I had some Haze buds get lost to mold because it wasn't as dry as I thought :( Never again though as I now opt for the same as jig, a little too dry is better than moldy.

I have some Haze right now though that is straight fire. A little Jack Herer too. They have both been curing for a few months now and after smoking the oil yesterday, I couldn't help but want to have more when I got home so I fired up the vape and ran some haze through it with my firefighter brother-in-law and my wife, hehe. He could barely walk to the car to be driven home after three rips off the vape but my wife was smart enough to just take one small rip and I finished it off. I could barely get up of the couch myself for some oatmeal cannacookies about an hour after hitting the vape but I managed ;)

That's just a really great way of doing it. Yes.

Yeah but leave the lid off at first.

When I cure, i go to jars without lids, then I slowly close them, starting for maybe an hour at a time, then reopen. After awhile all the moisture will have came out from the insides, and you can leave the lid on indefinitely, but not until the moisture is mostly gone.

I know when I open the jar after it has been sealed overnight, and the buds still feel firm to the touch, they are ready to be sealed for good.

Gah. I've got the same. Just installed a 14000 btu ac unit I hope that fixed my climate. And damned if I'll grow Chronic again.
Seems to be a rash of that going around.
One of my MTF's had it too.
Cut off the top half of the kola to see if the rest was salvageable and it looked clean where I cut it last.
Took off probably over an 1/8th in dry weight.
Been a cool and wet winter/spring/summer so far.
Supposed to get into the upper 80's (Fahrenheit) next weekend, so might be time to roll out the A/C unit here, too.

Here's my problem, and I know how to sort it just need to get round to doing it. Hot air rises basically, and my air circulation at the very top of my cab (way up there in the clouds) get's a bit stagnant imo. MY RH in the middle of the cab is between 50-60 (70 as soon as I water but that drops rapidly down to below 60 after watering). So yeh, I need to up the air circulation in the top of my cab basically. The cola on the ED was the highest thing in there. Anyway, think they are coming down today.

soryy to hear DST :-( was the rh too high during growing or drying?
Hello, my long lost friends of the 600 :-)
Have been layed up with some more (on-going) back problems and haven't been online much this weekend.
But I did get my Rush concert swag pack in the mail on Saturday:
Poster (#4,768 of 5,000), Rush guitar picks, CD with two songs ("Caravan" and "BU2B" which stands for "Brought Up To Believe") from their to-be-released next album, A special edition concert t-shirt, a photo album of the tour so far, and a DVD documentary highlighting the creation of the albums "2112" and "Moving Pictures".



The concert starts at 7:30pm tomorrow night, and is said to be about 3-hours long.
Should be a fun time, just hope I don't have to sit down too much because of my back.
I'll have some pics and a few of their songs caught on video during the concert and will post pics here in the 600 as well as links to the vids on youtube.
Peace!

(*now I have a weekend's worth of 600-mania to review so I can catch up with what's going on)
Hope you have a fantastci time brother doob!!!!!!

My wife would laugh at me if I said I had to buy an a/c unit...in Northern Europe!!!!

Have a great day/night/sleep/whatever you are doing....

a second dehumidifier? U can do what the Dutch forefathers were doing when they came to Holland and shifted water. create an arid zone in the puddle of Amsterdam

Thanks D!
This concert has been a long time coming, and I'm going to make the most of it. ;-)
Will have a full report with pics on Wednesday.

Amazing what a difference a few decimeters in height can make regarding the humidity.
Well, I hope we all get our mold/bud rot issues straightened out, forthwith! That shtuff sucks!!

Peace!

It smelled soooo strong when I trimmed it. I forced 4 oz in a jar and capped it. after 2 days burping the jar I found it to smell like grass.
Bassman, there's your problem, you forced four ounces...I fill my jars loosely and only about three quarters full to allow for air to move around my buds. Before I open a jar to burp it, I first roll it around to loosen the buds then open, after it sits for five minutes or so I roll the jar around again tumbling the buds and let it sit open a while longer before putting the lid back on.

Billcollector, all the thc when you first chop your babies is not psychoactive, the curing process allows more of the inactive thc to become psychoactive. Our hobby is just like wine as far as the finished product. They don't stomp grapes and then hand you a glass of wine, it needs time to age, so do our flowers to bring out their full potential for taste and high.

Drying and curing. I dry my bud in my grow room with my dehumidifier set at fifty percent humidity, generally four or five days does the trick, by then the outsides are crisp to the touch before jarring. I also started using a hygrometer in my jars to know exactly what the humidity is in the jars. If it's above six percent I leave the lids off overnight. Once it reaches sixty percent it stays in the jars and then I start burping the jars a couple of times a day until it reaches fifty five percent humidity. Once it hits that number it's good to go, no more burping the jars the lids stay on at that point. I also use half gallon mason jars for curing and then put it into smaller jars after it hits fifty five percent humidity.

only if I turn my light tower upside down, I just need to add some circulating fans up there, or put another small exhaust fan (which are 2 things I have been pondering for too long now!) But that's mainly to do with the fact that if I add another exhaust, I have to buy another splitter for the pipe that everything eventually gets exhausted into....kind of like buying alloy wheels for your car, you have to also get decent tyres, and then start messing with your suspension, breaks, etc, one thing leads to another as you know.
