OK so I have the skittles strain and it is being picked branch by branch right now and these tops are extra long and denseand after one night hanging I see the middles and the stem going the "wrong" color that you don't want to see. Like that yellowish whitish on the stem and the first female repro spot. How in the world is this coming overnight. Does everybody trim there's all the way up so there is absolutely no large or larger- than -one -node buds right?
please help drying !! dense buds

Where they begin to write it looks like on the first one has a big black rotting seed in it! This is also not skittles. This is a " big bud" free fucking seed! Dammit Man all these things are gonna be the bane of my existence or what? What is the deal with the strain?
The thing is I'm trying out this Curing method that has the instruction as not letting it dry out on the until the stem snaps. I have never had good smelling stuff and I have always let it dry till the stem snaps and I think that has got to be why because I've got killer stuff and it will not smell. But this dude is instructing on how to put it in jars sooner and then burp the jars a whole bunch I'll get the whole thing but shit it's like I've got to stay on it 24 hours a day

it really does come down to the cure the harder you work at it the better it will be i dry trim so when harvesting i cut the larger fan leafs off and hang the rest in 12 inch ish sections then around ten days later when the buds snap of the stem i jar them up not when the main stem snaps
the only way to fight bud rot is airflow and correct humidity even then it happens somtimes
sorry to interrupt my own thread so many times but hey I don't mind I guess but I think when I know, I think I know what it is. I think I'm not letting my plant dry up enough before I cut it. Someone tell me that's going to be at right? Because it's coming from almost like out of nowhere for no reason at all! All my settings are right in the whole time it's been perfect and now this out of nowhere at the very end it has to be that I cut my plant just to soon after my last watering of it.
What do you think about my last reply about watering the plant too soon before cutting it. It seems like it's coming from inside the stem and there's like a Lonewolf seed at the very top of a nice skittles plant. It is skittles I landed on after all but the big bud has been doing it too. It Hass to be my technique and watering
I got the science about what I'm doing from this site it's just one where he says start at 70% when you put it in your jars it should be 70% and then burp it out until about 60% slowly and sometimes I put money in emotionally they are 55 to 45% and he says that's not right so this is what I'm trying man I'm almost risking that bad smell but it is just the first couple branches of my entire three rows so maybe if I can get it right right now I would pay anyone anything but I'm not soliciting. You know what I mean
Like these are the nicest plants I've had after three consecutive times saying the same thing and then having disaster. So I cannot get this wrong. They are still alive all plants are. So I've got a decision to make and I think it is to just put them in the dark and let them dry almost out dead first
