Usually the top turns first and sugar leaves turn before calyx. Usually at the end most pistils will turn dark and start receding back into the calyx.

So, did a test on a little bud, I definitely caught a buzz, but, she’s definitely not ready.

Tangie is still getting fatter. Stems are starting to sag, might need to support them somehow. Is this common? Stems won’t snap or anything will they? From the weight of the buds?
Started flushing, not sure why as I have no opinion about flushing yet. Just want a clean tasting bud I suppose. Might not flush Kush Mass just to compare.

I had to throw stakes in my PE's when the stems couldn't hold the weight anymore. They will eventually tip over. If you lean them against something then you stop the air from flowing around. By staking them you can keep them straight and spaced.
Adding Silica as a supplement throughout the grow will help strengthen the stems holding the buds.
Smooth clean tasting buds you get from the cure, not the flush.

Comparing is the way to do it, then you can decide if it's worth it.

One of you made mention of using baked rice to assist with lowering RH. I have a small mason jar with a few grams of fresh, sitting in a sealed mason jar full of extra dried rice. The humidity is dropping a percent per minute.
This is an experiment. Only an experiment. I want to see how quick I can get this test jar to a sustainable 62% RH.
I have zero experience harvesting or curing. Kind of terrifying...

Should draw it down pretty quick.
Shed has a process that he made a thread on if you're interested in the rice balls.
Rice Balls to lower RH in jars
Let me start by talking about the success of @Scientific's oven-dried rice suggestion. :thanks: HOLY MOLY! Toss out your silicone beads and your store-bought desiccants. If you need fast and extreme dehumidifying, GO WITH RICE! The basic info is that rice took the RH in the jar from 75% to...

After 24 hours, humidity on tests buds (in rice jar) is down to 29%. I removed it from the jar and resealed it in a jar by itself. I will check the RH tomorrow and see what the humidity has risen back up to.
29% is bone dry! Be interesting to see what it comes back to.

Well, it went back up to 96% RH lol
I took it back out, back in rice.
So far, I’m going to say that the initial dry is maybe best when natural?
Seems like the test buds are a bit stringy now. Maybe due to the extremely quick dehydration?
Anyways, the RH was way to high my first grow for the buds to dry naturally, so I wanted a safe alternative to get the humidity down to a “not going to mold” level.
What do you guys think that level would be? When is it safe to contain fresh buds? I like the rice ball thing, but it doesn’t seem ideal for buds that are still green, maybe once I get them down to 75-80% ???
