Thanks for the advice and encouragement my dear. I actually read this too late, as i've already harvested this baby. She wasn't too wet at all. Her buds are nicely hanging now, for a chilled out drying. The buds themselves are pretty dry to the touch if i'm honest actually. Is that a good or bad thing? Or neither? =)

I cannot even begin to explain the feelings I am feeling, having made it to see my first harvest. =')
The best part is that this is the youngest of her sisters. I still have 3 more to go over the next month.

GreenArmadillo They should be dry to the touch when you put em in jars. Do you have a hygrometer? The one Nebula recommends is the best I've found, after wasting money trying cheaper ones. http://amzn.to/1S6Wazp
If you put the buds in jars and if the buds feel moist when you open the jar or the RH in jar goes above 70%, take em back out and let em dry some more. Keep em in the jars when the RH is between 60-65%, the cure zone. This is all in Neb's tutorial on curing, which I have followed on my two previous grows with glorious results.

Yes indeed my friends. Thanks.
I ended up really lucky last year and got some real shitty looking brickweed. Seeing as it's practically impossible to find weed in this country I was well stoked. I smoked it, and that $hit blew me away! Found loads of seeds, and planted them. This is what I got.
Pure, landrace sativa from the looks of it. Some Indian Heartland grass, i'm 95% certain.
Either way, i'm a proud daddy. I agree with you guys, some of those bud formations look glorious!

Yes indeed. I've already ordered loooooooads of hygrometers in advance.
I'm still not at the jarring part yet.
Been checking my hanging buds daily, and today (day 4) the smaller stems are almost snapping. Still got some bend in them though. A really tiny popcorn bud came of without string, but the bigger bud had some string when I tried to pull it off.
So maybe another day or two drying before jars? What do you say?
To be honest, the buds have been pretty dry to the touch since I hung em up, or maybe that's me just not feeling the subtle moisture..?

And honestly, Nebulas articles are just the best thing ever. Simple. Informative. Effective.

Thanks my dear! Appreciate the love.

Looks awesome!!
I'm personally thinking of jarring my golden nuggets tomorrow. It'll have been 4 days of hanging.
And so I shall begin the illustrious process of curing.
How are you judging when to shift them over to jars?
I saw someone recommend you squish the buds between your fingers, to hear them make a kind of slight meshy/crunchy sound. But I am NOT about to manhandle my precious buds. Anyway, that guy was saying that if you wait till your stems snap, then you've dried just a bit too much in his opinion. That's why i'ma jar em up tomorrow. My stems are in the middle between bending and snapping.

I've been test jarring for weeks with samples. Mine feel like they are ready but my little ones aren't snapping yet. A few more days maybe. I put one medium size bud in a jar yesterday and it shot up to 80 in about six hours. It was at 60 before it went in. My temperature is 72 and so far my big batch is bouncing between 50 and 60 never more yet. Definitely going to take it slow though. Still a hit or miss thing with me. Newbie and all... I'll be glad when I no longer consider myself a newbie. Maybe after the next harvest....
