I am very temped to just cut one of the buds and quick dry it in the microwave...I know that can be tough on the lungs or can decrease the THC and I know that the buds needs curing and proper drying...but I am so tempted to taste and see/fell what I have until now...:-?

I'd fight that urge if I were you man, cos what you're going to taste is going to be so sub-par to what you will end up with if you dry/cure properly that you would think it's not the same thing ^^

You waited 100 days for this, you can wait another 2 weeks :P

you can chop a small bud and quick dry but i wouldnt use the microwave, wrap it in tinfoil and set the oven to lowest temp and check every 3-4 min, take it out and put it in a bag till its moist again, maybe an hour or 2 and then repeat the oven process.

it wont taste the best but it will still get you baked.

people hate on cutting a bud early but its whatever really. especially near the end.

day 99 and 50 into flowering. She is well, soil is very dry...so I will water again. I tasted it her yesterday. Cut off a small part of a bud. Quick dry it on the heater. Taste...strong and it wasn't perfectly dry. Felt it on the lungs. Effect... managed to get high a bit, the effect was short. It was good. When I will properly cut and cure, I guess it will improve. I am thinking to harvest this Sunday and to leave the lower buds on for another week or so.

gave it 4.5 l of water with some Canna Calcium. She is thirsty. That's a good sign. I'll see how she behaves.

is it? I am able to watch it. Maybe your country blocks it or doesn't have the right or something? ACTA is entering the fuckin system. It will be chaos! we are fucked. Imagine whenever you'll travel abroad with your laptop or external hard disks they'll check you and they'll go inside it to see if you have any forbidden or pirated movies/music/softs. And they'll give fees for this and take or destroy your things. Plus the fact that your internet provider will monitor your internet traffic and if you like to enter to some so called forbidden sites like...let's say this forum (cause it's teaching people how to grow their own shit) then the internet provider will report to the police saying look where this guy is entering and look how many times a day is doing that. And the police will start monitoring you...so this is ACTA

Day 100 with 51 into flowering. Bad news, I found it this morning she main stem bended over and broke. Now I am thinking to cut some other brunches down and to leave only the bottom ones where the buds are not yet done.

usually for how long should I wait for the leaves to dry until I can start making hash?
thats a shame she broke but i do gotta say we told ya so :)

i made hash with my trim the same day i chopped and it wasnt that great definatly could taste the chlorophyl . i would chuck that trim in a paper bag and let it dry for 2-3 days after its pretty much dry toss the trim in the freezer untill you are ready to make the hash this will get everything frozen and ready to knock off the leaves, your looking to extract all the trichomes and leave the other material behind.

what method of hash making are you going to do?

thanks for the video. I will make it with the cold water method since I don't have any dry ice or butan or pure alcohol for the other methods. The one with the coffee paper filters. Thanks again for the info!

Day 101 with 52 into flowering. The rest of the plant looks ok, the buds that were on the bottom are starting to develop well. The soil is almost dry so tomorrow I'll give some water. The top of the plant is hanging for drying and I'll live it a total of 3-5 days until I'll start the cure. Remember I told you guys that 2-3 days ago I've tried it(cut a small part of a bud and quick dry it), hated the taste...too strong and the feeling on the lungs, again too strong. I presume that's the chlorophyll (?)

HOLLY CRAP!!!! I hope this stays in the Civilized world and doesn't spill too fast to the Third World.....But I'm sure they will be "Modernising" us as well :(
