Your new grow looks interesting dlf. Are those colas that you have hanging from your Blue Mistic? Either way, could you pull down one or two and put your scope on the trichs and let us see? Looks like she did a wonderful job for you dude. Jamaica Airee tonight! Peace
:peace:
No have not grown the Blue Mistic yet Those colas are from some bag seed..:weed: Like Stew said I don't want to be messing with them to much But I will try maybe tomorrow to get some pics for you B.D.

"Buds needs complete darkness while drying to retain potency. The more they are handled or put in the light, the less potent they become. due to degrading THC.

Curing should also be done in complete darkness."

I agree on complete darkness (with air movement). A minute or two of light should not have any noticable effect though. If not taking the cola down for a minute, then get a couple sugar leafs. IMO, the curing is equally important to me, but storage is the end result that one should be critical on. I use clip top jars that seal tightly with RH packs inside. I then burp every 4-6 days. It works for me.

Take your time. Slowly collect the gear, once you have it all. hook it up and expand your operation. :)

Tent's from Ebay are fine to work with. Don't have everything hanging and pulling on the top and they don't collapse.
Just hang your lights and that's it.
Once you have to hook up filter and fan, move the tent to a wall, and hang directly to studs.
This is better than trying to hold extra weight.
you can always use HVAC tape to seal up the holes in the mylar once you remove the fan.

If you ever need assistance finding the right things for cheap prices to buy let me know. I've spent $2000 on this grow.
But that's since may. I had only my tiny Blue Dream clone on page 6 of Dreaming Big(now my mother), and a Trainwreck seeding.
I bought seeds, soil, containers, tent, lights, humidifier, fans, filter, blah blah blah over the course of a few months.
Collecting what was required to flower while i was vegging with the minimum amount of what I had.

Thanks for all the help Stew

It is certain that a "48hr dark period" at the harvest time increases thc and overall resin production as trichomes regenerate at night to gear up and protect the plant from damaging uv rays during daylight. I've personally seen plants become "wet" with resin, smearing anything and everything with a stinky glossy sheen after 2 days in the dark.

As for ten days I think that's excessive. I have never known any professional commercial growers to use this technique. I myself would be worried about mold and bugs. Is the "10days" said to increase yield or resin production?

As any grower knows a lot can go wrong in 10 days.

Adequate ventilation should prevent mold I'd think...just my two cents;) as for bugs, maintaining a clean environment should take care of that, assuming the grow has been kept bug free from the start? I dunno...I've heard a lot of back and forth about the 48 to 72 hour darkness thing, I've done it myself, but only twice, so...
