Boy the shoe sure is on the other foot.
I so confidently referred another person to the grow bible about drying yet my own attempts are not so great.
I put some in jars too early and my fan is blowing directly on the upside down ladies in spite of it causing uneven drying.
My problem is attractiveness. Most weed I buy looks pretty and is a nice color appropriate for the strain. Mine is getting dark and weird looking, even the stuff that isn't damaged. It smokes very very (I know it isn't cured but wtf we only live once) well with an OK taste and a mind blowing high with good pain relief. I want to make sure some looks good enough to share and show to classmates.

If I do run into a botrytis mold issue and/or I already have it (my valley is a huge wine region) does the milk spray solution make the weed taste or smell like sour milk? If so then its just as ruined as if it molded over.

Any tips on this for a first timer? Note I had a botrytis issue that forced me to harvest early and I have a lot of discolored/brown leaves that won't pull off easily so they touch good bud as it folds over eventually.
