Need to do some reading later about dry- curing methods.
Nugs do taste good so is the effect
, but smokes still abit harsh.
Saw in video it can take up months before buds get smooth at their best.
In later grow can do that maybe, not now
Next cut let them dry 8 days in box, than further in jars( tomorrow will get those)

From my understanding your buds should be dried in a dark environment with a non direct airflow, meaning don't place a fan directly on them. You are waiting until branches snap instead of bend or fold. From this point you can finish curing them and place them in a jar with the top off in a dark area for a couple of hours. After being placed in a jar you are supposed to open them up once or twice a day for a couple of hours to allow fresh air in, and to release the built up gases. The recommended time for this to continue until long term storage is possible varies from a couple of weeks to about a month or longer.
Example:
Weeks 1-2 open jar at say 8am until 10am open again at 3pm to 5pm and again from 8 to 10
Weeks 2-4 open jar at 8am until 10am and again at 5 to 7
Weeks 5- and on open say once a week to once every two weeks to once every month.
Its good to note that once the branches are breakable instead of foldable the lades are able to be smoked. The majority of psychoactive properties (thc conversion) take's place during the drying process with the floral and taste being affected in both drying and curing.
As far as during the chop you can decide to harvest the whole plant or branch by branch, all fan leaves should be removed. If you choose to extract thc from the sugar leaves or decided to make some shake that you can smoke later, you should set these aside from the discard plant material like the fan leaves. If you can remove the majority of the leaves as close to the stem as possible this would be best maybe with a razor blade. The reason is the stem of the fan leaf tends to shrivel and can cause something such as mold.
Make sure when drying that your buds do not touch each other again to prevent an area of excess moisture in a dark environment, which will lead to mold. They recommend that you place your buds in something like a mason jar with an air tight lid, as plastics are believed to impact taste negatively. Buds even after jarring should be kept in a dark environment as light degrades thc.
Most importantly before anything your ladies should undergo a good flush for at least a week unless you are using a clearing agent. I hope this helps, I'm sure you can google some authors and grow bibles. Here are 2 suggestions, George Cervantes and Ed Rosenthal.
I hope this helps.

Microscope is not what expected, will try again later, maybe something to do with settings, images aren't sharp.
example
---------------
Did some work with repositioning tops for amnesia strawberry(left) get more space-light, she's gonna deliver the most THC and keeps growing, critical(middle front) positioned tops more concentrated and grapefruit(back) binded small tops better together.
Bended 2 colas from strawberry, planning to do further in smal steps(fragile), make more canopy (betterlight)for lower nugs that way.
Critical and grapefruit are ready in couple days,harvest part left side, so can train strawberry further and bend 3rd big cola.

Not happy with microscope.
Adjusted some settings and calibrated but image not clear, sharp enough.
Better ordered the Carson zOrb.

Pineapple sativa, just measured, 90cm high from pot. (90-95cm is max can go)
Without training,bending could have been 1.5m and not fit in closet
Give one last time nutes and than 1-2 weeks flush.
She become very big and take almoast same space 2 other plants.

Thanks, you do well with your grow also.
The nugs from first cut are beginning to smoke alot smoother, the harsh is gone, taste changed also, effect lasts longer.
Several days in weckpot makes already difference. Buds still little bit sticky inside.
Smoking critical+ joint and its grade A
More frosty shots

Grapefruit and critical+ should be harvested already by now(1week past window), think led grow takes abit longer than HPS,1-2 more weeks.
Looking at white pistols grapefruit, some tops still slightly growing,while many trichs are getting cloudy.
With critical bit less white hairs.
Find it difficult,decide when look trichs , microscope is not that good,and other small device either.
When determine on this pics should say 5-6 for G and 2-3 more days for C
