Hey Colombo and smokey
thanks for the compliments
I have always been a woodworker (not by trade), but I do enjoy it.
I had all but given up on those clones after 3 weeks I actually opened up two of the rockwool cubes
At that time they stlll had no roots.
Guess it is good to know that after 30 days you can still get rooted clones
thanks for the compliments

Drying and curing.
I know I have probably 3 to 4 weeks left of flowering.
However I have been looking for information on drying and curing.
Seems most of what I have found is based on users who inhale 😎 LOL
I am growing for edibles only (mainly coconut oil capsules, and the occasional Canna butter).
It seems to me that the drying and curing process might be different for me?
Any special instructions for medical edibles growers?
Any differences in harvesting or trimming?
I had planned on using as much plant material as I can

Hi Cannacaps4U2 It looks like those plants have more than 3-4 weeks left????? Did I miss something?
Re: Canna-cooking: You might find this interesting: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...periment/page2
We all had fun, and I discovered that eating the gently-simmered leaves of a plant in flower got me very high.
I agree with you: drying and curing aren't important for your purposes. But decarboxylation is. Do you know if you want to decarb your bud? If you want to get high, decarb first. If you don't want to get high, use raw.
If you're decarbing, I highly recommend this lil machine: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...ylator-machine The less heat used in the process of decarbing cannabis, the more intact all the medicinal chemicals are. I'm all in for precision.
I personally believe that the more holistic the medicine is--i.e., you use as much of the plant as possible--the better. So I make tinctures where I throw everything in the alcohol and let it steep for a good long time. Dark Green Dragon. I like tincture; I haven't ventured into edibles yet, cuz I had a bad experience w/ edibles around a decade ago...
LurkingInTheGrass I'd say I'm more the wicked witch of the east of tinctures and concentrates, rather than the queen....

My 3 to 4 weeks estimate was SWAG (silly wild ass guess), as this is my first grow I have no idea
Looking at general flowering times, I am guessing.
Yes I have been making CannaCaps for some time now so I am well versed on decarbing.
So if drying and curing aren't that important what would be your process?

Cannacaps, you better start reading so that you know what you're doing, what to expect in bud development and when and how to harvest ripe buds. It's very sad when folks put in all the time and money only to come out with a mediocre product cuz they didn't really learn how to do it right. Here are good places to start:
https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-flowering-stage
https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest
https://www.growweedeasy.com/ready-for-harvest-pictures
You should also read the Dry and cure tutorial.
What would be my process for what??
LurkingInTheGrass How about sorceress? Medicine woman? Stoned elder with some wisdom and much silliness?

I have been reading for quite some time.
I will refresh my knowledge with the links you posted.
I know that I want to harvest when my trichomes are mostly Amber (as I want a sedating experience)
What I was asking you about your process, is do you treat drying and curing differently for edibles than for smoking?
You stated that drying and curing aren't that important for my purposes.

Cannacaps4U2 I didn't mean to sound dictatorial about reading in previous post; I wrote that because your buds look like they are just beginning and will probably need for than 3-4 weeks. I didn't know if you knew what to look for towards the end of flowering or not. I would suggest not waiting until mostly amber, as so much of the chemical content will degrade. Too much amber seems to me like an over-ripe banana or an apple that's going mushy. But that's just my take: if you like lots of CBN for sedation, I understand what you're going for.
I definitely like to cure my bud for vaping, as I have found that a well-cured bud packs a stronger and smoother punch. But I have a buddy who likes me to decarb freshly-dried bud for him before he vapes it, so I decarb in my Ardent Nova for him. When you decarb fresh dry herb in the Nova, it comes out nicely browned and smelling fantastic, because the Nova temperature and process preserve all the terpenes.
Curing improves the smoking/vaping experience: it makes the bud smoother. Ed Rosenthal says that curing doesn't transform the potency of the bud, but many others maintain that curing does make the bud more potent, or as Nebula says, people perceive higher potency. So there's no final answer on that one yet.
Curing isn't necessary for edibles because edibles go to the stomach rather than the lungs. I made a tincture yesterday from my present harvest (some buds are dry and in cure jars, other buds are still hanging): I decarbed all the bud that went into the tincture, including some that was still hanging to dry. The decarb process removes excess moisture, so after the wetter bud was decarbed, I just let it sit out for a while to evaporate any remaining moisture (in cool area, in shadows) before I added it to the alcohol. Then I put it in the freezer and let it steep.
