Thank you fellas. Emann, Anna is my baby I would of with Bella a week or two ago. She is finally showing some progress and I think she might produce some decent buds finally. I'll be adding some more pics in a day or two.

Day 69 of flower

So it's been awhile huh. Sorry I haven't been able to keep up on the updates y'all. The good news is I'm harvesting this week. I do believe there's enough amber from what I can tell. Bella's buds really haven't shown any progress since last update. So with my Rubbermaid being used for my drying chamber for this go around, Bella is also getting chopped.


This update doesn't have as many pics as I've been doing but they're good close ups!








any links on drying and curing that y'all would like to share?

Thanks emannn. I had hope for my cabinet to be done before I was done with this grow. I think I may do a pc grow and try this Rubbermaid with 1 plant and a new light part on my little structure. It's a shame Bella doesn't have more time.

So yesterday was the day. I spent about 4 hours trimming my babies. I really wish Bella could had more time but Anna was ready and I needed the Rubbermaid for my drying. Anna gave me about 6ozs and Bella about 2. I say about because the only good scale I had at the time was a food one that was super cheap like $5-6.

So, looking back at my first grow... I wish I would of vegged for a couple more weeks. I could of packed my screen a lot more than I did. I feel that the branch I accidentally cut off Bella is what that slowed her down so much. It definatly was one of the biggest branches. Shit happens. I probably could of held off the harvest at least 5-7 days but for reasons it had to be done.

Weediologist, I had about 7 inches from top of the pot to the screen and I think about 7-8 from screen to lights. Once the drying is done I'll put on the light part and check for you. I could have had more space if my bulbs were on their sides, probably like 5-6 more inches. Socket to splitter to the bulb takes up space. My lights will be updated on this next go-around.

I'll post up some pics in a couple days when they go to jars. I'm been kinda busy but I won't make y'all wait too long.
 
Great ingenuity man. Like what you have done there really. Its great to know that there is another person out there that does not have to go buy bunk weed off of the street. Smoke on man smoke on.

Sick grow bb!! Those closeups are beautiful!


As for drying/curing I'll try to link you to what I used as a reference but it was a thread that was on here, so I don't know if you've already came across it or not. I also read the articles on high times about drying/curing.

What I ended up doing is drying in a well ventilated cardboard box running one small 80mm fan at half its power in my guest room which remained in absolute darkness for about 5-6 days. Afterwards I stuck them in jars with a hygrometer to see where the humidity was at and if they were anywhere in the range of 65-68 I began the curing process. If they were out of range I would let them hang out a bit more.

What I found out was that, what everyone's been saying in terms of waiting for the stem to snap is true; well to a certain extent... I'll clarify.


I ended up using humidipaks to cure/store my stuff, so going by what the opposing side had said about the stem snapping and it being too dry by then and it being a bad thing, I ended up curing/storing when the stem would break but not snap completely off and with the humidipaks it took FOREVER to cure and even dry for that matter. Hell some of them that have been sitting in jars since July are still holding onto a fair share of moisture from the stem (the stem won't snap off completely).

So what I ended up doing was taking half of them out and re-drying them for a couple of hours until the stem actually did snap off with a clean break and that was some really good clean smoke. So I think it depends on how you plan on curing/storing them. If you're going to have a humidipak then dry until the stem snaps off completely, if you're not going to use a humidipak I would dry until the stem breaks but doesn't snap off completely. That way you have enough moisture in the stem to slowly cure the bud and let all the terpenes and thc do their thing w/ the occasional burping here and there of course.

I think the difference is in how the humidipak keeps the moisture at a consistent 62 which will hold moisture in the stem of the plant for an even longer amount of time than if you wouldn't have a humidipak or something else keeping moisture in the jar.


Just what I've observed myself, anyways can't wait for those jar pics!! And CONGRATS on some sweet bud!!

Well, I guess I lied when I said I won't make y'all wait long. My bad..


Anyways, it stanks wonderfully, must be the cheese part. Smoke is a fruity taste but can't really describe it. The high is a creeper. I smoked a bowl in my bong and didn't feel anything for a minute or two and then it hit me.
This is my first time with blue cheese but I'd give it a 8.5/10













Some crappy pics minus the last one


I'll be starting up again soon
