Headier than thou? I seem to keep running into kids who make more money than is good for them, they then forget how to share and be nice to people just for the sake of helping another human being. Doesn't the world have enough jaded people? Attitudes like that stifle personal and communal growth. Take it elsewhere.

Hmmmm.... fair enough lol... I still maintain my position though

wow is about all I can say at this point. Anyone that thinks curing is a waste of time or that a quick dry and smoked will taste as good or be as potent as slowly dried and properly cured bud doesn't have any taste buds. Drying and curing is your most important part of your grow period. The grass taste and smell comes from the green in your plant, chloropyll. As your buds dry and cure this all breaks down, you also have many chemical processes going on. Ya'll dry and cure anyway you like and smoke that harsh tasting stuff, I'll keep smoke that has cured for at least 6 months.

I understand the title says about flushing but it is in depth and covers many of the plant processes.......many of you that have posted in this thread should read this as your intro into biology of a plant.

Have a great day

So far I've learned nothing , except for the fact that some people like to bicker back and forth. I'm a complete newbie and on my very first grow. I still have about 4 weeks until harvest and trying to figure out this drying thing so that I'm ready when the time comes. Here's my thought on a possible drying technique, but I'm a newbie so someone please tell me if this will work or the simplest method possible.

I have a 10 gallon rubber tote that I'm gong to cut a hole in the bottom and place it over top of an air conditioning vent. That will make it cool and circulate the air inside. Then I'm going to put some string in it across the top and hang my buds from there. Short, and simple. Will that work ? It's kind of a stealth grow and I can't let anyone else in the house know I'm growing so I try and keep everything in my bedroom. Cn someone point me in the right direction please nd make it as simple as possible ?

Don't cut a hole in your tote. String them up as you planned but just have a fan blow across the top of the tote. You don't want direct airflow on the buds. By blowing across the top you will create a gentle draft through the drying area. Be sure the buds don't touch each other or the sides. Let them hang till the stem snaps not bends.

My last two harvest I used an "Advanced Nutrients - Quick Cure Drying Rack" for all of my buds. This time I decided to empty my wire shelf storage rack and use spring clips.
