    The THC is about the highest right now. Its genes tend towards you getting couch lock. The longer you wait the heavier the lock. Depends what you like or what you are treating yourself for.

    The quality will have much more to do with your dry and cure at this point.

    hmm the only way ive ever done it is snip them off and lay them on a screen till the stems in the buds make a snap sound but the buds dont crumple apart. and I call it done. make sure its not damn and have a window cracked. is this a bad way to do it ?

    Dont ignore the easiest way to tell if a plant is ready! Once all the pistils turn brown and shrivel up like that you know she is done packing on weight and ready to go. Some people like to chop sooner, but waiting till they all or almost all go brown will ensure the best yields and a medicinal high. She looks great BTW.

    After curing and burping properly, your buds can be stored in a mason jar on a shelf at room temp for a year or more..

    So snip it, put in your drying screen. Turn on fans. When it feels crispy, put it in a sealed mason jar. Check it every few hours. When the bud feels moist, put it back on the drying screen. Depending on the bud size, this can take a few days to a week or more. When it consistently feels the same, dry but not crackly, seal it in the jars and burp it several times a day. If it softens up,put it back on the drying screen. When storing, make sure the jars are in a dark environment. Good luck!

    Here's an easy sure fire way to dry and cure like a champ. Put them on your screen. Have a fan in the room circulating air but not pointed on your buds. You need it to just move air around the room. Nice even dry this way. After 5 days put your nugs in a brown paper bag and close the bag up. Leave them in the bag for a day or 2, just randomly shake it gently every 8 hours to move around the nugs, and then jar them up. Burp the jar every 6-8 hours and test the buds. If they have any unwanted moisture it will feel damp. Then back in the paper back for a day or so. The brown paper bag helps draw the moisture out of the buds and into the thick paper. Once they are dry you just jar em up and keep them in a dark room temp spot. Best cure ever.
