It is tough to know when to hit the jars, especially using just hippy-magic, which I never used to have particularly much of. That whole 'stem-snapping' thing is a little too 'pat', it just means it's anywhere from dryish to way too try and terps have left the building, never to return. That, or, the just that stem location dry, which happens. I think all that potential humming and hawing is why many turn to the 'whole plant, long-term, dry-partial cure' scenario like Dani's pal does. Experience breeds patience, I'm told
. Me, I bought ten of those wee hygros w/ watch batteries in 'm, because I'm with you, I only know, when I know. If I've rushed the jars, least I'll know.

@danishoes21 buddy, that Durban looks fantastic, no shit. I like a lovingly trimmed shag m'self also. Yeah, rock hard nugs are 'cool', but not if its cuz they've been bouncing around in a machine no end. No doubt that trim is in part where dispensary pre-rolls come from (the 'good' part), that and the floor sweepings. Remind's me, my daughter was just in New York City on a quick lark for the MoMA and the cheapest disp. joint they could find in Manhattan was 20$ USD, and it was bunk. I guess with no cross-state commerce that's to be expected.
I had (another) fast and loud trip to emerg but I'm home, fine, no really, and plants in SIPs were fine. My little sativas almost bought the farm, however, I decided to try and bring them back, not esp. hopeful, but BAM! they're being troopers, it's def. happening. Its just how we roll 'round these parts, am I right?
