My first attempt at drying

[Duncan]

Hi all im new here, i used to be on overgrow before that died but this is my first post here

I come posting because just recently i got my very first fresh bud, believe it or not id only ever bought and had pre dried bud.

 

As ive come to find out, the plant it was grown on was taken as a clone from an indoor Afghan strain of some sort here in perth, and grown outside from a few months ago. the bud was taken off the plant either saturday the 17th or sunday morning the 18th.

 

I need some of the bud for this friday night the 23rd leaving a 5 - 6 day drying period. But do not worry for that will be a small portion and the rest will not be wasted. I will attempt to 'cure' the other buds.

 

Now i don't have heaps, but for the first day i left it in a plastic container with the lid off a few meter away from a fan at night time, not knowing what to do with it. Since then iv strung it up like shown in the picture. Do you think any of the strung up bud will be smokable by Friday?

 

The um coke bottle in the background inst filled with piss either its just some homebrew ginger beer.

 

Thanks in advance

You can take a bud, roll it ina paper towel and place on the dashboard of car or a sunny window sill for quick dry ....

Im happy to report theyre coming along lovely. I tried a tiny bud last night the size of say 2 bb gun pellats.

 

it was thc-full and was nice tasting. . .How am i suposed to know when its dry enough? That burned and seemed fine yet had only been of the plant a few days,

[loylty gets u nothing]

i find wen the stem is crisp

cracks clean wen u snap it

its no biggie at 1st imho

as wen u begin the curing process

usually 2 days after jarring from initial drying

the bud will become moist again..

i find another 2 days max on the screens and they are sweet as

then back to the burping process..

all the best

Well theyre all dry now and sittign safely in a jar with some vinilla bean pods.

 

Dried prety fast with all these 35 degree days.

 

Such a shame it like cut 2/3 of its weight and 1/3 of its size prety much. Crazy, if i didnt realise how much ti was and had my own grow id feel so ripped off when i weighed my grow then dried n weighed it .

 

Il llet you know how this afghani strain tastes with some vinilla bean

trim them shade stem/leaves off helps it dry quicker
