Got some nice colas of plushberry that smell like sweet tarts! It looks like a nice haul and this was one of the lil bitches. I can't wait till I chop some of the bigger ones. Another thing I found out is that trimming is A LOT OF WORK! Pics later!

Yeah I saved all the trim. Either going to make bho or bubble. I haven't decided yet but I'm leaving toward bho.

from what ive read, keep a ocillating fan in there ,not pointed on the plants but just to stir the air up.leave it for 5 days for so until the stems snap or nearly snap then put the stuff in jars ,and take the stuff out once a day for 30 mins for a week ,then every other day for a week ,then once a week for a week..

Bubble refers to water extraction with ice through mesh bags. BHO is solvent extraction with Butane, or other solvents. Iso extraction can make BHO-like extracts, basically just by briefly rinsing the buds.

Everyone has their preferences on drying, always hanging the branches upside down, sometimes trimming the big leaves first and small ones several days later, or full trim first, or full trim last.. They say you should seal it airtight for curing when the stems can break easily, but I've noticed that the stems dry out first from the top (when upside down... actual 'tops' are at the bottom), so you can cut the branches into 1' lengths and dry them like that. Basically when its lost half its weight, start the curing phase, be careful of mold. The buds shouldn't feel damp to the touch, or just barely damp.. If you pinch a little, and you feel a slight dampness, thats the perfect time to lock it away for 2-3 weeks for curing.

Any tips on drying/curing? I trimmed wet and got it hanging on a line in my closet.
That's right...and putting a fan in there will make everything dry too fast...just make sure that the closet in question is nice and dry...Our place stays pretty dry, but it takes 3 oz about 3 days to dry hanging in my closet on strings...so somewhere around there for you as well.

Once it feels pretty crispy I put it in jars and for the first couple days the jars are open more than they are closed, but I just kinda check it...I mean if it feels wet and sticky again then leave the jar open...if it still feels pretty dry then close the jar back up...

The easiest way to cure is the way I do my trim...when I cut it off I cut it straight into a cardboard box...that when I am done I just shove under the bed until I feel like taking it out...lol. It is always nice and crispy and sparkly...just the way I like my trim...lol
