Well then I am learning. Because I said just that. That it could be a month. Here is the plant last night. She's a ways out yet from harvest I agree. Really finding it hard to see through that scope. Just such a tiny area you re dealing with compared to the overall plant.Agree, greylord. I'm finiahing up my first plants here soon, I thought my Bubba kush was done weeks ago but now I see what a difference those last few weeks make. What a great thread, he basically detailed all of the left out info that a lot of the other tutorials leave out, like cutting any leaf with a stem all the way to the stalk. I was wondering about those little sticks myself... And the pictures of the amber trichs (at a distance) really helped too. I've been studying up on harvesting lately and felt like something was still missing until I read this thread.
And grasscropper, I'm not sure if I see any ambers in there. Maybe an orange hue in the picture from something, but definitely not ready; the calyxes don't even look swollen yet, that plant has weeks, maybe a month from the looks of it. I am a total noob, but that's what mine looked like at about 4-5 weeks
wait, so u take them, cut em down. trim them and straight to jar?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. if it is extremely wet i dump it out for a day. if it is moist but not damp then i simply leave the lid open for the day. at the end of the day i close the lid and start over. i continue to do this until the bud has reached the moisture level that i so desire. some like dry crispy buds, others prefer them gooey. once you have reached the moisture level you desire you can seal the jar and store. the longer stored the more the bud will cure. i like to leave mine on the somewhat moist side because it dries a little every time i open the jar to remove some. by the time i get to the bottom it is usually crispy.

it is a good idea to check your buds well before storing long term. excess moisture can cause problems.
You really need to read from the start.bump for an answer to my question on the last page
thanks. but what I was asking this guy was if he literally just cuts the buds down and puts them in jars with no dry?!!You really need to read from the start.
You hang your plant for a few days until it feels dry, then you pop the buds into a jar. But you really do need to read the opening thread to do this method properly.
Nuances can be lost in print. Yeah the thought of not drying first.....quick way to ruin good bud.thanks. but what I was asking this guy was if he literally just cuts the buds down and puts them in jars with no dry?!!
