Hey man how is your flav doing? Is it starting to chunk? Everything looks great man especially that JTR.
She is gaining weight, and the nugs are becoming more and more solid, she seems like she is super close. I haven't checked the trics yet, but based on general appearance, I would say a week left on that lady. I will probably check the trics tomorrow for fun and maybe shoot some macro shots if my camera is feeling up to it, lol.
Hey, thanks for the kinds words brother. Good seeing you stop by.
hey M1damber. ur stuff is super frosty. very nice thread.
i liked the dry shots alot. im coming up on a harvest. could you
go over ur dry process real quick? if u got a perpetual im
sure u are harvesting/drying all the time. i do it once a yr so i get fuzzy lol
do you just dry for 7-10 days and then mason jar for 2-3 weeks burping for each/humidity each day?
or you throw something extra in there? lol
P.s i know i can read in the curing/harvesting page. and i have done so extensively. i work from home.
but like i said as u are im sure drying all the time. different opinions will help me perfect my own.
keep it green.
Thanks a million man! Should have some dry shots within a few weeks here. (Sour cream and The Flav harvests in about 2 weeks)
As far as drying and curing goes...
When the plants reach the amount of amber I would like to see I put the plant into 48 hrs darkness, then pop in some Big Labowski or something similar for GOOD TIMES! (I am weird and LOOOVVVE trimming)
After each branch is nicely trimmed, I place them on three lines that go through a cardboard box with 2/4 sides cut out.
I put that box in a pitch black room with good ventilation, but no with no fans hitting any buds directly.
When the buds are crispy, but still have some give to them, and when the stems are between flimsy and super brittle, (breaks, but not snaps if that makes sense) I jar them up.
For the first three to four days I open each jar 4-5 times a day and keep the jars open for a good half hour to fourty five minutes. If they are feeling super wet or damp, I will lay them out on some newspaper in the dark again, with ventilation, until the buds have lost some humidity. (They are crispy again, but still have some give to them) Then jar them up again.
After the end of the first week, you usually just open the jars once or twice a day and only for like ten - fifteen minutes. You will notice that over the next few weeks your buds will slowly bud surely lose moisture.
This is your goal, to slowly, but surely, bring the moisture level down to what you would like to see/feel/smoke in a bud. Think of it as an airplane landing. Each day the buds release moisture from within the center of the bud and when you open it up you lose a little bit more each day. You CAN drop a hygrometer in there and measure it in % for an even more accurate way of slowly lowering that number. Then over time, you will just sorta "know".
After your buds are just right...after like two months of curing, all you will need to do is store your jars of cured meds in a dark area.
IMO - Also, sorry for the wall of text.
Yeah man, This is my third or fourth time running this same cut. I love her man. She puts on the trichomes first, then the weight later and never seems to disappoint. Gives you that race-y, sativa, smile-to-my-ears high that I absolutely adore. Get's you behind the eyeballs. LOL.
Tasty. LOL!
