So I know 24-48hour dark periods have been discussed a lot to trick the plant into maximum resin production .but what about longer than that with the plant still intact until the leaves start to yellow as the chlorophyll breaks down. Surely this could work as a happy medium between a long and short cure? Allowing chlorophyll to break down and turn to sugar but not the leaves to wilt which makes trimming a pain?
What I'm basically trying to achieve here is stinking buds , low level of chlorophyll , easy to trim over a 2week drying period. My problem with the slow cure is time ,mold risk , extended risk of my land lady finding out with tent being up for weeks after their ready and the fact a lot of the terps degrade in the first week after it's chopped . 3day dried dehumidified weed smells fantastic but tastes too minty for my liking. Slow cured and dried buds taste fantastic but look and smell suffers in my opinion.
Thoughts please .
