ok, its my first time through and i had bought a couple mason jars for my finished product after they hang in my closet. then today i realized i have a cola that looks like a small baby and it wont be fitting in any jar ive ever seen. so what do i do about that?also- how long do you hang the bud after you cut it? is it a set amount of time or until the bud is a certain consistancy? ive set out a couple "samples" from low on the plant but they dry out in a day or 2. any help would be appreciated. i guess if im gonna have a problem, this is a good one to have.

lol topshelf just cut up the cola lol ..i no i no it looks amazing and bigger the
better thing is going on in ya head but dude ...your gona smoke it /sell it .

1)harvest and manicure it straight away ( cut all leaf matter off with scissors
and dry the leaves in a card board box for the production of some hash later
on ).

2)hang bud for like 2/3 days in the darkness ( light destroys THC ) .

3)then put them in a cardboard box for a couple of days with the lid flapping
over but not closed tight !..or if you have sink/satin screens they work a treat
...you can make some with mosqito netting (screw some wood together like a
picture frame end to end then get some fine satin or really fine sink or
mosquitto netting from a material shop ...the material: if you hold it up to
your mouth and breath threw it ,it will not stop any wind/breath passing
threw it ... and you can see stuff threw it tooo ...really fine,then staple the
material tightly over the frame so its got some bounce if you drop a marble
on it .)thease screen can also be used for making hash so there doublely
useful .



4)when they are dry enough to snap a stem, but not snap in half they are
ready for curing .

5) cut buds into smaller (easy to put in jars lmao) sizes and either use glass
jars or plastic bin liners(glass jars are well known for curing but i use bin
liners coz of the vast size of my harvests 0.5-2kg)

open the jars every couple of days and keep moving the buds around trying
not to rub them together and store them on a dark place ( darkness is a must
for and type of drying or curing as light destroys THC )

if you cure in bin liners just flap the top over and store in a cupboard
everyday turn the bud over in your hands .(like playing with sand or flour )

then to properly cure them wrap them up into balls of like 20/50 grams and
wrap in kitchen film,cling film,sandwich wrap....oz ballz work well (28g) and
store them in a drak place ...for a week or 2 .dont bother to way up the oz
ballz as they will loose weight as they cure and dry some more they will really
sink after a couple of weeks and they are now ready to smoke /sell..
The longer to cure the better the product 2 weeks is ok but 2 months is
better !!! depends how desperate you are : )
hope this helps....
laterz

it cures them really fast : ), you know the mass produced weed you buy thats always compressed that coz it was from a metric ton lol,, that stuff compresses through sheer weight alone and that how they cure it .. in big bails of weed .. compress it in the dark and the bud cures fast! in 2/3 weeks its like its been cured for 2 months 8 )
