thanks. I need more info. though... How many days hanging and how many days curing?!

Thank you a lot

Read the first 10(?) pages or so. Says everything. But it can take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks (2 weeks with a crazy strain i guess).

How do you get a bud to get hard and dense? I follow the same harvest and curing method but my buds always look light, airy, are never solid and hard. Any suggestions?

t0k3s · Apr 24, 2011

The curing part will not make them hard and dense,they have to be dense buds to begin with.top your plant and it will improve your bud structure

Hortilux bulbs are awesome, you get very nice hard nugs with hortilux there is a major difference in bud harvested from reg. hps bulb or hortilux, peace all! im just trying to get the message out there that hortilux is the shit

Can any one please tell me how far along am I from harvesting? :blsmoke:

fdd....when you're curing when does the great smell come back because it does change when drying. And which is more important? Drying thoroughly or curing thoroughly? Also whats the proper RH when the cure is done enough to smoke? Thanks man.

Snafu1236 · May 20, 2011

Dense nugs come from ample lighting.

Cure zone for nugs is 60-65%RH. You should have a 40-50% rh for storage. IME, less than 40% RH starts to compromise quality.

Drying is important because you cannot cure unless it is dry enough. Cure is important to some, but not all---curing is what makes the smoke smoother, tastier, and smell better. However, curing is not necessary---just like aging wine is not necessary after it is fermented....but most people age wine because they want a smoother taste, better taste, and a better nose(smell).

Well i noticed that you dont sweat them but i suppose not many people do anymore,to be honest i dont even know if it really makes any difference to potency and flavour or not.
I will try some this time unsweated and my usual sweated and see if i can tell any difference

they would have to be clones for it to be accurate.... right?

My plants will be ready for harvest in a few weeks. When I harvest during the winter the weather is perfect for harvesting and drying. Unfortunately, the weather during summer is everything not wanted with high heat and humidity.

Because I cannot bring the plants in the air conditioning I will have to try to dry outside. After the drying phase I will put them in jars and can then bring them inside.

Does anyone have experience with drying under these conditions?

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Po Boy.....add a swamp cooler to the drying process during the hot times......i dont have much experience with this, bu you can also make one from a five gallon bucket from HomoDepot, then fill it with water, and put a fan blowing over the top of the bucket......i dont kno if you should blow it directly at the plants, tho, bu it will add moisture to the air......experience will tell you wuts best for your time...bu this will take care of your low humidity problems.

btw.... wut state/area weather are we talkin bout?
