NICE pics! I like those super fine detail shots man, very cool.
Finally, it's all paying off... lol

55 % humidity is not to bad, i like to get it a little lower but not to much or they will dry to fast. youll want to keep an eye out for mold. you want to have a circ fan on low setting blowing but not directly on your product. and make sure they are not touching each other so you get good air all around each one. and you want it dark the whole time they are drying except for the few minutes you go in there and check for dryness and mold. dont forget you want about 10% moisture left in them so they will cure in jars. no moisture no cure. to much moisture you get mold.Oh, forgot these:
Heres where they hang, temps are right at 60 with RH of 55.
You guys think that is ok for drying without problems?
Weigh it then mulitply by 3 then devide by 10 percent! LOL LMF you fricken kill me!! Wait thats for 5 percent. J/K How did the PPP roots look?And plz tell me you new i was joking,with those calculations??Lmao hey if you can find someone willing to pay for those logs you got a great customer .Are i wont say the other.Im with Born tho 1oz wet=1/4 dry minus the logs!!!how do i know when there is 10% moisture left in them?
Okay, that's what i thought but got confused when we started talking about 10 percent moisture. I 'll just follow this and see what happens.When you hang them long enough that the stem will snap and not bend is when I jar them, the stem will get moist again inside the jar. When you feel that it has returned to as moist as it could get open the jar and "burp" it for a little while. You should be able to stick your nose in the jar and feel the difference in humidity.
Leave the jar open as long as possible until the humid feeling is gone inside the jar.
It will lose all good smell for a while. Cut grass and hay are what mine usually smell like for a few weeks. When you open the jar to "burp" them and the stem is fragile and snaps right away then they are as cured as they can get because there is no moisture present anymore. You can cure more by adding moisture back in and repeating the process.
Too high to even comprehend that beech, but i did pick up the gravity today. Dude cut me a deal on it and i got it for $22.00.Weigh it then mulitply by 3 then devide by 10 percent! LOL LMF you fricken kill me!! Wait thats for 5 percent.
AAWWWW....cmon born, why not?Just don't keep those tree trunks on them if you're selling any..
I've found my dry yield is roughly 1/4 my wet weight, but I don't know how that ratio shifts with alot of stalk on the scale.. It is a great way to dry it, but you'll get a better cure breaking it down to the smaller nugs that it should rightfully be..
gotchya', thats my plan, i'm in the patience stage of waiting it out now, so we'll see how this goes..IMO any part of a cola that has its own clearly defined stalk should get taken off, then whatever at the tip can't be pulled away from the main stalk should be trimmed up as a larger bud..
thanks born!Like I said that condition is ideal for drying.. Pinch em off just before the cure..
yup, thats what i'm waiting for, the stems to snap, but they still bend. After that they'll go to the bags.Your bud will be crispy feeling before its ready to cure.. Stems should be just starting to snap instead of bend.. Then while curing they'll soften up as the internal moisture expands outward..
I actually like good RW for cloning, but not all RW is created equal thats for sure!
