You know lip, you dont have to be a prick about it. If you've read any of my other threads, then you'd know that this might be my first grow, but i've done my research, I"ve read the faq's, and now I was trying to get a feel for what other people have "actually" experienced. Some places say up to a week drying, some sites say a few weeks, and some even go as far as saying your bud wont be dry for as much as 8 weeks. I'm not posting this under advanced techniques, i'm starting a thread under "basic growing." How many times do people start threads that say "ok i've planted some seeds....now what?"....jump on their backs.
