Urban legend if you ask me. I "hear" that if you chop the whole plant, hang upside down until dry, then trim the buds, that the buds retain a better smell. My stuff always smells good, so I never tried that technique.
A local Native American I know removes the whole plant, root ball in tact, and boils the root ball with the plant attached. He boils for about 2 hrs then hangs the plant w/root ball still attached upside down, then trims when dry. I tried this and found no difference accept a lot more work.
Try one of your plants one way, then another plant a different way and see what works for you.

I hang the whole plant when it's to dry and I want to slow initial dry time. I have noticed a difference in taste doing this, slower equals better and when its dry and hot small branches or nuggs hanging in baskets will dry in 2 days when the whole plant will take a week or more. imo

Hey farmers i need some tips on curing. What are you using? I would need a ton of jars (did that b4 and it was hell). I've heard about Turkey bags and those machine sealed freezer bags. Not sure which way to go, but i damn sure dont want to open a million jars.
I use food grade 5 gallon buckets from Lowes.

Well this would explain why I couldn't find it on that site.

Ps I bought these at the container store in walnut creek.

Thank you sir!
Does smell leak from the storage tote when closed?
I just checked their web site and I can get 2 delivered for $63. Just wish they were black vs. clear. I see they have black ones, but more expensive and only latch on the ends......decisions, decisions.

got a questions for you guys. A fan leaf coming from one of my side buds got snapped sometime in the evening (dog is most likely culprit) but failed to fall completely off. When i saw it this morning the leaf was entirely limp and it seemed the area immediately surrounding the snapped petiole had been a little bruised... slightly darker and damper than surrounding tissue. Should i hit it with some 3% h2o2 just in case; leave it and see what happens; or just snip the bud prematurely as an extreme precaution? It's humid as fuck at night and I'm pretty paranoid about bud rot.

For some reason most of my friends are very conservative and might have a heart attack if they knew I grew pot and OMG smoked it :fire:
I'm sure they think the same about you! "He's so conservatives, I'm sure FLkey1 don't smoke or grow weed".......LOL
I had the same feeling towards a group of people I deal with in my business. Until I was invited to a poker gathering that one of them threw. WOW, I found out that I'm a "lightweight", these fuckers can party/smoke, I had no idea. They were a bit surprised too when they seen me smoke, but acted like a rookie.......how does this bong work I've never used one before?......... cough cough!:grin:
