Small wet trim the large fans after harvest and hang dry the whole branches. Cold temps, High RH for 5-7 days. After that trim the buds off the branches and give them another "wet" trim as they're not fully dry. Then into large paper bags, lay buds flat at bottom with no buds on top of each other. You can either do multiple bags or stick a layer of paper bag in between each layer in one bag. I let them bag dry for another 3-4 days to make a total of 10 days dry. Then into jars,burp/cure. This has been my best method to preserve smell.

42g, dry, off 1 plant, Mdanzig sour spyder, only have 1 crappy pic, if you can find it I highly recommend it, Warning this plant has the strongest scent I have ever smelt in an autoflower, seed co lie, 2 bad things about autos, 1 can't clone, yield is a lot less than a photoperid plant, and yes there are exceptions, I grow for high thc, Dutch passion has a plant called auto ultimate they claim you can pull a key off one plant, most of what I grow are smallish indica or indica Dom hybrids not known for super high yields, sorry that pic won't upload.

You CAN clone an auto... I tried it, it worked, i just didn't like the plant that it came from and threw it away... So i know it can be done... Saw it on YouTube also...

Really? Autoflowers are time oriented plants with a limited lifespan i would not think it worth the bother, but if you saw it must be so, I have never heard of anyone even trying to do that, thanx.

As I stated i grow indica or indica Dom hybrids witch most tend to be smallish, take this northern light at day 35, I have no problem keeping her in veg until day 60, looking at this plant, it's age, and how much longer I can veg it until I switch over to flower base and agent, I guesstimate she will put out 1/2oz of dried cured flower, after awhile you can tell, this site is not uploading my pics, I have a pic of grapefruit by fast buds just before I chopped, looking at her you would swear there is a couple oz, but in the end after drying and cureing I think I pulled 26g of flower, when growing autos sativa Dom plants tend to be bigger and put out more yield, they sell high yield autos but in the end it's a trade off, you can run an autoflower from seed to weed in 70 or 80 days, but you sacrifice real yield to get your pot early.

I use a trick, as soon as they pop & stop I take the plastic off a bread tie, now u have a nice little wire, I make a loop around the stem, wire down my seedling and heavy stress train, I allways get a nice thick main stem, that's what u want, this is not advice, just how I do it.

Sorry, I heavy stress train with a fan, when my seedlings pop I wire them down and train, I bealive it tricks your seedlings to thinking there new environment is windy and if they don't get there roots down quick they will get blown away, I leave a nice loop around the stem they don't like touching metal after a bit there stem hardens and the seedling will stand straight within the wire, after that's over I allways have a fan on them lst, and to displace heat, the main stem on my big NL is very large, it is to big, I should have toped her, I allmost dropped it a few weeks ago, broke 2 branches toped 1 branch now have 2, plant has not slowed 1 bit, 42 inc at 35 days, about to outgrow her space and she still shows no sighn of stopping, I call the other one little but it's normal size for her age, she will turn out nice I can tell, I have not decided what to do with the big one, soon she will out grow her light, in fact it's the biggest NL auto I have ever seen, sux I allmost dropped and messed it up.

I kinda figured it was something like that frank can be done just not really any point in doing it on another note chopped down the other half of my ultimate purple critical plus auto had to let the bottom finish up left more plant matter then I normally would and it’s in the shoebox like you said their also attached to the stems still so I’m gonna try and go as slow as possible think it’s just always been to hot wherever it’s been drying so it dries to quickly
