I would say about 3 weeks give or take. I do see some cloudy trichs and amber but it’s on the sugar leafs wich don’t count. The pistols are still white also. Mighty fine lookin bunch.

Pretty sure how I dry and cure is something I learned here. Basically, we’ll remove her from the then and let her sit in the dark for a day, then chop, wet trim to cola size, hang or air dry the colas until the cola branches fold/break when bending, vice just bending. We try to keep the drying room at about 50/55%rh. Once they are ready we break the colas down to quarter and nickle sized buds and jar them, burping the 1/2 gallon wooden lid Ball jars as often as necessary to get in-jar RH to maintain around 63%. The resulting trim goes into the freezer in baggies for a few weeks. I do a dry-ice shake of the trim through a 73 micron bag and is used to press into concentrates or roll a bud in for a special treat.
I don’t think the ILGM forum version of drying and curing includes and references to sneaking samples all along the way, but I’ve found it unavoidable.

I’ve not done the dry ice method before. I use a bubble washer. Drying and curing is about the same for me. I did use jars and bodeva packs, now I am presently using a cure bag. I also try to trim as much as I can then chop and hang it’s so much easier. I use a bowl trimmer most of the time time. Trimming jail isn’t fun. Congratulations on your grow
