Mine isn’t either. There at the point to where the outside stickiness is gone and the sugar leaves still have moisture to where they don’t snapAwesome! I can’t wait to see how it progresses. The taste isn’t 100% there yet but the smell is all there. So I’m hoping the smell comes through in taste soon.
If you go back through this thread, you will see that this is exactly what I said would happen 12 days agoAwesome! I can’t wait to see how it progresses. The taste isn’t 100% there yet but the smell is all there. So I’m hoping the smell comes through in taste soon.
I don’t know if a drying rack would’ve worked in my environment. The first two branches I chopped dried in 9 and 10 days in a closet that was 59*F and I think 45ish RH at its best. That was on full branch with fan leaves. Now I have the full plants hanging in tents....just barely reaching 60% with 2 humidifiers on full blast lol.If you go back through this thread, you will see that this is exactly what I said would happen 12 days agoIf you had put them out on the drying rack like I said for 7 days, then jars for the last cpl days, your bud would be smoking perfect by now with the full flavour
You'll get the hang of it mateI don’t know if a drying rack would’ve worked in my environment. The first two branches I chopped dried in 9 and 10 days in a closet that was 59*F and I think 45ish RH at its best. That was on full branch with fan leaves.

But in the summer time I‘ll be able to try it, because my humidity will be a bit higher, even with the AC on.
I think it was dried too fast. Thereby halting the biological processes. Leaving too much chlorophyll. Speed dried. Ruined it.I can’t find the before picture but about 2 months ago , bout the time thread started , we bought a bit of black Market smoke for my adult kids - couldn’t hardly even burn it ! Not super wet but not dry either - should put a hygrometer in there - oh well here we are two months later after a good cure burns great , stick black market crap but - bro science or not I now believe it’s at least partially a good cure .?
I had to light a one-hitter twice to see if I had white or black ash. It turned white, so I guess whatever I'm doing ends up creating white ash.I cannot recall the last time my spent bowl ever made it to white ash phase. I am a wasteful SOB when it comes to burned flowers but I kick my bowls after the first hit because it doesn't seem worth it to go back for seconds. My whole work bench is covered in unburned/black ash. Is there anything good going back for to achieve white ash? Just my random thoughts, but I enjoy my black ash now and it just becomes fertilizer for the next plants
Mine too, and just after three days of drying. Tastes damn good too. No hay smell. Genetics plays a very big role. Shitty genetics and you get crap smoke.I had to light a one-hitter twice to see if I had white or black ash. It turned white, so I guess whatever I'm doing ends up creating white ash.
LOL I hear dat. I waste lots too, only I use an ashtray.I cannot recall the last time my spent bowl ever made it to white ash phase.

NoSo you don’t think the powdered calcium landing on the buds during their formation for 2+ months could do it? I hope youre right but seems calcium buildup on buds could keep them from staying lit properly and burning black.
Carbide lamps burn Calcium Carbonate?Not really to be honest. Calcium carbonate doesn't burn and I don't know how it would adhere to the leaf for any longer than the next watering. Calcium itself is somewhere around 10% of cannabis dry weight, only second to carbon.
I don't think so, you add calcium carbonate and water to produce acetylene gas, that is very flamible.Carbide lamps burn Calcium Carbonate?
So 20 days at 45%?? This really is not the way to go, unless you want a pile of dust in the bottom of what ever you store it in afterwards.Put them back on the drying rack for another 7-10 days.
They do go crispy at first, and even crumbly, the stems snap, but this isnt ready yet. This is just a stage. They will go past that and after bout 7-10 more days will firm up with a slight bounce to them when squeezed. The small stems on the buds can even go back to bending a little bit before snapping sometimes. The smell will come back and your fingers will be sticky after you've squeezed a bud.
Back on the rack they go.
(Short answer, yes drying time was probably too short at 10 days, this time).
Bro, chill with the aggression. Your whole name is abbreviatedLetters are free here, so at least once could you spell out your abbreviations? What the heck is PGR?????
In my experience it’s the moisture content for the burn…and proper dry and cure for flavor. I do the same thing when I have to buy it. Throw it in a jar for a few weeks and usually makes it burn and taste way better. Then sell it back to the guy for double the priceI can’t find the before picture but about 2 months ago , bout the time thread started , we bought a bit of black Market smoke for my adult kids - couldn’t hardly even burn it !
