Good info,
I'm new to growing but have been reading books and forums for the better part of two years. Coming up on my frist harvest and trying to engage as much as possible before I do.
Not nit picking, just want to respond/add to some of your comments...
3. hanging the plant with the leafs on helps absorb moisture from the inner bud
so the dry is more even as many of you have noticed your placing what you think is dry
in a jar or whatever and the next day its to wet.
You talking about fan or sugar leaf? 100% for sure dry with the sugar leafs on, but in the spirit of mold/disease prevention, removing fan leaves before drying is the safer choice.
7.taking it in at out of jars fucks up the Christals try pleated bottom mylar ziplocks from usa emergency supply.
Interesting. I'm not sure how many people your going to convince to switch from glass tho, every dispensary or grow I've ever been to or seen uses glass for curing and storage.
8. drying is 10 times more important than curing
I suppose this is semantics but to make it clear to others, they are equally important if your primary concern is top quality final product. You can't cure properly without drying properly. Perhaps drying is 10x more important to someone that produces on a massive for profit only scale, and is not concerned with the best quality medicine possible.
10 dry trimming is actually faster if you have trimmed a few pounds each way you know this.
Do you mean trimming the surgar leaf after it has been dried but before cure? or after it's ready for storage?
11 70 % is a recipe for mold
True, and I agree his numbers are a bit high. I just want to point out that if done properly mold can be prevented at this level, it's just not a great idea, especially if you have large quantities.
