I gotta do this. Beef making my own QWET extraction tinctures and oils but the weed at the dispensary has zero visible trichones even in the top shelf stuff.
I HIGHLY suspect they are washing most of what’s available at the dispensary before selling it to make concentrates. Some of the lower tier weed has even already been decarboxylated you can tell by that signature crumbly feeling. That makes no sense when selling by weight unless you’re extracting from it first.
This lovely pic is inspiring you made
I’ve never done this, but I’m curious. You collect the buds and you simply let them dry? What’s the process?
The idea is to get a slow controlled cure and not a quick dry.
I’m in an arid climate and I generally cut individual branches, let those dry, then harvest the buds, but some of my friends just hang the entire plant up to dry. If you’re in a humid climate then you might look at cutting it down to individual buds.
Lots of good info at https://www.growweedeasy.com/drying-curing and elsewhere :)
Oh cool! Thanks for the info :)
@leanfemurs nailed it. Link has most covered too.
I’m actually looking at doing a Lotus Cure next grow, it’s where you dry/cure with a fridge instead of hanging it, but it requires a wet trim as well.
But I cut it into manageable sections, and trim the fan leafs off and hang to dry. Very dry here, so I leave as much plant material as possible, and even a humidifier to keep the rh up.
When it’s dry, I cut it apart more and put it in grove bags.
I thought this was some kind of undersea plant at first
Beautiful!
