Thanks, Doc.
It wasn't a total disaster. The last of them are being jarred tonight. All in all, a total of 8 were found with mold. 2 really bad, 2 moderately bad, and 4 were that were pretty minor. I was able to collect usable and clean sample from 7 of the 8 so the review process will continue as planned. I've already been making modifications to the room, which I will share soon.

That’s good to hear!

The 1st sample is ready to share. She's been in jars for a little less than 3 weeks following a nice and slow 14 day dry.

Sample 2-1

Looks proper, funk level?

Moderate, so far. Nose is still developing. Some sweetness is definitely present but not detecting any gas.

I like the way it looks with the purple shading. The resin is good, not as thick looking as the last but very nice yet! Drool!

There will be some much nicer purple samples coming. I'm rooting for this one to review poorly. I hate the way it looks even though it is interesting.

Sample 2-8

There are quite a few that look similar to this. Many of the purples are somewhat disappointing. But I have to keep reminding myself...I'm not looking for instagram weed. I'm searching for super high quality and I have to place much less emphasis on appearance than I usually do.

Mixed my 1st ever organic soil. Approx 40% sphagnum peat moss, 40% course perlite and 20% worm castings. To that, I added Craft Blend amendments from Build a Soil and Mycorrhizae via Rootwise Mycrobe from Build a Soil as well as Great White which I had been using from my previous grow.

It's sitting under a 1000 Watt Metal Halide Blue where it will cook down for a few weeks.

Chapter 10: The Selection
Day 102 (12/12 from seed)

The 1st 5 plants were harvested last Saturday, 9 days ago. The full plant hang dry is going perfectly. I increased the RH a bit and I have them swinging between 61F/63% and 63F/60%. Over the last few days I removed the largest fan leaves. They will remain in this environment for 3 more days and then I'll move to step 2. More on that when it begins.

No other plants have been harvested since the 1st 5. Many of the remaining plants are close, but not quite there. A significant percentage of the plants are foxtailing which is not what I want. That said, this review cycle is more about the quality of effect and the terp profile and less about appearance.

Only 1 plant to showcase tonight. I was going to do 5 but then ended up taking 30 pics of this one plant. This is one of my favorites. It's not the biggest. It's not the fattest. It's not the most resinous. But it's close to perfection, from a growers vantage point.

I present sample 2-16.

I know this is an older post but I saw your humidity during your dry time... I keep my humidity and temps in the 60’s also. It truly helps the terps and smoothness of the smoke

Agreed. I've tried about every method there is and low 'n slow is hands down the best way to go.

I hate the word “drying “ it is so misleading
