Yah, let that girl get ripe. Be patient and ready..Is that an outdoor grow? If so you might not be able to finish her fully, depending on the strain...Because i live in Michigan and the warm weather is gonna start to diminish soon. Now i know Ohio is a bit more south, but im sure you guys get similar weather..

If its indoors, just be patient bro..Happy Harvest..

NOPE...IT'S OUTDOORS ON MY DECK...THE BUDS LOOK AMAZING. I AM THINKING OF PULLING IT SOON. CAN'T IMAGINE THEM GETTING ANY BETTER THAN THEY ARE NOW. LOOKING VERY VERY CRYSTAIZED AND IN FULL BLOOM. THEY SHOULD BE ON THE COVER OF HIGH TIMES...LOL
HOW LONG SHOULD I DRY THEM BEFORE SMOKING ?

[GRB.4.Life]

No shit? Post some pics man, ya never know...But if they look anything like they do in that picture then they need some time...But they most likely dont and who knows, they could be done by now..

Youll wanna hang them upside down and dry them for 5-7days at least or until stems are britle..

(when i dry i like to keep just a few of the short leaf tips that stick out of the flowers on after trimming because when those leaf tips completely dry up and can easily be tapped off or simply crumble in the breeze or even fall off on thier own, i know the buds are almost ready to be cured..)

When you dry them, make sure your drying area stays at minimal humidity levels. Otherwise your buds might rot. Drier the air is, the less oxidation that can occur as well..However if its dry and very hot, the THC will evaporate. You dont want that. You want to keep the temperatures between 60-75degrees. If you can get it little cooler sweet, but dont get too cold or the thc will start to freeze and then it can sweat out, almost like condensation, when its warmed back up, thus causing a noticable decrease in potency...You can freeze your buds though, just not during drying! (it actually makes them more potent if frozen right after curing process.)

But anyways, just keep the area dry and cool. Cure them with care and youll be smokin in no time..
