Harvest Time: A Tutorial

Hey fdd, thanks for this thread, it has been really helpful. I have harvested several small Auto Flower crops now and it wouldn't have turned out nearly as well with out the info in this thread. I found some black glass jars and Bed Bath and Beyond which is awesome for curing! You don't have to worry about light ruining the process.

Great lil Tutorial.., Learn somethin every time I open this site up, which has been several times a day this past week.

Thx for the help!!
 
Wuts up fdd- i got a question,ive read the beggining over&over and i missin' whether you hang dry in dark room also?does light effect anything while hang drying? Thanx
 
yea also a dry place! that is important! u dont want mold... and as long as ur temps arent above 80degrees in the drying room ur ok
 
This part makes or breaks the quality imo.grow great looking weed,which is a high in itself.but the drying&curing part is a buzzkill.untill i figure it out that is.
 
Well written post/info fdd- if i still get it wrong this time,im done jar curing.my buds smell,look gr8!we'll see how the cure goes! Im prayin' for better results from my last harvest. Good weed done bad!lmao!!
 
Thanks sooo much FDD... This thread has taught me soooo much, Its my 3rd harvest, my 1st and second were shit.. because I didn't research, learn and just presumed I new what I was doing...

Im at the end of my 8th week of flowering, and they are now ready.. If it wasn't for you or this thread, i would have pulled at least 2 weeks ago.... I also Had never heard of curing until 2day... So will have to get rid of all my baking products as they are kept in glass jars :)

Again thanks, and better get out there and go harvest... ugh, time consuming but sooooooooo worth it :)
 
Thx fdd, Got em on the string and its looking good. What say you get into the curing.., exactly what that does for the bud.. is it like whiskey, mellows with age or what??

anhyway thx

Search for curing and read about it. I used to dry my harvest slowly, but no curing.
But after I tried curing last harvest, I will always do it from now on. It really is worth the time!

Curing will, among other things, break down chlorophyll - resulting in better tasting and smooth-burning buds.

curing doe a hell of alot more than that! curing ferments the trichcomes and as the bud sits in the jar its giving off co2 which causes the trichs to ferment...also it changes the thc from non psychoactive to psychoactive...and im pretty sure it brings out other chemical compounds
