So my plants and buds are looking great. I have maybe 2 weeks left until harvest and I plan on curing after drying. Does anyone have any suggestions on drying and curing? There's so many different opinions out there I'm confused, lol. I don't have a clue and could really use some instructions.
As a new grower I share your discomfort about internet information. You will never get one andswer even if you ask people a simple math problem. You must research the topics and come to your own conclusions.
A good start is howtogrowweedeasy. Another are videos on youtube from respected schools and long time growers. When you use the search function here on rollitup you will get some great answers and some not so great answers. Choose the posters who have complete techniques and pictures and are obviously proud of the work they do.
The last thing, for more concrete diffinitive answers like PH control or how much weed can I get in a 3x3 tent with 400 watts of lights you can ask one of the GP otherwise known as 'ai " searches.
I used it for questions like " using as many sources as you can what is the average range of PH in a DWC cannabis grow"
The answer will be like you asked Spock.
I tried this with water levels and netpots and the answer was pure comedy gold.
" There is no consensus on water levels and from resource searching It does not appear that it matters." was the reply.
Also Do Not fall into bias anywhere on the internet. I see this time and time again where someone asks a question and 5 people tell them what they do n
ot want to here and then that one guy will spout what you WANT to hear and you go with your bias. Never seems to work out for us new growers when it happens.
Anyways look around for drying and curing and you will notice some trends. Dry at 55-60 RH till stems snap and then into a cure pouch or mason jars to be Burped. Shoot for 60% RH in the room you burp. Hang the plants.
Lay the plants on a drying rack.
Use a dehydrator like the commercials growers do.
The choices are endless.
