Anywhere from 3-7 days depending on the bud and your environment. You want to start curing when the stem is still a little pliable and does not snap when bent.

You can cut the leaves off whenever. Room temperature is fine, not too cold, not too hot. And I'm not totally sure if light or dark matters but I'm guessing if it does, it has something to do with ripening up the THC.

That's my 2 cents.

You can keep them anywhere really. Just make sure it's pretty air tight. You don't want your newly cured buds getting wet and moldy.

Check out the link I posted HH. Anywhere really isn't what you want to do. Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should. Give it a quick read, it has helped many a new grower. :)

As far as what strain and where to buy. That's entirely dependent on what you are trying to do with your grows. Make yourself a list of "must haves", then start researching strains that have those traits and will work for your grow space.

Most any strain that has big bud genetics. Check out Heavy Duty Fruity. big yielder, good smoke. I threw one outside last season in a 5gal pot just for fun. pulled 5.5 dry on a 3.5 ft topped plant. I don't feel that is super impressive by any means, just giving you an example. I think 4 a plant is a little ambitious for a 2nd run, but with proper technique and strain, it's possible. Figure 3/4-1 elbow from that tent and light. I used to use a 4x4 tent with a 600w (tent is now a transition space from nursery to bloom room). Hope that helps :)

i disagree, i start the cure the day the stems snap when bent. the curing process even's out the moisture throughout the bud, so any earlier i feel like ya get soggy nugs. either way, 3-7 days hanging, then forever in a jar, and make sure you burp the jars. i also like to move it around inside the jars often. shake it around whatever. you can also throw a high end cigar in there, after a week in the jar, it wont get ya high or anything, but will have a nice bud taste, and smoking a fatty cigar while playing with jars of pot is just pimpin'

Burping the jars is when you open it everyday. Depending on how moist they are it's 15-30 min a day and once or twice a day.

THseeds has the HDF, it's about a 60/40 sativa/indica mix. Thc isn't through the roof, but definitely good. I'm not against feminized beans, just prefer regular. It's nice to be able to make your own seeds if you find a good male, you don't have to keep dumping $ on beans. I know others who love feminized, again, just like what to grow or where to get beans, clones, etc., it boils down to your personal preference and grow space.
