pure water for 2 weeks before cutting down. thc joe
thanks still about 3-4 weeks left on the plant didn't know to do it on the last plant =P
when you cut a plant down early it will smell like hay when it drys. check the trichs before chopping.
I agree with tex, genetics is everything. You can take the best cut, screw it, and dry it any way you want, its still going to be dank. lol On the other hand you can give crap to a master grower and you still get crap.
Allow for a slow and long dry with all the leaves on the plant, if ya want, you can cut the large fan leaves only. I allow for a min of 14 days to about 21 days for drying. I do not remove anything from the plant during this time. Once stems crack, I jar up and ready. Burp as will..

Tex said:My gear st8 off the vine will be chem funk, kerosin fuel, or pineapple skunk piss, whatev. I used to think that all herb needed a "cure" to get that chem, skunk, sweet, or hashy smells and tastes. Not so.. Granted it helps a lot and helps the breakdown process.. But it all comes down to genetics, imvho..

virgil said:it actually seems like pretty good genetics but it's just bag seed but it has to be atleast decent genetics
Im with you on this Fader, i dont see the point of paper at all in curing. i rack it for 14 days or more sometimes, then straight to jars and burp for 15mins ish a day for a few weeks, drying/curing is almost an artform in itself, imo the longer it takes the better the taste/smell. for example my winter weed is alot nicer than my summer weed if i dont meddle with humidity.
i have heard that paper absorbs resins though which is the main reason i dont use it.
for the best smell make sure the plant is really dry before you put it into jars or bags. i dont mean like brittle dry i just mean dry enough so that when you put it into jars it dont sweat and get real wet again. a little moist is good but to moist and you will lose your smell.
