My first grow

my dry was really easy but my RH was steady 60-65% the whole time 6 days total and then into the mason jars. as a beginner, i trimmed about 2oz per hour. i was just over 4 hours and ended with 8 oz plus 2 of trim. so, you can use that as a guess when you are trimming, i am pretty sure you are going to be pulling more than i did my first run.
I'll keep in mind how much time it takes me to trim it may help me to find out a estimate of my results I'll be happy with 4 zips but anything more is a bonus lol

Curing is the easiest part in my opinion compared to the amount of time and attention put in to produce something for cure.
#Sorry late reply
Wow! It is the most complex thing I have ever done but now is simple, after a few batches had to sacrificed to hay. Keeping ideal drying enviro was not easy and multi stage controlled drying. Growing is a snap, mistake can be fixed Curing mistake not so easy, maybe mold or over dry and never hits 56-65.. IMO of course.

Bubba produces 500-750g m2 under good conditions.

I feel like curing is just patience and regular monitoring. And being cleanly during dry and jaring. More time in a jar the better it will get(humidity dependent)

I hope I don't get mold on my plants that would blow and the shitty part is that now as of two weeks ago I start working crazy hours and have had no consistency in hours had to do a new career change but it's worth it in the long run should I leave all the fan leafs on when I cut to slow the dry time or be cautious and cut them all off do to my new job? I live in SoCal so it's no real humid here at all and the humidity has been between 30 and 50%. Should I cut the whole plant at the base and flip it upside down and leave it? any advice on it would be great

This is what I am doing ATM(works great for me). Everyone has their own way they like as long as it don't over dry or mold you are golden..

Flush 12-14 (or more)Days.
During the last week I prune off big fan leaves.
Last 24-48 (or more if I aint ready) hours of lights off.
Cut plant at base and hang the whole thing for 48 hours.
Chop it down to branches and hang those for another 5 days. (controlled dry).
Trim it, put into non airtight tubs with hygrometer(s) popping lids and shaking periodically until it holds a RH of 65% in those.(controlled dry)
Manicure (if needed)
Transfer to jars or whatever final cure happens in for you at hold RH of 56-65%

#NoLight during dry or cure.
#Temps&RH under control.

Im sure other will jump in with advice or tips.
