harvesting HELP!

How crucial is the drying and curing process? if i fuck up will my sensimellia even get me high? im really nervous about this part

 

[GrowSpecialist]

Yeah its crucial... but its pretty simple. As long as you dry them in a dark, cool, well ventilated place until the outside of the buds are dry... and then put them in air tight containers (in the same conditions) and open each container every day for a few weeks or until the buds have dried evenly and no longer smell like Chlorophyll, then everything will be fine.

Well I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do then. They won't taste nearly as good if you don't cure... but it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck anyway.

so its still gunna be fiya? im still gunna get a airtight jar and leave in there. while im conuming? thanks yo

airtight jar + wet weed = mold
give it the first 3 days at least hanging upside down in the dark, then if you have to use some cfl lights on em 24 hours for a quick 3 or 4 day drying time. If you don't dry it properly, it will make you cough up a lung and taste like wet grass but you'll still get baked... not as baked, but close to.

Better yet, hang in upside down in the dark for 6 days, buy a 40$ dehydrator and finish it in likr 6 hours in the dehidrator, I think that would be your best bet. You want to dehydrate the leaves anyways to make bud butter or oil or whatever you please/

 

[2hiegh4u]

no cfls. i was thinkin hang dry each branch for abou 6-7 days. then put in jars and start smokin.

 

[MasterMD22]

it will still be too wet for jars in 7 days in the dark. They will be moldy in a few days after you jar them.

A fan in the dark will dry them pretty quick...

wt does chlorophyll smell like?? fresh plant?

 

[gardenandcats]

I often jar mine after 7 days. Never have a problem. But I do open the jars for a few hours daily for the first week of being in the jars.

Yes. You know what it smells like when someone has just cut their grass? Thats what Chlorophyll smells like.
