I actually have a large support group assisting in my first grow, which included, a 6 year indoor grower, a 2 year outdoor grower, 3 other 12-15 year indoor and outdoor growers and of course this forum (Special thanks to Shreder and Icecalibur). This site was another considered opinion as I am big on double, double, double checking everything that is important to me.
They all turned out to also be very knowledgeable about growing as they all did offer the same advice. Literally, the exact same advice.
What I did was to wait the week and then I added 3 days, so 10 days longer.
I did vary the harvest by taking the top half first and getting them drying first. After 7 days I used a moisture meter and started curing at 12%. I the cut and trimmed the lower branches which are still drying and soon to jarred up. (today or tomorrow).
I'm using a VAC 800 Foodsaver with the wide mouth jar attachment to cure and save the weed both short and long term. (32oz)
I visually and microscope examined the upper and lower halves there was a real difference. The lower half looked more like the upper half a week earlier. What the hell, why not wait. Plus, if I screwed up anything with the upper half drying it gave me a second chance to save the lower half..LOL
I also like the idea of having 2 different types of pot by letting the bottom half get more amber. (20%)
I had already taken a nice big nugg (from a lower branch inside close to the stalk) prior to cutting anything a just left it out on my kitchen counter to dry fast and after putting the lower half into the dry room (my upper floor bath room..LOL) I smoked some of the nug.
I got me some fine shit here boys..!
I'm sure the outer buds will be the cats meow.
I will also pony up and send this site some cash, as well as, make here my new weed home...Happy trails
