i asked this in my thread with no answer, so i will ask on here... do all strains trichs turn amber when ripe? also for the hairs... do all strains hairs turn reddish brown when fully ripe or are there strains that stay mostly white when potential harvest time comes around? just curious... like ive said before i am a newb towards the end of his first grow, so yeah... still learning a shit ton...

I was really Hoping fdd would comment in here ... I don't want to act like the big Expert .. fdd knows more than I do .. I'd say cut the light hours back to ten .. for at least 5 or 6 days and see what happens .. maybe to nine hrs for one of those days .. u gotta b the judge ..
again .. gotta be ur call .. I wouldn't go back to full strength .. it may not go to 18 weeks .. the rest of the pistils .could dry up any day .. U still don't see milky trich's ? what happens if u dry and cure a bud ? u said it smokes good .. any amber trich's after a few days drying ?

I'm starting to see a lot of crystals forming on the buds now that I changed the light so 10/14 so I may leave them go for the rest of the week.

COOL ! ..................... nice to know !I'm starting to see a lot of crystals forming on the buds now that I changed the light so 10/14 so I may leave them go for the rest of the week.
Also .. turning OFF lights (for 2 or 3 days) before harvest seems to help make em "frosty"

I dry my nuggs by hanging in a dark cool room for 5-7 days with a fan circulating air but not blowing at the nuggs till they feel dry on the outside but the stem bends but doesn't break.
Then I layer them in a brown paper bag with Bounty paper towels on the bottom to help absorb moisture.
They stay in the bag until they feel dry on the outside and then I pop them into a 1 quart canning jar until they feel moist again then back to the bag till they feel dry and repeat till they don't feel moist after being in the jar. Then burp 4 times a day for 2 weeks.

please STOP spreading NONSENSE on my tutorial thread. thank you.
Is the technique flawed?
Please tell me where I've made an error.
i was referring to the 2 days of darkness before harvest. sorry.
thank u fdd.. i get into so many debates about myths like leavin your plants in the dark or boiling roots to increase thc in your weed...... if u cant get it done in the months of flowering it will not get done in two days..i was referring to the 2 days of darkness before harvest. sorry.

I just harvested a small plant after putting a trash can over it for a couple days. I didn't notice anything special happen....
not enough weed to hang dry so I just placed it in a brown paper bag, Im going to but them in a jar in a couple of days and start the curing proccess, thanks for the guide FDD it pretty much covered everything on the first page

I hung the buds in my 4x4 foot grow room with the lights off and the same ventilation I used for the grow.
I'm lazy and didn't want to take down my lights and fans so I decided to hang 9 vertical lengths that are six foot each and I attached each length to my grow room ceiling and starting at the bottom I hung using a twisty my largest buds and worked my way up to the ceiling. So all 9 six foot lengths are stung with buds.
and are drying slowly.
Any advice?
