When my ladies are done?

[JarrettM]

ok so I am going to chop down my ladies in a day or two...then I am going to hang them with a fan blowing on them till ??? Any ideas on the best way to dry them out and cure them? does the paper bag work?

Just hang them by the stems upside down. fan blowing wont realy make a difference. you trim them up first?

I usually cut mine and hang for about a week with a fan blowing inside the room (not directly on the plants). After a week or 10 days the stems should snap cleanly. NOW it's time to cure. Put them in a sealed container ( I use a large tupperware container) and "burp" the container once a day to change the air. After 2 months or so your ladies ought to be cured nicely. If you want something to smoke before that you can always use a food dehydrator which you can get at Walmart for about 50-60 bucks.

Good Luck

I heard plastic containers should be avoided. Don't remember the specific reason but I have read it a few times. I put mine in glass jars. Mason till I run out then baby food jars. Jam jars, spag sauce jars. Love those baked bean jars. WASH OUT......LMAO

Damn WW....NOW I remember where I put the last little bit of my stash from the last grow..........it's right next to the Bush's baked beans in my pantry! I thought my friends were acting a little strange after our Memorial Day cookout!

I dry in the same humidity as my plant grow in. It takes longer but you dont ruin any of your buds quality.

I sure use a fan. Always have. It helps insure against mold beginning to grow. Also, IMO a cool, dark area is the preferred environment.

 

[WormSlayer]

Yeah; cool, dark, dry area with a fan blowing over them is choice.
