Diggs99 First grow, Lets talk about it!

[Renfro]

Ya agreed

Have a look at pics above. Let me know what you think

I think she's ready

I sure don't see much clear at all. I think anytime from here on is good for harvest. Just depends on what kinda high you like. If you want that real stoney high go for more amber.

Ya today could be her day lol

I am seriously considering using this entire run to make oil. Id prefer it over flower at this point.

Ill save some of the prettiest buds to show off, but the rest i think may go to extraction.

 

[Renfro]

Best to harvest right before the lights come on as the terps and THC levels are a tiny bit higher then.

 

[diggs99]

Tomorrow morning when I wake up.

Best time for me anyway, I'm only person ever awake

Let her have another day in the sun before chop lol

I picture you carrying a tree over each shoulder. HAG weekend, brother North.

Day 61

Atomic is down

She was the smallest of the bunch, more indica leaning

Total wet weight on stems is 370g

So hopefully a 2 oz plant

 

[Gollyboy]

Ya , i pruned all 4 of them pretty hard at week 3 of flower, just after i felt the stretch was over.

Ok sound did you do any defoliation before the flip or only after, I'm going to flip the day after 2moz they'll have 24hrs dark then on 12/12

 

[diggs99]

Yes I pruned them hard a week before flip then again when stretch was just about finished

 

[Gollyboy]

Ok cheers m8 I'll have a light session tonight then again in 2-3 weeks. I uploaded a pic somewhere I just don't know where

 

[diggs99]

Fp2 is drying too fast

It's so dry in my basement, even in a Rubbermaid container I can't keep rh above 45%

Only been 5 days and already the buds feel very dry/crispy . Seems too fast

Still smelling grassy, sweet grassy but grassy


Atomic is in a box and is holding at 45% aswell.

Only other option is placing humidifiers in with them. Not sure how good idea that would be

@Renfro @Thundercat

@ anyone who wants to reply and help lol

5 days is fine. 5-7 is good. Too much more and you have to worry about mildew or rot. When you jar them they will moisten back up from the "deep" moisture that still has to come out. They are only dry on the outside unless there is zero density.

Buds still feen dense inside the crispyness , looks like a got some trimming to do.

This all looks so easy when someone else is doing it on video lol


Making oil out of this plant anyway, so maybe the dry trim isnt required?

 

[H.A.F.]

Oh, and sweet and grassy is fine and to be expected. Right now the predominant thing going on is your veg-cells giving up water. That is the aroma you'll get. When you jar it, it will still have that until it is completely dry (about a week or so more) Then during the "cure" it builds those other aromas.

My big skunk harvest (left-pic) was chopped in oct. It still only has a light smell in the jar, but once it's ground up it blows up.

Thats good to know, i was a little concerned

Looks like a 3 oz plant now, maybe 4 if lucky

Still needs to dry, and possibly get a little cure in to get rid of the veg-taste and smell. My guess would be don't do anything different. Better weed-better product.

Once it is in the jar, don't be scared to play with it. I dump it out and run my fingers through it like Scrooge McDuck. no gloves either.
When you get it dry, it will still stick together in "bud-balls" for a week or so when you dump it out. Fluffing it makes sure mas surface area to dry, and moisture escapes while you are actually playing with it.

Beware any bleach smell.

Ya thats probably a good guess.

I know thundercat mentioned it can be frozen fresh off harvest and be used fine, but once its drying, just aswell to let it finish properly. at the very least ill gain some badly needed expierence in the drying and curing. By the time the last 2 are ready to harvest i might know a little more than i do now lol

For bubble hash, you toss the trim right in the freezer. It's supposed to make the trichomes break and fall off easier. So that makes sense. I just don't know. Try it both ways. You have plenty.
