As to the time for drying and curing... hard to say with those big colas. I don't much like the thought of leaving the really big colas on the stock. I think it would be much harder to control the drying in that situation.
The curing I will take day by day. I will use jars and burp them till I feel it is right.
About 20 years ago I grew indoors in soil. A much different setup than now. And of course it was all illegal back then.
This is the first time in 20 years and the first time ever trying hydro. I am a big fan of hydro now though.

Thanks The70's.
I didn't realize how much I missed growing till I picked it back up in late fall. It is also a lot more fun when you don't have to worry about a knock on the door, or the front door getting kicked in. Been there, done that, no fun.
It's all fun now here in Canada.
Yes, thanks There are a few things I can try to help them rippen up.

Best of luck, should work out great for you. I will be starting flush in a couple days or so. See how that goes.

Interesting thought you guys, about hanging or breaking big colas. I've always hung the big ones and trayed up the smaller nugs. I put them on a rack in the garage and put a 14" oscillating fan in front of the rack on low about 8 feet away and both big and small are ready to jar about 6-7 days later. @snowbound you need to be the guinea pig, hang one and break one and see if theres a difference.

Yeah I can do that.
Had to add 20 liters of water late last night. Ph holding @ 5.7, water temp @ 65' and EC @ 1.3
Couple more days and I will start flushing.
Should be good timing. I will use the tent for the drying. When that is about done the seedlings should be close to ready for the big lights.

Day 58 flowering
Ph is @ 5.7, EC @ 1.3, water temp @ 65'
Just gonna let it ride for today. With just a couple days till flush really just trying to minimize my efforts and not get in the way of the plants. Let them do their thing again today.

Work of Art !8 Week mark flowering today...
Ph stable @ 5.7, EC is at 1.4, up one tick over two days, water temp this morning is @ 64'. Reservoir is down maybe 10 - 15 liters.
With everything being in the range of where it should be for this stage ( I have a water heater inbound, I don't like low 60's ) I think the best thing I can do this morning is nothing. Gonna stand pat for the day and ride it out.
Another 3 -4 days and I will be flushing the plants. Once again i shall take my cues from @Scrogdawg. I will use ph'ed water for a couple days with Florakleen and see what the ppm is telling me.
While the BC BB did not get near as big as a couple of the WW's it has really jumped the last couple of weeks. And it has a tremendous amount of trichomes, even more than the WW.
My drying stand showed up from Amazon today so all set to go. Not sure if i will hang the branches or not. Never did many years ago when I grew so that will be a last min. decision.
The last pic is the BC BB.
Under the dome, there always has to be one not like the others, lol. I will go sideways for a few hours and then go for the light.
Like that drying rack with all those nugs !Interesting thought you guys, about hanging or breaking big colas. I've always hung the big ones and trayed up the smaller nugs. I put them on a rack in the garage and put a 14" oscillating fan in front of the rack on low about 8 feet away and both big and small are ready to jar about 6-7 days later. @snowbound you need to be the guinea pig, hang one and break one and see if theres a difference.

It has a dial on top. Temp range is from 65' to 95'.
I just found it on the amazon , that would be better on my cloner/ seedlings. Lesson for the day , put it in the cart
