Quick question. Im starting curing today. Do you completely seal the jar with your hydrometer inside? I've seen close it completely and then some say no. Secondly, I smoked a pipe..but three little popcorn nuggets are being smoked tonight for a double birthday doob face for my birthday and my buddies birthday. What do I do to the buds I want to smoke? Separate front curing bud, and store...how? Thanks for any help!
 
Thank you so much for this rocking thread!

I have a question about Harvesting time as well. I heard you can re-use roots. Can you? And grow them like a crown of asparagus or something. I tried seeing if I could find a link. But not see one yet. Any help would rock.

once cut down it goes into jars. the jars are then sealed and placed in a cool dark room. i let them sit over-night. the next day i take the jars from the dark room and open them. the bud should be wet again.


The only cool dark room I have is my fridge. Is this an acceptable storage place?

its nice to read your comment as most people think more is better. we follow the same format...our plants always look great and don't require 92 different types of chemical additives. we use FFOF, Blue Mountain Organics and have auto's that are close to four feet high and dark green lush looking plants. looking at 1-3 from each plant. entering day 59 today.

Yes, Kat, I concur. After a few years of nothing but "putting out fires", I, too, opted for simplicity. I recently flushed and re-potted my whole grow because figuring out the problems got too complicated. Now I watch the pH very carefully and don't feed unless there is a very obvious need. The plants are green and healthy- dare I say Happy?!- and I can stop tearing my hair out. I used to grow outdoors and never did more than water. I grew beautiful, huge plants in less than quality soil. The stuff I buy in the bags for indoor growing is probably twice as nutritious and shouldn't require a lot of additions.

When to CHOP!!

Here are some pics of my NL's. Start of week 7, pistols are getting brown 40% to 50%, trichs are getting more cloudy.. but no brown yet.

Plain water for flushing. How much longer do you think?. I want to do 24 hours of dark before chop.

Peace:leaf:

I really need an opinion or two. These pics are from this AM. just as lights shut off for the day (end of day 52). They look ready except for the amount of new white hairs that continue to grow daily, is this an issue?

I'm sure you must have figured it out by now. Microwave 10-12 secs to heat the buds to the touch. Then let them cool. Maybe only twice for popcorn buds.
