Help A Newbie!

I have a snowboard trip coming up. I REALLY want to bring some of my harvest with me. Problem is, earliest I could get away with is two weeks before my trip. It would be an early harvest by not even a week.

So my question - Should I just wait to harvest when the proper time comes and cure for a proper time ?(which i cant find an answer to proper time to cure!) Waiting longer to harvest and cure obviously means no fresh buds on the trip. DO YOU THINK ITS POSSIBLE to harvest a little early and have them dry and ready to smoke on the trip?

Not to be rude but lately im finding on RIU people just blab in with what theyre doing that is completely way off topic. So please, if you have questions for my question - just ask Thanks for your help!

I would wait , go buy some meds for the trip !!
a proper dry and cure is well worth the wait !

or just clip a nug or 2 , you should be able to tell if the hairs are turning orange yet at least. It would need at least a few days or a week minimum to start drying enough

Without a flush it will be harsh.... But if you are in need clip some small lower buds u can dry and cure quickly

 

[crailtapper]

can you define quickly? if i could figure out a rough time frame i'd take some for sure

How do you know it will be harsh? i dont remember hearing what nutrients are being used and flushing is not always necessary, in some cases , yes.
And the lower buds are the buds that take longer to mature then the higher ones.

Totally false. I never flushed, and I never had harsh weed.

 

[crailtapper]

so with all your experience flushing or not flushing how long do you cure for? ever cured in a weeks time?

 

[bwest]

I leave it in jars while i smoke. After 4 or 5 days in jar, very nice smoke. So yea, i cured in a weeks time. Dont need to follow all the myths to grow weed.
Seed, soil, water and a few nutes now and then. People tend to make growing weed harder than it really is.

Yer own opinion. I myself see and taste a difference I will always flush. It also appears to give my plants a plump. .....

You can dry and cur small buds to an acceptable smoke in about 2 weeks
