Under Grow/How to Grow Marijuanna do a search of the titles for the word 'cure'

Thanks salt I've been doing a lot of reading and research on the subject it seems like She's lost a lot of smell in the last few days not sure if that's normal I dried one small bud it had no smell or taste and Wasn't very strong at all I cut and trimmed the nugget and hung it in a cardboard box for a few days I'm very disappointed I don't want the rest of it to turn out the same way not sure what to do but I'm definitely going to do some more research before harvesting the rest

Do you have a bud scope or jewlers loupe bro? She looks like she has some time to go to me by looking at pics. She has alot of fresh white pistils still, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. Best way to judge is by trichomes!!

Yes get a loupe. They are cheap.

I harvest when trichomes are at 20/30% amber and all cloudy but others differ. It's a matter of opinion.

Try to slowly dry the branches for 7 to 10 days and then trim and jar. Keep in a cool dark area for as long as possible, cracking the jars at least 3 times a day for the first week to keep humidity down.
I use boveda packs to cure my buds. It's easy and painless.

In my dry state I water a day before harvest to get plant full then harvest next day right before lights come on so the plants chlorophyll will be at its lowest. After 30 minutes to a hour after lights on the plant will have the highest levels of chlorophyll running though it. Just in case you have not learned that.

That's great advice. I'm harvesting on Sunday and wouldn't have known to do that. Thx.

Heres a question: my lights go off at 8am. I'd like to harvest Sunday morning after lights out. How long after lights out will the chlorophyll be at its lowest again and good for harvest? 30 mins to an hour?
