Balls to the Wall grow, Riddleme Gets Serious

[riddleme]

where I got confused was people talking about slowing down the drying process and 4 days from chop to done is definitly not slowing down

edit: or are you saying that more than 4 days in the chamber would do something further for the buds riddle is curing?

I am trying to slow down the process on this current run, it may take me a couple of runthrus to get it dialed in we'll see?

Skeptical is good, but I am not blowing a fan on them and the bud in the chamber is way better than hung dry bud (I have samples of both, same strain from same garden) It is not about drying them, it is about fermenting them,,,,there is a huge difference

How exactly is it fermenting? I've read there are no fermentable sugars in cannabis.

what if... slowing the process improves the product enough to make a noticable difference... that's great. However...
What if Slowing down the process ruins it? or you end up with the equivelent of snicklefitz? or Schwag if you prefer, lol
either way, these are experiments. Each one that Riddle is doing risks that chance of ruining a lot of potentially good smoke. It's not mine. I'm not going to be out anything. I was skeptical at first but I've read so many of Riddles's threads that I have come to expect an honest report whether the experiment worked or bombed.
If four days produces smoke the same quality as some that was dried & cured for a total of 6 to 8 weeks; that is a huge accomplishment! Not to mention a potentially very valuable discovery. How many harvests could you move through a chamber like that? even at seven days a pop. You could be running, theoretically, a harvest a week. How many pounds would that be at the end of 8weeks just in the small chamber that Riddle made.
ok, enough insane rambling.

Is a humidor for cigars similar (I know your keeping your chamber a secret for your book, I am only looking for items which maybe similar to build off of) to your fermenting chamber? You've provided such little info I don't want to read incorrect information and ruin my harvest.

my ditty on the research is on page 40 & 41 of my calling all noob growers thread, it is a 4 part ditty and a lot of reading, it is everything I read in order to figure it out and it does ferment them, trust me that is quite obvious

Problem is it goes against everything that is known (or believed to be known) and that creates skepticism, which I have always invited

a humidor is similar, I built the chamber based off the Hovabator that folks were using to ferment tobacco, which is discussed in my ditty

experimenting always carries a risk, but only way to learn and improve things

today is the end of week 4 of flower, begining of week 5 and here are the pics, they are coming along nicely

Enjoy

So were you able to slow the process in the fermentation box or is it still cranking it out fast?

It has slowed a minor bit, partly due to having more in it, the closeups are the 2 agent orange buds that were chopped 3 weeks early, they are ripening nicely

I started drowning a plant on Sunday, and it looks like it's living on fan leaves as expected. I was wondering what you think of the way your Fermentation Chamber will work after a week of drowning? I assume it goes even faster but IDK. The plant drowning reeks BTW.

Plants look great also

I will be drowning mine and then in the chamber so we will see once they are done at this point I have no idea what to expect as it just keeps going beyond my wildest expectations

Somebody once said that I knew what I was doing

 

[gumball]

Care to guesstimate on your yield?

I say close to a lb, from what I see. Your curing process may increase dry weight over normal harvests.

 

[rastadred22]

lol! i guess that persons right! noffin but excellence comin outa that house!

They all can doubt and hate but as the saying goes, "the proof is in the picture".

They look freaking amazing!

You know I say it all the time, a good grow is the sum of all parts, dialing in all elements of your garden is what gives great results and in my threads I have explained each element and how I dial them,,,,I know a lot of reading but hey those that read it are growing great buds

I have been here since the beginning and have read and reread all your threads, journals, and ditties and I know I would not be growing what I am today, had I not read it. The information you provide is like a self paced course. As a persons skills develop, they are able to implement different aspects of advanced information. I myself have compiled the information so that it works for my style of growing. As my skill, time and knowledge increase I add more things to my approach to dial it in as you say.

Always a pleasure reading your info and watching your grow.

Peace
