yeah man....super silver haze is the shit! My fav strain from The Netherlands, I posted some back to myself last time I was over there. I have always been put off growing it due to long flowering time, but I can't resist anymore, so I ordered some SSH (5 fem seeds) last week. 3 have been germed and are just breaking the soil today. Along with 3 Trainwreck and 3 Blue Cheese. Going for a bit of variety this time! :joint:

We have a weiner, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Freakin Tahoe figured it out. - Honey.

Yeah man, we use molasses which got me to thinking, whilst watching a bee outside that maybe honey might have a similar beneficial effect.

What thinks you?

an old og grower was mentioning that honey is absorbed better than the molasses because it more naturally occurs than molasses. I can see how that could be true, but just like with most of these old growers, once theyre stuck in their ways they'll probably never change.

yes, it continues ..... I guess I am starting to see less dramatic change and now maybe just more swelling. The eruption of white hairs also seems to have slowed down. Thirst is tempered but still there. Pure water and a very light molasses for feeding at the moment. about a litre or less per day now.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: This is the main cola and a cropped closeup. Still watching and still waiting. :weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed::weed:

One thought aside - this cola is dense as dense can be. What kind of precautions should I take to ensure the drying/curing is successful? Many thanks in advance of your feedback!

IMO, dry whole and SLOW If the humidity is above 60% add a little fan indirectly.

if ur worried at all about any of it drying properly theres a pretty fool-proof way that i like;

strip all fan leaves while she's still standing in her pot. anything not covered in trichomes. on smaller branches/colas just place the base of the branch between ur middle and ring fingers with ur palm facing up. Squeeze ur palm-up vulcan fingers together and slide ur hand up the branch popping off all the buds. Use scissors to individually snip off larger buds and colas.

place 50-70 grams of buds into an open paper lunch sack. place said sack on a shelf (wire or 'open-weave') in a room that is temperature and humidity controlled. Humidity less than 60 percent with approx. 50 percent preferred. Temperatures 70 or higher, with higher temperatures drying more quickly.

placing twice that much weight in the bag will cause the buds to dry in maybe 8-10 days instead of 4-6. More buds will also mean that you will have to 'toss' the buds moving center buds to the outside or top of the sack every other day.

weigh an empty lunch sack (7.7 grams) then add ur material... and weigh again (57.7 grams). 1/4 of the weight is what u r shooting for.... so when the bag weighs 20.2 grams (50 grams of material devided by 4 equals 12.5 + the bag weight of 7.7) ... then ur weed is almost completely dry. If the bag weighs 22 or 23 grams or more then you can fold the top of the bag over to significantly slow the drying process and effect more of a cure. I like to dry to a gram less than the 1/4 weight and then immediately seal it up in plastic bag snugging it all together. Any moisture will then even out. After a few days re-open the bag. If it feels bendy or the center of the bag seems cooler to the touch... then you know you'll want to loose another gram or more, so at least leave the bag open for awhile.

SIMPLIFIED VERSION: :D :

put it in a paper bag till its 1/4 the weight. throw the shit in a plastic bag and smoke the hell out of it.

First comment here. Great grow. But do not use a dehydrator on that bud. I have dehydrated a lot of bud recently. It works fine for drying quick nugs to test the potency of the plant, but it ruins the taste and makes it a super harsh smoke. Also tends to over dry the bud making it crumble between your fingers. If you decide to dehydrate bud, I have found through much testing that letting it go at 90-95F for 24 hours does it the best. Any higher heat seems to greatly effect the potency. Hope this helps. And again, fantastic grow.
