it is still green from chlorophyll
how did u say u dried it

I ran out of bud and money so I chopped the branches off of the B1.
The bud tastes like soap, I have a feeling most of yall would know what I'm talking about haha

Anyway to branches' final completely dry weight came up to 21.3 grams. I expected more, but, man does that bud shrink when it dries.
I also listened to The Beach Boys and tripped balls. I trip when I smoke nug. Thus, it is good bud. :)

The rest of the plant, which is the main cola and all the little popcorns below it, will come down within a week. It still has most white pistils though, so I'm going to wait however long it takes to turn that shit into explosion.

No pictures, but an interesting thing is that the bud retained most of its dark green colors even after drying. When I hold it to the light, I instantly 'gasm.

I put them in my long cardboard box with some 6 threads holding them upside down.
I separated the trim and popcorn buds that fell off or were just too small in a cigar box. I kept it slightly open and put it in the room to dry.
I used my fan to blow air up from a hole in the bottom.

I'll get pictures once I can

Yea haha I wish I had computer fans.
It's not completely dry actually. I'd give it 2 more days.
I tired smoking a bud and when I broke it up it was a little moisty. But the shake is completely dry and it does me good.

I cut the main cola of plant B1 today. Boy does it look juicy
I'm drying the branch buds still just in case, but I'm doing it by hanging them upside down in a jar with good air circulation by the fan. I also wrapped the jar in a brown paper bag to make it dark because I read that too. The air isn't blowing on them but it is circulating in because the jars are pointing down.

It's a great first grow, but still an experiment to me. For me, anything goes, and I want to see what is best. So that's just a combination of all that I read
I am hoping the main cola will weigh 6g when dry, all the other buds about 18g and the shake is about a 1/4oz. I love using teh scale. Crossing my fingers because it is the shiniest bud I've ever seen.

No it's still not dry. I think I got too used to the weed smell that I can no longer pick it up. I havn't smelt that smell in like 3 months ever since I've been around it for hours a day.
The other shit is bomb and tastes great and fruity, with a soapy rip taste too.
But the other plant smells like fresh grass and hay.
