70-78 should be a safe range for your drying temps. MANICURE THE BUDS NOW! Anything Ive ever read about harvesting, advises to trim the plants BEFORE drying/curing. It saves a lot of time and trouble,"

Also, sorry, they wont get fluffy again. buds lose about 75% of their weight when they dry. They will get sticky though.

Good job.

P.S. great job on the dry cab, ita amazing the things we can invent for marijuana.

hell yea for mary on mary lol but i heard its not good to expose them to light while in the drying process i dont wanna take them out and i did help a few leaves off the plant and it was beyond STICKY i cant wait!!!!! but should i really take them off now or it dont really matter ? cause i dont mind the hassle if taking it off later but i wannna make sure it dont effect the plant

A little bit of light's not really gonna hurt anything. It's not like having to worry when you've just put your babies on 12/12 and have to go check something during their dark period.

Fuck. YES. (shoulders sag) I made the mistake of starting at 4pm last night, trimmed for close to six hours straight, stopped at 10pm because I was so knackered. Started up again this morning at 8, finished at 10am, and.. yes. It's easier when they're fresh.

Yes! (no additional fucks needed at this time)

so i took out the buds earlier today finished the manicure as well as i can do and put them in my jar felt realll dry tho alsmot as if it dried to quick might have been to much air circulating in my lil box and it doesnt smell as much as it use to when it was as a plant. is that normal or did i do something wrong


so also this is all i got out of her still has alot of trichs cant wait to taste!!!!!

Do the stems snap? The buds can easily be rehydrated, there are a couple of methods.

yea actually the stems feel pretty stiff just before snap they feel solid but after enough pressure it bends

and i updated the pics better quality

Mmmmm Dunkin Donuts!!!!!

Nice looking bud there. Good job and congrats.

another week and youl be good homie.... pe@ce.....

thanx i hope all this work pays off hope it smokes good just got it in that jar under my bed

Dont worry about the smell. Buds, just need to be cured is all. There's a whole forum for that. Check it

Wow. I've gotta say, if everything in this life comes so easily to you, yours must be charmed. That looks downright professional.

shit i wish evertyhing in my life comes this easily (no homo) but i did read alot on this site and learned alot from you guys that basically been helping me through this with what i didnt know so thanx to you guys she came out this way i no my manicuring wasnt too great tho, btw is there something wrong with my jar i can smell the bud when its under my bed and i put it in under water to c it theres n e gaps n no bubbles come out but still can smell her through the jar and under the bed

Oooh.. man. I don't know if I can help you very well there, my place STINKS and my husband keeps commenting on it every day when he gets home from work. I was forced to harvest some girls I wasn't ready to just yet, and to keep the branches fresh for trimming work (it's a lot easier when it's fresh and all) I put them in a Ziploc baggie and put 'em in the fridge. He made me take them out because it stunk so bad (according to him, I didn't think it was that bad).

How about some Febreeze, judiciously applied to the right places? (Behind the knees, ears, neck, and at the elbows and wrists, just like my mother taught me. )

Hi all,

saw this thread and was drawn in. I have seldom had good luck bringing outdoor plants inside or vice versa though a strong fan indoors helps them to make it outdoors (I'm in Ks and its windy) the one time I did have success I brought them inside a makeshift greenhouse (replaced the top of my shed with windows instead of tin) and I actually got two harvests from the plants though the second not as much as the first.

its been 15 yrs since i tried indoors and back then I had a blue and a red light which worked fine if the plants were started in there but they never seemed to work well with outdoor plants. Of course there are many other factors that could have contributed but was curious if anyone has had success growing them to a near mature budding phase and then moving them inside, so to prune and try and get a second growing out of them.

maybe I'm just getting a continuation of the same growth as I sure wouldn't argue with the experts here but it seems like a second growth. in some cases I've even had them elongate (probably not spelled right) where they reverted back to a growing stage but the plants never really did anything past that because I trashed them when the others were ready and they hadn't done anything impressive towards flowering.

Seems like they did kinda flower but I grew to think it would be quicker and better to just start another crop than wait these strange looking plants out to see if they ever amounted to anything.

tell us the overall weight when dried

You might get an oz. out of it. But, from the looks. It's going to be a killer oz.

so im pleased to say i weighed her today and got a nice 28 grams HOLLA!!!!!! lol but i can hoonestly say with bs mistakes and the curiosity to test it i prob lost about a good 5-6 grams mainly bs mistakes i dont want to think about to much i was gonna die when i accidently cut my biggest cola and the top on abou 7 weeks into the growth long story short it sucked!!! and im starting to think about it now but either way cant complain its life i lost 6 and got away with 28 great how life works huh.....

This is exactly the plan with the majority of my girls. The first one went in under the fluoros (24/0 photoperiod) a couple of days ago. I have another that I only did a partial harvest on and she's still finishing up outside. Because I harvested the one who's under the lights and left very little vegetation, it becomes a bit like a clone, except that it's already got a good root system established. Just have to re-grow those leaves, and maybe become a mommy.

With proper lighting they should, I hope. Are you saying that once the plant's begun inside that it will never grow "properly" under indoor conditions? In other words, that I may be wasting my time going for a re-veg with these girls? I don't expect them to bud as well as outside, but I'm hoping that I can at least get another harvest, and definitely more clones.

Seems like they did kinda flower but I grew to think it would be quicker and better to just start another crop than wait these strange looking plants out to see if they ever amounted to anything.

I don't see why a decent crop couldn't be had with HID lighting (I plan on high pressure sodium for flowering, been looking at those dual-ballast/bulb conversion set-ups).
