23 Days of Flowering 12/12 Pics - Weekly Updates - soil, FF, 550W HPS
How specific are you wondering about my harvest/dry/cure process? Basically put I wait to harvest until most pistils have turned orange and trichs are right around <50% amber. I trim everything by hand, by myself and I like to get pretty detailed with the trimming. I dry them in the dark in a large cabinet where the room temp stays in the mid-low 60s with a humidity of about 20%. They'll stay hanging there, keeping as many branches in tact as I can, for about 5-7 days depending on the size of the branch and thickness of stem, I just kinda keep an eye on them and take them off the branch individually as they dry to a certain consistency that I like. After that I just load them into mason jars, filling the jar loosely with buds and keep them in the same cabinet for the curing process. For curing its always a minimum of two weeks but more like a month+ if I can. After the first couple weeks they don't get opened more than once a day unless there is a reason to. Usually two weeks is enough to where it recovers its good smell and an evenly dried core to the touch.
Personally I am very picky with the moisture content of my bud. Which is why I never really smoke anyone elses bud that I know, because anymore or any less moisture makes a big difference to me. Some people never let it cure enough to relieve the necessary moisture, and some people let it dry wayy too much prior to curing.. if they ever even cure it properly, idk.
