excellent pots, quality information for someone who knows from experience what they are taking about. You can read a thousand books, but until you act out what you read, you don't actually have knowledge

I live in a very dry climate with very little air... My buds usually dry in about four days but I've yet to do a full cure. This is only my fifth grow and I've been trying lots of things but waiting isn't one of them. I smoke a lot, my grow room isn't very big and dispensaries are way too expensive. I'm going to start taking the second best bud of each plant harvested and let them go full cure while I ravish the rest of the grow.

What I want to know is how can the dispensaries produce good bud so quickly?

What's everybody's thoughts about giving the plant 24 or 48 hours of total dark before cutting down to harvest?

I know some do this. I want to know why? Whats it doing for the plant?

The plant produces trichs as a form of "sunblock" for the flower, and when the lights are on, or the sun is up, the trichs degrade, so when you have it sit in darkness there is uninterrupted trich production.

so if your dying and you get the smell of fresh cut cucumbers is that something to worry about? or is that normal? i googled it and their are people that say its the chlorophyll from the fruits. How true is this? cause I personally don't think it should but that's why I'm here . going on my second harvest and don't want the same results. smelled dank on the plant

Cigar Humidors work very well for long term storage-just avoid anything with cedar lining if you don't want that type of finish on your smoke. That goes away after awhile but can be strong at first. The idea is that it allows you to control the humidity with a hygrometer. All sizes and locks styles- even combinations on higher end models! Totally smell proof and you can actually cure in them too. Peace.

i was just looking for this answer, because im harvesting in 3 days and its my first, when i plan on harvesting, they will have ended their dark cycle, i was wondering if it was better to wait till the light cycle or not. but im learning! trichs being a natural sunblock is a very interesting fyi! makes sense! so nbow ill feel alot more comfortable wednesday!

they say its better to harvest right after the dark period and not to let the light get back on em.... its easier to dry and cure if you let the soil dry up a lil bit before harvest as well.
