Hanging of whole plant is a way to slow down the drying, I could but if the Cola's are ready to harvest and the lateral limbs are still developing buds, what's an old hippie to do?SS
Chop the tops and hope it doesn't shock the rest of the plant so much that it stops growing? If you have time or are inside I suppose.Hanging of whole plant is a way to slow down the drying, I could but if the Cola's are ready to harvest and the lateral limbs are still developing buds, what's an old hippie to do?SS
I harvest tops all the time, let the lowers keep going, dab of bagbalm on the cut. I would weigh one of those colas daily to see when it stops losing weight, then jar.Hanging of whole plant is a way to slow down the drying, I could but if the Cola's are ready to harvest and the lateral limbs are still developing buds, what's an old hippie to do?SS
Perfect.Final update, jar stabilized right at 60%, weight loss in 24 hours is 2/10 gram, actually closer to 1/10. View attachment 1184561View attachment 1184562
Thanks but no stank here, wife likes it fruityYep 60% is a nice spot to maintain for a nice cure.
For smoking it's good for vaping but on the high end for joints or bowls. 55-58% smokes much nicer for that but it only takes a day or so max once ya pull it out of the jar to hit that.
I like to keep mine 60-63% until ready to smoke and nice and cool. Just seems to carry that stink a lot better.
Is that 71 grams with the cup or a 71 gram cutting?here's the weight I said I'd get for you @Madbud There were 2 very distinct pheno's in this run so I'm weighing 2 different buds. View attachment 1186847
cutting, scale calibrated and zeroed out. Was talking to a buddy about getting away from mason jars and trying bags. He said why? LOLIs that 71 grams with the cup or a 71 gram cutting?
I would have thought the same but it wasn't the case. Went in yesterday and finished the yellow tagged pheno. Started on the smaller buds of the red tagged pheno, processed a jar but the rest still wasn't ready. bud density is the determining factor at this point I believeI would think they are both ready, losing less than a half gram, buds snap off pretty clean? Got a humidistat for the jar? Thanks for taking the time
So they’re continuing to lose weight drying?I would have thought the same but it wasn't the case. Went in yesterday and finished the yellow tagged pheno.

Yea, I think bud density and oil content have everything to do with how much weight your going to lose. I have little doubts about that one.I would have thought the same but it wasn't the case.
