Total? I assume if you're runt didn't act up it would've been better but again a successful harvest is all that really matters. Looking forward to how she smells/smokes/feels XD im only 18 days into Ripleys OG and thinking of what i want next. Shouldn't have got 9 strains in such a small time.
Also how long did you dry and whats you're plan on cure?
1/2 was chopped and started drying Wednesday. The other half was done Friday. I’m surprised how fast they started drying becuase our humidity has been REALLY high due to almost a solid week of rain ... RH in the house has been at 70-80% for the last 7 days. But I just hung them in the same tent I grew them in with the exhaust fan on and the two little fans on a low speed (one high up in the tent and one down low) ... even in there with the fans running the humidity was around 65%.
To cure they are in Mason jars and I’ll just burp them each day like I read I should. And if they seem a little too moist I’ll leave them open for 1/2 hr before closing them back up.
I also saved MANY of the sugar leaves that I trimmed off and just set them in the tent in a paper bag and shook it gently each day to mix them and they dried to about 1/2 oz too. I was considering freezing them and later on possibly attempting some dry ice has (just dont know how much is really needed for that).
I had left some of the popcorn buds on a cookie sheet out for a few days and when they seemed mostly dry I gave it a test smoke. SMOOOOOTH man ... nice taste and damned good buzz from the little I smoked. The smell was your typical skunky smell, but seems to have a HINT of mint in the jars. Weird *lol*
And yeah, if that one hadn't runted on me I’m sure it could have pulled 2 z’s like the one did. And I’m sure even THAT could have been more if I hadn’t had the issues to start with before
@Homie Da Clown and
@Wisher2 rescued my girls!
Next run I’m going to do 2 of Mephisto’s Double Grape, but I’m getting another black bucket. The WaterFarm worked well, but all that hydroton was heavy when I wanted just to peek at her roots. My current black bucket has a 6” net pot lid and I think I’ll switch to 8” net pot lids for the next run.
Also, now I know more or less the basics on how to add the right amount of nutes, how to ph the water correctly, how to keep my tent at the right temps and how to somewhat manage the RH. I realized that I could READ about that stuff all day long, but putting it into real action is a whole different ball game. So, with what I HAVE learned through my first bumbling stumbling attempt, I would assume the next one should be a BIT easier
However, Homie has said he and Wisher will be here for my next grow too! I’m sure I’ll still have LOOOOOOOOTSA questions!
... but DAMN is that nice!
do you have that yourself?
