Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL
RVG, your desert environment probably explains it. Typically drying takes something like 4-7 days at about 50% humidity. If you were 3-4 days (or more!) at 11% RH, they probably got too dry to cure.
You can still do a water cure and it will remove the chlorophyl taste, or you could also use it for edibles. If you have enough, I'd recommend taking 1/2 of it (or some portion) and trying the WC. Then, if it works out well, you can do the rest. If not, you can use the whole batch for edibles.
You can also use the AVB ("Already Vaped Bud", sometimes called "ABV" for "Already Been Vaped") for edibles, too. The vape does not extract 100% of the THC, and I use my AVB for making cannaoil. I just filer mine through a regular metal kitchen strainer (thin mesh), but, as XLR8 mentioned, pantyhose, cheesecloth, etc. would work fine. I you could probably use a coffee filter, but it would take the oil quite some time to work its way through, so I'd try for the cheesecloth.
Hello Mr. K! thanks for the advice and encouragement...I'm no dummy, and I've been growing plants and veggies all my life, just never grew cannabis more than a few times and they only got about a foot high..I was so curious to see a plant in person, so I'd throw my seeds out in the dirt, or stick them in the houseplants and forget them, till my wife is yelling my name from across the apt...then I know what she found, little seedlings! Yeah, I didn't use the box when I got the first batch cut, and I live in the high desert...like 11-12% humidity here! Things outside mummify if left out! lol! But seriously, we have NO extra room, only a bathroom I had to use at the time...And I cut the whole plant at once and hung it upside down for like 3 days, and I didn't remove any fans till after the first day or 2 or 3 of drying...I thought that was how I was supposed to go slow....Now I feel like I can't trust my memory...Should i be surprised at that? I'm not......Anyways, I hate to waste all this stuff! Do you think I can still make canna-oil? Or what CAN I do with stuff tats so-so. Like I said, I DID do a smoke report back then, and it does smoke okay, just so very very light, light someone filtered it or something, that's all. I used it in the vape too, and it was a little better of course...thats why I just wanted to get the chlorophyl out, so I don't have that extra taste...But also, what do you do with the herbal material after it's been used in the vape...I keep hearing people swear that we can use it then for canna-products...I don't know WHAT to believe! Everyone's got their own opinion...But I DO trust my friends like you on here...I got that brownie recipe that takes the sugar leafs and I guess I put it into an oven cooking bag, and cook it on low heat for a while, then take it out and let it cool, THEN and ONLY THEN would I be able to open the bag, and I gotta remember what I do next....hmmmmm gotta go get that recipe... I'd rather have canna-oil and butter than just trying to make brownie batches with chewy herb in it...I forgot about those skinny Sativa leaves....what had me feeling that way is that top cola, how it is so spread out, you know the buds, they aren't all long skinny colas like Indicas, Sativas look like they are smaller in length, but have fatter colas on the top or spaced out on their limbs. Do you think I should do a "water cure" on the stuff to remove the smell? Or should I just cook it up in some canna-oil or cana-butter? And do you know about the filter situation? As in whether I can use the paper filter or do I really have to save up 15$ on the 3rd, (if I even GET my check!!!:surrender:
)
And thanks for the link, I will go check that out before I post anything of myself disguised..I am a legal card-holding patient here, and authorized to grow my own, but I still want privacy, you know?
Thanks for your help again...You're the man!

YES USE THAT AVB IN EDIBLES!!!
