Hey Mono!

I just rely on what HD told me...

Cut your plant down and leave it mostly intact, although you can separate and cut apart secondaries so they aren't touching (avoids molding). Ideally, you cut right at the dirt and hang the whole thing, but my secondaries were really close together.

Hang it upside down in a dark place in the low to mid 70'sF. Light degrades THC at this point. The processing of sugar is coming to an end (I guess like Fall and the end of a tree's chlorophyl processing cycle, but this part made me sleepy and I forgot it). The slow hanging method also allows for an even drying.

I'll be hanging them for about three weeks, then doing the final trimming and separate them even more. I'll hang the kola and secondaries for another few days, until the stems are brittle and 'snap' when you bend them.

Then I'll cut the small buds off the stems and put all the buds in canning jars. I have a bunch of those jars with rubber lips and metal wires that seal them airtight. You pack them full, but not tight. The less air the better, but not crushing them.

Once a day, I'll dump them out on a paper bag and give them a toss around to make sure there's no moisture. I have a dark, cold room where they'll stay for about four more weeks.

And the wet weight of the main kola is 188 grams, or 6.7 oz...

Could I possibly pull three ounces out of each of these five girls? Holy shit! That's 15 ounces!!!!

Now, if I don't fuck up the dry and cure then I might have almost a pound of half-decent weed.

Holy shit!
