haha, its cool if it doesnt. So when do I jar them? when the stems snap? when they are crispy on the outside? They definatly have lost some weight since yesterday.

Yea, shit sorry gotta spread some more around...........
What I do is, I sweat them, so they don't get too dry too fast.
I put them on a screen for 2 days, put them in jars for 4-5 hours, put them back on the screen when wet again, when they start to get a little crispy on the outside, I put 'em back in the jars and for 4-5 more hours, until wet again, it'll start taking longer for the buds to start getting wet in the jars the more you do this. Then repeat the process for around 5 days, then leave 'em out all day on the screen and then bottle them and burp once a day, for a week then leave them to cure, but still check on them every once and awhile to burp and make sure there's no mold starting.
There's so many ways to dry, you just gotta find out which way you like your buds cured.
I find I like this way the best. It doesn't dry out your bud too quick, so you don't get that harsh taste.
Just do a little experiment, try drying some of your buds different ways and choose which 1 you like the best.

buds are lookin gorgeous! A good indicator when to start curing, is when u try to bend the stem and it snaps, i would personally at least let them dry for abour 5-7 days

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks to everyone...really. I mean this bud I just smoked is prob the best weed I have ever smoked and I owe it to everyone here. All the help and pointers you get off boards like these, is why this internet was created. I am a very anti-social in real life, anxious, add, all the above, and this is all fixed by smoking a little weed. At least it is for me. So even though I dont know you guys in real life, your my friends here for sure!!!!

Love you bitches!!!

Two of the plants (two plants by the door) are defiantly couch lock... The biggest plant will put you in one place for at least two hours. Very stoned. The other two plants are 50/50. Runt turned out freaking amazing, prob my best smoke so far, great taste and great high. Tomorrow will be five days, the smallest buds are close to being stored, but all the colas still have a little weight to them. Should I wait for everything to dry and jar all of it at once? or can I do it in sections? I would prefer to jar it all at once. I'm just rambling....

jar it all at once otherwise it will be like curing 2 different crops instead of one

Well 6 1/2 days are done and half the stems were cracking. Decided to jar today and start in 4 hours intervals until sunday and then crack them 3 times a day until desired dryness then into storage for a month. Of course ill have to fill my hitter box for vacation next month... Oh and just picked up a Phire bong today that has two water chambers...Its my favorite way to smoke now. I took one big bong hit, there wasnt a whole lot of smoke and it wasnt harsh at all..so I took another hit, same thing, not harse, not a whole lot of smoke but the buds burned well. 10 minutes later im higher than I have been in a LONG time. I am definatly not use to this weed or this new bong but I guess flushing really makes a big difference, none of these plants are harsh at all. Didnt measure the weight so I have no Idea what they all weight, but if i was to guess it would be definatly be 4 ounces or more the buds are tight and sticky. Enjoy the pictures. This will be the end of this journl and my new one will be super skunk and white widow from nirvana in 4 weeks. Thanks for everyone who followed and gave me advice!!!

175, I know its high priced but we only have one shop in town. Also he threw in a 25 dollar hitter box and rod. I guess to make me feel better. But at the same time, I really enjoy smoking this bong. Its prob the best bong I have ever smoked out of.

i def wouldnt say 175 is a lot lol I have friends who are glass collectors and they spend at least $3000 every 2 weeks on pieces. Thats a good price you got yours for :-)
are you still looking into making some hash?

Awesome, Stone. I personally would've taken a bit more leaf off there, but it's all about preference. Awesome looking smoke. Great job, Dude.
