yeah, you should be all good. 2 or 3 more days, if you need time to make room/prep for harvest, will be fine as well.

i read the intro of the thread but u didnt mention the best temp n humidity for the dry? and how about soaking my roots in water for 2 days in the dark to pull out all of the chlorophyl and then chop n hang???? also should i closely trim the buds right away or wait until dry??? i heard that when u trim it loses the smell of the bud releasing all the terpenes?
i d k....just lookn for some input.....im about to dry up some WR ...2 diff phenotypes...so im tryin to get the best end result as possible...they are my babies!!! lol

I agree with ya on that.. however, isn't it said.. that when a cannabis plant is at its full ripeness it should be cut down and harvested? I've read that, if you let the plant go past its "prime" for too long, I've read that doing this can cause the THC to convert into other less desirable chemicals. Is that true? I've never experienced it.. just have read about it here and there.
i've let plants go until they died. funny thing, i still got just as high.
can you really convince yourself that pot is no good if it grows too long? if it does break down, it breaks down into CBD's. cannabis has more than one active ingredient. most of them are DESIRABLE.
i have NEVER seen, nor smoked "over ripened" bud. if someone can show me some it may help.

lol, ive never heard of such. letting the plant just naturally expire. May have to do that someday.
Everywhere i look i see the "window theory", 5 days or so of peak primeness. great thread btw.

I have a nice 6 rack stainless steel dehydrator that can be set to 90degrees F. Would it cause me any problems to run the buds in the dehydrator for some time and go straight to the jars. I was hoping with its temps set to 90 and have a fan pulling the air out would work great as long as I didn[t dry it too much. Opinion?
i prefer a slow dry myself. it gives the green time to break down. i think quick drying can lock in some of that undesirable greenness.

No, well.. what I meant was.. that I've read quite a few articles from books where they state that.. leaving buds on the plant that are ripe, instead of picking them like you should probably go ahead and do.. but leaving them to continue in the flowering process.. instead of picking them when they're at their highest ripeness point.. leaving them to flower for more days will just make the THC breakdown into other less desirable chemicals. Like CBD and such..
That's what I was trying to say actually. Broke down into a summary.. THC will begin to breakdown and lose its potency.. and will also breakdown into other less desirable chemicals if left to flower.. past its harvest window.
For example, lets say you have an 8 week indica. Well, if you were to let it flower for 10 weeks for example, that extra two weeks isn't doing any good for the buds. It's simply making the buds lose potency and making the THC in the trichs.. breakdown to less desirable chemicals that aren't as potent as the THC its self.
Hope that cleared that up for anyone..
But yeah, I see what your saying fdd2blk. I just thought that CBD was a less potent chemical than THC was. I could be wrong I guess though.. nevermind.
peace.
if there are white hairs anywhere then the bud is still growing. as long as the bud is still growing it is still producing NEW thc. THC that is not yet ripe.
THC breaks down into other chemicals. less desirable is a matter of opinion.
i have NEVER smoked over ripened pot. at least not over ripened pot that "went bad".
CBD is responsible for the "body high". a very desirable effect sought out by medical patients such as myself. personally i enjoy being "stoned". it's why i do it.
it's all bullsh*t.

Right now i am looking into it but i thought i read some where that a really good place to cure is in a fridge, since its dark and cool.
Anyone else here this or do this ???
Been curing my harvest in the fridge for the last week and dam they look and smell incredible seriously. I have been opening the jars once or two times a day to make sure no moisture builds up but now i think the nugs are fine. The jar still does get moister on it on the outside but i don't believe any moisture is on the inside.
Long story short i dont really want to open my jars anymore unless i am going to grab something out of them, since every time i do it degrades a little and drys a little more. So should i be safe now just leaving them in there and not really checking on them for a month or when ever i need it again ??

fdd can you post the picture of the huge plant in a small pot you grew...I saw this picture the other day
on a random post and haven't been able to find it again since. looked like a 10 gallon or less pot with a beautiful trich covered plant in it,
maybe it was about plants being root bound.. Thanks in advance. Be Easy

it's on my other, broken computer.
the big fan leaves go into the compost bin. the small resin covered leaves get made into bubble hash.
