wheres my spanking whip ? wheres my spanking whip damn it!!!



ok ASG, here you go :

1) dont dry em too fast! No fans, heaters, ovens, etc. Unless you want to ruin your herb (harsh taste)

2) temps should be around 18-20C optimally and RH 30%

3) darkness is needed in the room otherwise you loose THC

personally i trim the plant and manicure the buds while the plant is still in the pot. Then i chop, shake it a little bit so tiny pieces of leaf fall off, then i hang the whole plant for a coupla weeks in a dark, dry, cool place.

It will take at least 2-3 weeks. If u cut the branches and hang each bud individually, it will dry quicker. up to u.

When the stems "snap" (when u break a bud with your fingers) then the are ready to be jared. For another 2-3 weeks "burp" the jars regularly and every day. Move the buds in there and always check for mold (just in case).

In a month you should have some nicely cured buds. In 4-5 months you ll have some bad ass buds.


i think you ll really enjoy your buds

theres no bud like your homegrown
