Finally getting back on here after a busy couple of weeks. A little update here, and off to read some of my favorite subs. My girls have been jarred for 3 weeks and a couple of days. The aroma when you open them is mellowing out but I would say pineapple at the first whiff. They seemed to be more grapefruit when growing, especially if you rubbed a stem. Lets just say that I love opening the jar lid.
The final weight as of yesterday was 263 grams or 9.4 oz; roughly 2.3 oz per plant. If you recall from the grow, there seemed to be two different phenos, (the two on the left vs the two on the right). I kept them separate when I chopped and have them in different jars. What was funny was that one jar weighed 132 grams and the other weighed 131 grams. I used one gallon glass jars and they barely fit in at first. I love the way the buds feel now after 3+ weeks of curing. I used a hygrometer in each jar, and Simon's "The Perfect Cure" method and it was very easy. I highly recommend it. I also used a 62% humidipak in each jar after getting close to that point naturally. My hygrometers show 62-63% continuously and the cure is amazing. That weight for 4 plants probably wouldn't make some happy. Since I only vegged with a 400 W MH and flowered with a 430 W HPS and no side lighting, I think that it went well. A scrog would have spread things out for sure and I may try that with fewer plants next time. I have 9.4 oz of C'99 that will keep me happy for quite some time.
Which reminds me, has anyone here ever put some bud in the freezer for long term storage? I have a food saver vacuum sealer that I was thinking of using to seal some up and freeze. I'm not sure how long that jarred bud will keep even at a perfect 62%. Advise would be appreciated. As for smoke, what can I say. For me, 3 hits and I'm nicely ripped for a couple of hours. It's a high that will still allow you to function and it makes me laugh. We watched "Family Guy" the other night and I enjoyed the C'99 effect. After the high wears off a bit, it's a nice mellow buzz that will allow you to just sit back and enjoy. That's my take on it, yours may vary. I wouldn't want to try to sleep right away, but 3 1/2 hours after smoking, I was drowsy and slept very well. Thanks again to those who subbed my thread and were very forthcoming with advise. You know who you are, and if we ever meet up, I owe you a big, fat, joint.
