1st Grow - Nirvana Bubblicious & 2 Nirvana Mixed Seeds

If you can build a little dry box with a pc fan to extract the air slowly like maybe once every ten minutes and throw a hydrometer in there using a fan not pointed directly at the buds. You can use a tray of water to raise humidity a bit if needed. But I've found that if you can keep your dry at a steady 70 degrees and the humidity at the range of 50 to 55% I never get the hay smell just bud and it slowly fades more and more to almost no smell. I like there to be a soft crunch around 7 days this way and not a snap and then into the curing jars where the smell comes back stronger then ever. It works every time for me and speeds up the curing process. I take the temp down to 68 after the first 3 days once the are crispy on the outer bud. And let them go another five days usually for a total of a week dry time till soft crunch. I de stem and open the jars for 10 to 15 minutes and fan them with the lid every 4 to 6 hours for the first 3 days then twice a day for 5 days then twice a week for the second weeks and they are usually up to snuff. But for best results for two more weeks I only open once a week before I seal Em up for long term storage. I'm thinking of using some of the small boveda 62 packs for storage up to a year with the jars sealed with canning wax. This is what always works for me to preserve smell and pliability but dry enough for a joint. I have a lil DIY carbon filter on my box but not required if you want to take a look at my journal.
 
I would let time dry, the slower and softer it is, the better!! Ive had some budes cure for 2 or 3 years, completly sealed out of the light, and honestly the smell is so strong its hard to beleive its been there for so long. First weed I would open them one or twice a day for 5 minutes, next 3 weeks once a day or once every 2, and after the first month, like once a week, and last, the rest of the time like once every 2 weeks up to once a month.
Just another perspective on drying, im sure you will try it as you think will be best for those dank nugs.

Boblove, you can have a smoke of that, it wont be as nearly as good as the end product, but it wont hurt to give it a try!
Have you weighted it? Hope its more then you thought :)

Hey sinse I did indeed try it today and it didn't smell very much like dank smokable bud but it burned very well and taste great ! Also left me and a few friends nice a giggly up high but the. When I smoked with my bf in bed I felt like I couldn't move ! So far I'm loving it ! Can't wait for properly dried properly cured bub goodness :)

I'm loving all the options ! I'm definitely gonna try a little of everything ! Idk how long I can bare to dry these buds from my first cola tho cuz I'm so excited to smoke it and have my friends taste it although I didn't tell them I grew it :)

Even though the bud is not dried or cured properly the smoke was so smooth and tasty I'm actually surprised ..
 
Nothing better than smoking your own home grown:) Harvest time is what its all been about, and its kind of bitter sweet, but its quickly forgotten when you start the next run. Wish I was one of your friends so I could have a sample:)
 
Yes it is bitter sweet :) :( but I'm already loving it as I'm almost done smoking my cola I cut a few days ago lol ! However I have 2 lovely clones in dwc flowering as we speak so they will ease my broken heart while I smoke my 1st grow !!! And yes my friends are pretty lucky cuz they get to smoke my lovely home grown without even knowing its homegrown hehe they are already commenting about the lovely taste and smell of the bub smoke even though it wasn't properly dried or cured !!!
 
Hey guys here are my harvest pics ... Hope u like them when they r dried I will post weight !
