Citizen Bubba's law abiding grow box

Regardless of how many i need i get a flat that i believe has 12 in it. I go with the largest size in the flats, quart i think, with the wide mouth. With 12 you should be able to get the pint sized, and still have plenty left over. Kind of a personal choice.

Thanks Guys!

Trimmed till 2AM. The trimmed bud wet weight for the sativa pheno was 590g. The Indica pheno yielded 572g wet weight. Plus a big ass bowl of trim.

Funny thing was, the smell wasn't too strong during harvest..... I noticed that the smell had tapered off over the last week. Is that because of the flush?

now for the next stage ...... figure @ 5-7 days to dry - you'll know it's at the right point when you try to bend the top cola and she still has a slight bendiness to her, not dry enough to 'snap'. at this stage, cut all buds into the jars and burp those jars a couple times a day for a couple weeks, this will even out the remaining moisture levels, and finish natural processes that offgas and cure the final product. done correctly, you'll get full tastes/smells and high profile. done incorrectly, and you get an end product that smells/tastes like hay/grass with a slightly lower high profile.

Thanks ec, you and Tru and the rest of they guys are the reason there is a harvest IMO. I'll proceed carefully with the curing. I had hoped to yield a bit more than 2 oz per plant... but if not that's ok. 4 ounces for the full harvest... Roughly 2 oz per month if I grow perpetual. That covers the smoke for sure, but not sure if that will be enough to keep me in tincture. We'll see.

Great work! Now you know the joys of hours of trimming, fun stuff isn't it?
I have to disagree with EC on the dry time, even running my swamp cooler i can't pull 5-7 days on hangers. If my house is the same (ambient) humidity as the outside world as it normally is, 3 day dry almost spot on time and time again. So watch them close still.
Glad all went so well for you, and you gotta post pics of the white buds before you smoke em.
What is next in the tent?

If you germ a couple Meltdowns and/or R-4 we can compare grow methods as I have just started 2 of each and plan to veg under T-5s for 6-8 weeks and then 600 W HPS.

Sounds good 420c.

The buds have been hanging in the cab with the fans running (not blowing directly on buds) since 2AM Sunday morning. I was planning on jarring in another day or so... problem is I have to head out of town until Friday afternoon. What should I do as I won't be around to burp the jars?

I would just jar 'em and burp when you return, no reason to worry, they won't turn to pickles unless they go in wet and are too warm, so cool dark storage would be best for a couple days.

Ok, thanks bro, that's the plan.... Was pretty much all I could do anyway.


Headed for Mormon country tomorrow... Reckon I should bring my jars along so's I can burp em? :shock:


Shouldn't even joke about that shit... I even take the dugout out of the truck when I go there... Freaking beautiful country, but redneck Mormon cops. And that really sucks because it would be nice to have some smoke along for the trip back and the fishing I expect to do. Gonna fish anyways, but isn't the same without a j. I notice I breath a sigh of relief when I pass the CO line nowadays coming home. Easy to take our privileges for granted until you travel.

I guess I could stop short of the line and stash some huh? There's a business op for someone.... weed lockers at all state borders and the airport.

Genius. Maybe the state can get together with DOT to install quarter operated lockers. If someone was to open a dispensary at the state line it would probably do a brisk business, along with the WY/NE/NM/OK/UT police departments.

Got my harvest jarred. It filled (10) quart jars. One last report coming in a couple of weeks for a final weight and smoke report. It feels weird to be heading out of town and to not have to sweat my girls tanking while I'm gone.

Can anyone give me details on how to get samples tested?

Lol... I walked right into that one. Can anyone give me details on how to get a bud analyzed for THC/CBD content. Will those guys do a one-off test for a patient?
