It's time to harvest or thereabouts

The temps aren't great for drying, with the dehumidifier running constantly through the night it's reached 26c in the tent.

It's around 23c in the room the outside humidity is fluctuating 63/75%.

So i was thinking about dry trimming as much as dislike it even more than wet trimming but in the circumstances what do you do?

Yeah sounds like a better idea to slow it down so it dont dry too fast mate i hate doing much dry trimming myself but needs must at times in a warm summer it can help preserve the taste i fucking hate when shit quick dries it just locks in that nasty green chlorophyll taste i find or just goes bland af anyways as they say best safe than sorry bro

My purple punch fast buds i got 11 oz

Pretty good for a auto mate no bad

I would go dry trim also and hang the whole plant if poss should slow drying down as above nothing worse than fast dried flowers …

Only thing worse is microwaved early buds as a tester did it once to try many many moons ago never ever again or if they use and over do that horrible canna flush shit its like a minty chemically taste it just ruins crops imo tis the worst product ever for cannabis

 

[Leeski]

Have never experienced that canna flush stuff sounds disgusting. I think drying flowers properly is something that gets dismissed fair bit peeps spend wks months tending and Caring for there plants then bosh quick 4-5day dry straight into a jar
Can’t remember if it was last winter or winter before harvest took 3wks to dry was soooo nice smooth as silk …

I've 2nd net that stays at the back of the tent (you might see it in some photos) i leave it hanging on a couple of zip ties for easy adjustment and for convenience.

I've pulled it out and fixed it up high my plan is just cut from underneath the net and hang them by the crooks.

I really don't like trimming especially so dry trimming but not having to trim it all at once is a bonus, normally i need to trim everything before i can dry it, hmm it might not be so bad after all?

There's pros and cons that i didn't consider.

Hey bro,
It's glukies, girl scout cookies x gorilla Glue.

It's got a biscuit like smell to it presumably from the cookies idk I've never grown gsc or gorilla glue for that matter but there's also a minty terp in there?

I cut a little bottom bud about 10 days ago dried and smoked it that's all I've smoked maybe when I have a proper smoke of it I'll have a different opinion but atm... Meh!

The glukie pie on the other hand is top shelf it's got that old skool cat piss terp only sweeter again i've only smoked a lower larfy bud i can't freaking wait to get a prime bud rolled up

I’ve been dry trimming for the last few years and I really do prefer it. I hang the whole thing upside down for as long as it will go, last run it went 20 days, then buck it all down into manageable chunks and throw it in the trim bag dry trimming device.

I know what you mean tho it’s a pain doing a dry trim by hand. Especially if you have allergies “atchoo!”

 

[Blue brother]

Well I’ve been away for a couple months, I had some health issues and the grow went to a halt as I just done bare minimum to keep them alive for a while. But things are back on the up!

Afternoon all, some unfortunate news received this message half hour ago..

Alright buddy it’s

JONDAMON from riu.

Could you do me a favour and let the U.K. gang know I’ve been banned from RIU.

I don’t have any idea why other than “rules violations” probably from me telling people to put up or shut up when it comes to showing what they are preaching etc.

Could you let them know I’m not gonna be back as RIU have told me bans are not revoked.

Gutted!

 

[Star Dog]

That's a sad loss to the overall community I'm sorry to hear that.

So... i got it harvest today, the net above the canopy to hang them works out great, I've never had them so well spaced

After checking out the humidity i decided I'd take the fan leafs off.

It's 23-24c in the tent and I've the dehumidifier coming on around 74-75% bringing it back down to 66-67%

The extraction fan is only ticking over ultra slow and continuous, I've a oscillating fans on the floor and one above the buds just enough to keep air on the move.
