Yeah,
In the dark to stop the growth, I defintaly recommend hanging all the big buds by the end of the stalk, for atleast a week, either hanging down in a box, or closet, but they mustn't be touching each other, we dont want more problems!!

Better be safe than sorry now i would of thought. Another room, or hanging inside a box, or just freely. Dark, warm/room temp would be best.
The smell will still be a bit potent so choose wisely. Great Job though weedtastic!!!

drying
The plant will grow no longer once its been cut down. We hang to dry in the dark because heat, light, and friction speed up the degradation of trichomes. Hang em to dry for about a week I normally go 5-10 days. I don't think fish hooks are a good idea. Paperclips are cheaper and safer. Be sure to have a small fan circulating air in the room Don't train it directly on the buds, U don't want them to dry too fast.Yeah,

Nice to see those giant colas, weedtastic. Well done. Takes some of the pain out of losing some to bud rot when you have arm sized colas,lol.
I think my largest will be thumb sized,lol.

your buds have probably already been exposed but I wouldn't take any chances on losing more. Dry them somewhere else.
I'd even consider a 10 minute bake at 180f to make sure whats harvested is gonna stay happy. Dunno if thats a great idea but I'd be so paranoid about the harvest.
Then again, some of my ideas about my own plants weren't the best,lol.
i'm glad you and the wifey got some smoke out of it those nugs look yummy. I built a box out of some good lumber and hang dry my plants til the stems "snap".THe wood helps maintain the natural smell and gives just the rite amount of airflow when i crack the door oprn.this i do a ferw times a day but the room that it is in stays pitch black.I got taught this technique.Ans the people i know have been doing this same tech for over 20 years.

Looks like you salvaged some good looking weed, Great job with that. I would probably not hang the buds in the grow room. Pick a room thats dark and with good ventilation. You will have some smelly bud in that room that could travel throughout the house so keep that in mind when you pick a spot. Good luck with the drying and I hope everything turns out.

whats the issue? it shouldn't harm thc at those temps and might kill the rot. 10 mins wouldn't likely dry the bud much. care to elaborate for my education, I'm new to all this?

Well if your to take THC vapourises at around 178F Theres the 1st issue, ruining the potencecy/stength of the bud. Also quick drying will damage the glands, and weaken smell & taste!
I would/will elaborate more - but gotta pop out!
