The curing process begins after about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks, depending on the soil texture and watering schedule for the last few weeks of flowering. This grow took about 6 days to get 3 quarters of the way dry; at this point it would be best to put it in a sealed container, preferably glass, and keep it in there over the next 2 to 3 weeks. I took the harvest from the drying box and put it into a jar I purchased at the world market; I Didn’t want to squeeze my harvest into a small jar, so I got a really big one. The harvest weighed out on 10/11/09 to 50 grams, which is just under two ounces. The curing stage is about to begin, your going to see the overall color begin to lighten. The smell, which unfortunately you will not be able to experience, is going to become more of a pungent odor. As of right now, the smell possesses a woodsy smell with hints of citrus, which, the citrus odor, will increase over the next few weeks.

I’ve been out of town for the past week but a friend has kindly been watering her every other day, and she remains to be healthy and strong like the day I left. The plant has now reached the 17th node and is starting to flower; pistils are starting to protrude from the “armpits” of the plant. This is naturally occuring due to the photoperiod. Usually cannabis plants flower in northern california around July or august, however the OG PURPLE KUSH seems to be flowering unusually early. When magnetized you can see the trichomes starting to build up; eventually they will sprout up and form a have cylinder shape at the top similar to that of a mushroom. These trichomes will be the tool to read the maturity of the plant; the not only determines the maturity, but also the effect of the strain.
