Hey guys im a little very confused as to what to do after I chop them ladies down, i was talking to a friend he said why dont you just put them right into a vac sealed bag it sounded legit but isnt there so much water buildup thy will mold? I always thought you had to dry them which isnt that the same thing as curing? I have a few jars i plan on putting them in for storage but i like the idea of vac sealed im in an apartment and i need as little smell as possible if I dry them just out in the open it will wreak the whole building. Anything will help me at this point seeing as how I didnt even think I was going to harvest on my first grow.

Now for my other lady shes about halfway done nice huge sativa but every time i open the tent theres more dead foliage. I've already chopped most her fan leaves and now all the fan leaves for the buds are dyting, the actual bud is healthy looking but the fans are crumbling around them im afraid theyre next. I've chopped so many leaves and still chopping im afraid in a week all im going to have is bud growing and i know that will screw my plant. I've tried cutting back on nutes looked for any problem like bugs i cant put my finger on it theyre all just wilting off and folding almost into a ball. Thanks for any help guys these are my babies and i'm about to chop em next week i want everything to go perfect:eyesmoke:

Pic of dying leaves? Are they yellowing up and then dying? The plant may be using them for nitrogen in bud production.

You're not wasting electricity if you learn something. Don't be too hard on yourself (i'm on my first grow and keep telling myself that anyways, lol).

Also, if you're cutting off leaves, stop. Just let them fall off. I know for me that slows down the amount of dead foliage I find (at least, it seems that way).

good point but im in a place where id rather have backup money for rent then knowledge lol, as much as I would like to stop cutting them dead leaves attract all kinds of diseases molds and bugs so its best to let em go
