Im bout to do some chopping soon but i`m gonna wait to post my picks here in a week or so.. but i will take a few shots here in a minute and revise my post with them for quick reference.

I got Lemon skunk,Super Lemon Haze,Strawberry haze,White Widow,Church,Hawaiian Snow,Ice,Medi-Bud,Great White Shark,

I think i might have nute lock-up going on because shit isn`t filling out it seems.,, any input would be helpful but my main concern is whether they look finished as i lost my start date of flowering on a piece of paper and ive been so blown i cant remember anything so im gonna be kinda guessin..

really thats the best and only way as far as im concerned.. if you cant hang em to dry in a well ventillated cool area then u run a major risk of bud rot mold all types of bad shit.... i hang in cardboard boxes that have 2 sides cut out and string ran bewtween them.. but they r still in well ventilated open areas

I've seen a method of hanging them outside in burlap bags. If you have nothing better you might look into it.

I cut, trimmed and hung the buds in my grow box with the lights off and the fans running. I put one of those DampRid tubs in the box too. Buds tried enough to go into jars in 4 days. I don't do a perpetual grow so I was lucky enough to have that space. See the 4 day bud dryer thread on Rollitup - that looks interesting too.

On my last harvest I took fdd's advice and cut when they were slightly crispy on the outside of the bud but the stems were still _slightly_ pliable. I made sure I opened the jars daily. The alfalfa/green smell was dominant for about 4-5 days in the jars. By the end of the week the alfalfa/green smell was gone and the smell of the buds was starting to really come out. By the end of the 2nd week in a jar they stunk good.

Up until a month or a month and a half into the cure they will continue to develop terpenes and terpenoids through decarboxylization, getting an even deeper smell and flavor.:weed:

i miss answering half the questions here. i do my best to get them all, but i miss. cool to see everybody else helping others. i like this thread.

sometimes if you leave to much leaf on your bud that smell will never go away. :(

otherwise i think smokealotapotamus pretty much covered it. :wink:
