Nice man! that looks similar to my harvest in cola sizes, I did keep my light no more and no less than an inch away the whole time it was growing so that could be why it was short and fat, it was only a foot tall :P

3 of mine are all one feet tall so ill show you them when i harvest but this one was like 2 feet. The out door one is like 3 feet.

thanks man i still got 3 more indoor ones and the outdoor one.
I tried the microwave trick on one of the lower buds but some wack shit happened.
I didnt bring any of my pieces to my summer house so the j i rolled with my left hand and my right index/middle finger was soooo bad.
Every time i lit it would just explode, prob cus the shitty roll and microwaved weed, anyway all i got was two solid hits and they just made me super hungry with a small head high.
im going to have to wait till they are cured :(

Well now I know not to try the microwave trick lol.. I don't blame you for waiting to cure them! I'll do the same, maybe one little sample bud just to see how it is..

nice looking harvest bro...let that batch dry out and cure really nice...thats when it will start getting more aroma to it.and ive never understood the microwave to quick dry buds...the way i see it is if the thc is held mostly in the resin...wouldnt it evaporate and dry up resin...half cooking it at the same time...even in short bursts in the microwave?and how good can radiation be on it....i know it cant help the taste...ever cook a hot dog in one of those things...i know you only did it to try a sample out...but some people cure all their weed that way..some soak it in water first also..never understood that.

water curing is much faster than the conventional method, however there are downsides. There are some good threads about it here on RIU

haha yeah man i would never cure it with a microwave or radiator. I was just too impatient to not smoke a little after 9 weeks of waiting.

ive read a couple threads on it too...i just wouldnt do it.after all the time to grow it and the effort to give it all it needs...id rather wait the 2-3 weeks for it to properly cure then lose the taste,make it harsh,and make the bud look like crap.but everyone has their own method...none is really wrong..its all about preference.

You dont always have to water cure your entire harvest haha, you can as a side experiment try it out with some of the smaller colas

bro once they are done and dry they will no longer be airy and not easy to press in. it could still be moisture in ze nugs which is what is making them soft and airy.

btw check out my newest grow whenever you get the chance

With a proper cure they will get nice and dense. As Blue said thats just the moisture. They were stiff before now they are like fresh cut grass. The chlorophyll will leave the material and hard sticky resin will be left behind in a few weeks.

I'm tellin you though, wait to divulge in your smoke until about week 5. I found that after about 5 weeks the maximum potency was reached. Yeah, it gets stronger.....
