concentrated.
Over the years, and especially the last 5 years, I have learned so much of all this is subjective information. A person needs eventually to take all the stuff they have heard, know, tried, and put it into a package for themselves, that works for them.
:smokin:But, now that I went off on a stoned rampage, :stoned:to return to the actual topic, and the color of cured weed is due to the species and conditions. Some can be green, golden, brown, and I hear orange. The time of cure also will vary with species, but after awhile, the difference is really not noticeable.

Mine is getting smoother as it cures. I hate the greenshit. It clogs up the screen and bowl with its black gummy mass, and the moisture laden resin runs out the mouth end. I prefer it when it burns to a white or light gray ash. But, that takes cure time, and the demand doesn't really allow for it. Now that I've been able to grow my own medicine for the first time in almost 10 years, I can finally get it to where I like it best and its at it optimal in drying and curing. :rasta:Quote:
