Day 2.5 of drying and the smell of the buds is really starting to become pungent. I bought the Cheese strain and whoever found this strain wasn't lying. It is a really unique...cheesy smell i guess. How long does it take you guys to dry your buds on average? 5 or 6 days right?

Mine takes from 3 days to 2 weeks. depending on bud size, air circulation, temp., humidity etc.
Usually a week is fine drying from the top of my growroom while stats are ideal for flowering.

I'd guess 38 grams.
Your plant doesn't look burnt that badly.

Yeah, my smallest buds usually dry within four days, five to seven days for the larger ones. Times may vary with your environment, so don't go by any set time schedule.

Yeha its day 3.5 and I just check and they are certainly not dry. Even the small buds. I am guessing it'll take atleast another 2 or 3 days...

Its about to be the end of day 6 of drying and they are def still not done. Tried to smoke a very small nug and it was hard to light and the stems bend instead of snap still. I plan to give them maybe 1 to 2 day more of drying, then it will be time to cure.

They have def lost some weight due to all this drying. Not as dense as I had thought/hoped they would be nor are they as crystally as I expected. This is ok because this is my first grow and I did a TON of things wron gthat I can fix my next girl (who is currently at day 3 in flower!)

I'll keep you guys posted

It done drying!

So after seven days of drying I am proclaiming the buds dry. The buds have now begun the curing process and have been put into a big glass container with a rubber seal. The container is being kept in my dresser droor and will stay there (except for bi-daily moisture ventings) for 3-5 weeks. I want a good long cure for the best possible buds.

As for the weight, we were way off. I cut out all of the major stems and weighed the remaining buds and it came out to a very VERY satisfying total of 70.3 grams! I had to double check myself but thats what it came out to. I plan to lose 10-15 grams to the curing process which will prob bring me to around 60 grams! Considering this is from only one plant and was flowered using just a 150 watt hps I'd say thats pretty good. I will let you know how it is on potency.

all I gotta say is...WHOOP WHOOP
