It was my first and I chopped manageable sections making handles for each bud site with stem, trimmed leafs from buds as close as possible, and hung them on string. I also tried laying some in screen, which I moved to the string. Now I am smoking them this is my favorite part :eyesmoke:
Wish I had some too but I dont wanna go chop off anythng pre harvest even though its at day 58...
When i chop my 2 big ladies I have in late late flower atm, I will just cut them whole and hang them...they gonna dry slowly for all chlorophyll to break down, then I will trim it and start the curing. When u trim them right before curing in glass jars u make the buds sweat releasing more "flavours" and ur bud will wreak. Just ran out of some K3 a friend gave me. :cry:

Oh man that sucks I am sorry to hear it. I think I have just enough to keep me going now I might run out for a week while waiting on the 3 dirt plants, then about 1.5 months later I will have 8 aero plants dried and wham bamm the remaining 6 will finish and I will do it again. But now I understand why people are pushing 30 and 50 plant runs, me I just plan on 24 plant runs, but I am using 2600 watts on them lol Marijuana is great medicine but not so much so when you run out.

I sweat the bud in the fridge. Just speeds up the process.
I just did CaL's half-a-day drying and curing method but this time i did sweat the nug in the fridge. It fer sure sped up the process, but the smoke was harsh and very chlorophyll tasting.

i have thought about this aswell and with my experience baking christams cookies every year for the whole fam, i thought why not bake it like marange, STAY WITH ME NOW, so to bake a glob of wet egg mixture without harming it you turn on the oven till it warms to 250 F place goods in oven and turn it off and leave it untill the morning or 5 hours being very carefull not to open it, so i thought why wouldnt it work with some green, but in this case using lower temps because of the fact THC breaks down at temps over 90 F so set your oven to, lets say 125ish stick your nugs in and (turn it OFF)with any luck they will be dry and ready for use in the morning, do NOT open the oven at all or the whole process will be pointless (if you must peak a little turn on the light and look thru the window DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN for atleast 5 hours

If u start at 125 and turn it off letting ur nugs just sit there, I can promise you that it wont be dry to smoke in 5 hours...did u really try this urself?
