Beautiful pics. Those are some good looking flowers. Lush. Great work. How was the smoke? If it was good my bet is it'll be better when its dried and cured.

golfnrl The smoke when flash dried (electronic fireplace heater for about 4 hours on low) was amazing.

Tasted like mids because of the flash drying, but man oh man is it a hitter. The colas I took off was a medium side branch too, so I'm sure the final product will be off the rails

I plan to chop the entire plant, no trim, no defoliation, and hang it whole for 10-14 days.

You got antly tips for drying without problem?

I normally wet trim, but I kinda like the idea of drying the entire plant. I had to do that last summer and turned out I kind of liked it because the plant dried slower. I think it was in the tent drying for about 12-14 days. I used the small stem snaps approach to help me determine when it was ready to jar up. As long as you control the temps 68-72 and the RH around 50 you'll be good. Dry in a dark place. No moving air over or around the plant. When you jar up watch the RH don't let it get above about 65. 58-62 is ideal. Burp the jars daily for a while. I burp jars for 14-30 days depending on the steadiness of the RH and smell. I've found that when I do these things the weed improves during the cure. It gets tastier and more potent.

60/60 used to be the rule of thumb on the dry, so 60⁰F & 60% RH. It may have changed a little, not sure, but I try and dry as slow as possible the first few days so even colder and slightly higher RH if I can.

I can just get those figures in my basement and wet trimming gives me about a 7 day dry. The slightest air movement will speed it up a fraction.

I like to wet trim even though dry trimming is 10 times faster & easier just because of the decreased risk of developing mold. I also love the look of wet trimmed buds
