This is the dried buds from inside choc. I had to trim really close to remove the damaged brown leaves from spider mites infestation during early flowering. Only 51 grams, but I'll take it!

They look great! If you run low on jars you can pack those a bit tighter.

And now for the outside choc. I really messed this one up.
- Left to dry too long
- found worms when trimming closer
- found brown spots from worms
- found a lot more DE while trimming
- Since both DE and bud worms dehydrate buds, this created a much bigger problem than I anticipated.

Now left with this. It's very dry and was difficult to trim leaves off without crushing it. There are bits of DE so I'm not sure if I can use any of it for edibles. UGH.

So, it doesn't have to be 2/3 full?

No problem ingesting the DE. Cook away!

Not once you're done burping. When you seal for the cure you can get them at least 3/4 full. Mine tend to get stacked (though not packed) to the lid.

Ty. In that case I'm going to try my hand at a tincture and make a lot of edibles.

I'm completing this journal!
Thanks so much Shed for all your help and great suggestions. I had no idea where this would take me, but now I'm hooked. Do you have a favorite charity?
