Day 39, week 6 in flower. Nothing was perfect, but I think they will survive till the end. I’m quite satisfied. Round about 24 days left. What do you think? Any ideas or advices?
Day 50 in flower. I’m satisfied. Not 100%, but 85%. I know my mistakes and soon in approximately 10 days I will bring it to an end. I can’t wait to try this 3 different medicines.
3 different strains at the same time was very difficult, but I have no another chance to find the perfect medicine for me and my family.
Bro they all look so good i would be super proud they got nice canopies and some amazing looking nugs great job
It’s done. Yesterday at day 63 was harvest time. With my 2 friendly helpers we needed 2,5 hours to get this job done. Cool harvest party.
Drying process started.
What do you think how long the drying process will need at about 20 °C (68 °F) and 53,7% RH with your experience?
Mine took around 12 days id say anywhere between 10-14 days should be good to go and great work bud plants look beautiful and i love a nice harvest get together congrats bud
I was watching a interview the other day with dr bruce bugby and according to there tests around 14-16 days of a slow dry is the way to go. Itll dry as well as cure in the same proccess but also has shown to preserve more of the taste,smell, and trichomes and the dude from build a soil does same method a believe. Ive yet to get it to 14 its been around 12 days so im going to try and slow it down this next harvest and see if a 14-16 is achievable with my enviroment
After 4 days in this conditions I tried already and have a closer look with my fingers. Bud size playes a big role. I took the baby buds for a try with 40% RH after another 24 hours. Still cough, but already very good effect
Keep me updated on the proccess please i may try to mimic you if you like the outcome
Don’t do this. I’m satisfied. That’s enough for me. I give a shit on 5% in my life so far. I was there in my life. And now I don’t care about 92 or 97% quality. But I will keep you updated. I promise
Last shit from me today. I’m out for today.

Soon it seams to be dry and cured already like you said. What to do next. Just going on and put them in a jar after 10 days. It feels dry enough. Almost all buds seems to be cured already if I touch them. @Smokey101
And what do you think at this stage? It looks like that pre trimming was enough already. Just to put them in jar or still trimming for good looking buds for the industry. I grow just for me, that’s why I’m asking this question
If they are dry to the touch you could jar and start curing just check on bud after a few hours as moisture could still be trapped in the denser buds and if bud is moist then pull out the jar and let dry an extra day. Thats how i do it until im 100% confident in my dry/cure ability. As for trimming its personal choice i trim so it looks nice but its personal use so i dont really try for commercial grade look not to mention im the only one trimming my plants and what a time consuming pain it is
Its almost impossible for us home growers to know when bud has about 5%-10% moisture( more towards the 5%) left in it without expensive equipment ( i believe) but thats the range youll want the bud moisture to be before curing
It’s done. After 2 weeks drying I trimmed 10 hours (with some breaks) with one friendly helper. From 6pm till 4am.
Result after some pictures.
All buds together: 509,42g = 17,95 ounces
Just trim: 59,94g = 2,11 ounces
Do you really open the jars everday for a couple of minutes? I know I could buy this boveda packs, but just for this packs it was little bit expensive for me. How you do this? And how long? 10 minutes everday for the next 2 weeks or how? @Smokey101 @Crackadoo @ItsOzzie
