Oh, and I keep my weed in the dark when it's harvested. I don't know if my QB's have any specific UV bulbs, but I believe that lights with "full-spectrum" have some in there somewhere.

I'd consider it a bloom enhancer really. Although, you can amend with it from the start and touch up later if needed. It's good stuff. I'd just do what the bag says, it gives you a couple options.

I have dried a plant whole. Messy when you go to trim it up, but dry is dry imo. It does dry slower because there is more to dry and it wicks from the stems. You can use different methods for different things. Like say right now it is super dry where you live. I'd consider drying the plant more or less whole to slow down drying. If it's been rainy and super humid, I'd cut it up smaller so that it dries out faster. You don't always need to look for the one way to do something and do it that way all the time. Everyone has their own way of drying and curing. Now I just cut off a cola, trim the loose stuff off of it and put it in a hanging drier. 3-5 days later it's done drying and ready to smoke. I trim up the dry stuff and nug it out. I jar it up at that point and conveniently it cures at the same time. When I remember I open it up and feel them. They get wetter after sitting in there for a few days so I open up the jars and when I remember again I close them up. After a while I pop a boveda pack in there and call it good.
You can do it the way you are planning, or many ways.

I'm retired, too.

My 2 cents on “drying “ if you want optimum flavor and aroma you need to closely monitor humidity and temperatures in your “drying closet” I think the word drying is a little bit misleading . It’s true that you are drying it but you need to do it slowly. Need to keep the humidity levels around 55-60% humidity and temps cool 65-67. This is what works for me and I have tested it

What time frame do you shoot for? 7 - 9 days?

Time to start hunting for something that works in my OP. The GG4 is great smoke, but, it not easy to clone, sometimes 3 wks, 10 week flower time, and not a heavy producer. Will keep a few moms and run a few for head stash.

Interplanetary development! I got a t-press from them, and they sent me a handful of stickers and bags like that.

Just got it off amazon. For pressing keif into pucks. If you smoke it, it's a lot less messy that way.

I just checked the site. Guess that's where he got the bags.
I honestly don't go after kief much. I make wax and am setting up a "lab" to start making vape carts. I personally find dabs to strong of a smoke, makes me cough horribly. I just got some screens to start dry sifting though and looking forward to that. I love hash, just haven't set up for it yet, my younger fans don't even know what hash is.

Since finally having a stockpile of flowers, I have removed the keif-screens from my grinders. I'd rather keep it with the weed. I do the dry sift with all my trim and have plenty. If you have any Q's about it lemme know. I decarb it for budder mostly. Got the puck-press before the Nova. Haven't used it since.

Keif is for budder and oil and making things. The flowers just get eaten. As is, mix it in food, whatever. I think there is too much waste decarbing the flowers then using them to infuse something. The keif I don't even sift out of the budder.
