Right. So the grow is done, how to dry/finalize?

How is everyone? Good?

So at the beginning of summer my friends and I got some plants from this cat and we planted them in a nearby field devoid of activity. We bought them at roughly 2 - 2.5 feet, and they've grown to nearly 3.5 - 4 feet. I know this isn't to the fullest extent, but we tried our best at taking care of them (we visited the site several times a week armed with water coolers, miracle-gro, and plant-safe soap to clean the leaves), but it's getting far too cold now. These babies are beautiful. So green and the smell is fantastic. Well sticky too. Annnnnnyways, last night I picked my single plant and brought it home. The hardest part is over for me, which was raising it. Now it's in my room, in a bag, and just chilling until I can find a way to dry these without getting caught by anyone. NO ONE knows I'm doing this except my two friends who did it with me, they're in the same boat as I am. I'm limited to my bedroom and my basement for spots to dry.

My first idea was to, sometime very soon when no one is home, go in my basement, and sort the plant out (separate the bud from the stem and leaves etc.. The stem and leaves will be going to my friend who says he will make hash oil or some shit. I don't care about that). My only problem with that is: how do I set the bud up to dry properly and without the stink being too prevalent. Also, how long does it take to dry and does it need DIRECT exposure to air, or could the bud be sitting in a box which has holes for thorough ventilation?

Thanks for the help!:thumbsup:

dude its gonna freaking wreak bad but you can dry them in a paper bag with the top folded over a few times for about 7-10 days and when the stems snap easily you can further cure them in a mason jar but dude no matter what its gonna get stinky

Nice. Thanks for the info. Those links pretty much gave me everything I needed to know.

I ended up cutting the plant into 4 stalks, and they're now hanging upside down in my basement in a dark spot with very little air circulation. I'll keep it there for one day to promote potency, then I'll stick a fan in to begin drying. Keep that up for 7 - 10 days and then I'm gonna put them in mason jars and let them cure. Cool.

Crap man I just blazed like a .5 just to see, and it's pretty good, I'm rather buzzed.

Now I'm off to smoke from my stash.
