i wanna upgrade to Co2 soon. btw, love the sig.:lol:
thank you FuZZy, you can make alcohol and Co2 at the same time with water and yeast, disolve 5 cups of sugar in one gallon of water 70degree water and add on packet of bread yeast, the important thing is not to add the yeast when the water is above 80 or you'll just have sugary yeast water cause they will all die in the hot water lol. but I have an old school home brew recipe if you wanted to make yourself a drinkable product and not just co2 PM if you want.

you can hang the whole plant but drying slower but works fine..a fan nearby helps and so does a dehumidifier ...i have dried hundreds of plants this way harvest to finish.
but ....

if i want my bud to finish fast here is whatt i do

i buildt a drying box out of one of those big blue rubbermade totes from walmart... its like 3 .5foot x 2.5 ft. x 3ft ( just a guess but you'll get the idea)

i cut a hole in each end to allow a six inch duct pipe to poke through then seal up with window sealant or whatever....
a fan goes on one end taped to duct .....a thing called an odor sock is taped on the other duct..this drys my bud and cuts down on the smell of skunk.reeking my house up..

then i took 1x2 slats and made trays to fit the rubbermade box and covered those with window screen..staple it on..

i cut my bud off the stick and take most the trim and save that for bubble hash.. .

put the bud on the screens stacking one on top the other ...one tot will hold about a pound of cured bud.. and i think about 8 trays ..

turn the fan on high the first day medium the second day low the last day..

the third day my bud is almost dry so i take it out of the dry chamber and put it jars

alternate jars ..with the lids off ..then lid on for and hour then off for and hour and so (lids off at night )on until it gets bone dry then i burp it three times a day for a couple of weeks..

after about two weeks that green veg smell disappears and that strong skunky fruity odor begins to really come out.


good luck odor sock aka odor locks are about 100 bucks but work good for this .. earlier i saw a post about activated carbon from a fish store and scotch bright being fashioned into a odor screen i will try this next time..


good luck

harvest during lights out
while the nutes are in the roots and the plant is sleep(so to say)
Yeah i probably will harvest during lights out but i flushed again today cause not enough amber as i want yet....so i basically watered it 3 quarts and ima let it sit another 2 days then check
