phatbeats Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 A mate suggested he liked to dry the whole plant as one, before chopping it down for smaller buds. I was wondering, is this a good idea, I heard ages ago this allows the THC to distribute through the plant, is that correct? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demistify Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I let them dry out whole for a while in the shade. maybe 24 hrs ... depends on the weather ... you'll have to be the judge of that. then I begin taking off the branches and cleaning, putting the buds on a rack for final drying. I try to get this done before the whole plant dries out completely so that handling doesn't knock off bits of bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I can;t any outside atm, but what about the thc moving through the plant, any truth in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashed1 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) hay there the its great to dry the plant upsidedown the slower it drys without light the better , if you cut the colas off seperat it will dry lil quicker , an i think thats bs about thc moveing through the plant , the thc as far as i know is in all them tricks outside the plant ?? im pritty shore the leaves n buds projuce the thc not the stuff that flows through the stemsthats what i think all you get outa smokeing stems is a sore throat Edited April 13, 2011 by smashed1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrat Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Each to their own but I like to trim as soon as the plant is pulled. I just find it easier to trim when the leaves are fresh and poking straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hash Nibbler Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I agree PPG and Bigrat, nothing worse than trying to trim limp sticky leaves. Fresher th better, snip snip done. Peace. Gh72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoganBonga Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I basically pull it, cut the branches off and hung them upside down in the cupboard for two weeks. When the weather was warm I'd open the cupboard doors for about half and hour and I got one of those mini fans desk fans to blow air on them. After two weeks cut trims and chucked straight into big glass jar and one of these great air-sealed Decor lunch boxes.
