I harvested some today and I cut them too short like not much stem on the end of the bud so I can't really hang em. What should I do? Im thinking just like leave em on a tray and flip them over every once in a while until its time to put them in the jar to cure.

can put them in a paper bag instead of hanging them..flipping them every few hours..can go back and forth between the paper bag and the jars.

Paper bag idea works, don't close too tightly. Check them once a day and kinda toss inside bag. 3-5 days, depending on room temp, humidity, etc., then you can begin a burp cure.

Fish hooks are fine, but a roll of baling wire, cut in 3" lengths, make "hook" with needle nose plier on each end, and "Viola", perfect hooks to hang your buds. I don't care for the paper bag or screen methods because of the loss of trichomes in handling and moving the product around during the drying. Good luck & good grow.......BB

BTW, if you don't want to mess with making your own hooks, use Christmas tree ornament hangers. BB

I use tie wire, like the guy above was saying. You can do the same thing if you cut up a wire coat hanger. I also agree that hanging is the best option. More free moving air around the buds, and no surfaces for trichomes to stick to.

fish hooks were a good idea but yours is better. i can picture someone jumping up and down cussing with a fish hook drove through their thumb.

Might be a bitch to find Christmas tree ornament hooks this time of year.
I just either pull open the lower part of the bud & hang with that or use the screen method. If you're really worried about losing a few trich's lay down a newspaper under the screen & collect it later.
