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:
RAINHAZE Reviewed by RAINHAZE on . Preserving flavor when drying buds Who has some good information on preserving the flavor of the buds when drying. All the buds smell awesome when they reach maturity but many lose most of their flavor when dried. I have tried leaving the buds on the plant without trimming, trimming before drying and partial trimming. The results don't seem to show the affects of the different drying methods. The afghan goo and white widow taste great but the dj short blueberry seems to have lost a majority of its flavor. The bliss smelled Rating: 5
