Cheese from Seedsman

[Dr.B]

Im too late to take you through the grow itself but I can show you all the fun part!

This is about 85% of my total harvest this time around. In two years of building up to it I can finally call a harvest a success!

(Less than a pound is a failure for me. Lol ... regardless of the bud I have gotten)

@SPARECHANGE some good light pics! Enjoy! They are few and far between. I included the very rare sighting of my empty flower tent too. ;)

Anyone else get this white capping directly under the LED's? It looks really cool in the microscope. All trichome.

 

[One drop]

Nice grow I’ve got my seed order list almost ready to send through to Seedman just waiting on my wife to choose hers I think she is going crazy there’s to many to choose from ,me I’m like Cheese yep , blue cheese yep ,cream cheese yep , Afghani I’m all over ....... I’m just a simple man oh the waiting is driving me crazy ..... and she wonders why I never go close shopping with her , damn I could of grown the cheese grow by the time she is finished ... I will admit after spending a hr or so on the site is was getting schooled on how many strains they have , Jesus Christ I must live in a time bubble I thought NL, Strawberry cough n girl guid were the new plants to grow ... I’ve got to get out from under this rock and get myself out there .....

Heard it's quite common, and those bleached looking bits will actually have cannabinoid and terpene levels that are off the chart.

That's what I came up with too lol. It's troubling how it shrinks in on itself the way it does post harvest. That being said I tend to set those ones aside.

Thanks for your input!

 

[Dr.B]

Oh how I love harvest days! Lol

 

[Dr.B]

About halfway to dry enough to trim and tray... Updated total is a little more conservative than thought, but I'll wait to get it on the scales without speculating again...

Drying nicely! (For a desert)

 

[Dr.B]

Oops. Attach first...

 

[Dr.B]

Good morning farmers!

I hit the 36 hour mark hang drying this morning. Humidifiers have been running and we actually had the rain here this week... its been wet here! Humidity in my drying room never broke 50% lol ... despite the efforts of mother nature and myself... Stems are near the snapping point already.

Damp trimming and introduction to the drying rack happens this afternoon, I haven't decided what to do with the trim yet... I have enough edible oil to last years, something different would be nice.

I'm going to look for honey to infuse I think... I'm open to simple suggestions...

 

[Dr.B]

Prepped and ready for about 4 hours on my rump, hunched over trimming. The back pain, however unfortunate it may be, is always worth it. (Usually mercifully short lived too...)

 

[Dr.B]

About half done. Making decent time lol... Coffee break...

 

[One drop]

If I bring the wine n crackers .........

 

[Dr.B]

Back to work...

 

[One drop]

Back to work...

I am I just rolled the truck into the gate ....

 

[Dr.B]

All done! Still not sure what the haul adds up to but if you consider the QP I put in the rack from the first plant I harvested early...

I finally filled the drying rack to capacity! (Including the first plant lol)

 

[Dr.B]

After dry weight. 508 grams... Its not 900 grams lije Id hoped and dreamed lol but its nothing to shake a stick at either. Especially from my mere square meter of grow space. I'm happy! Cheese for a year or so!!

24 hours sealed in the jars and burping can commence just in time for summer!

Its boring to start a thread with cleaning stuff so I'll throw it on the end of this thread instead. (I'm cleaning up after cheese and its an essential part of this whole thing after all...)

- Tightened/tidied up all my half assed on the fly rigging... So many zip ties...
- Removed and cleaned the carbon filter for probably the last time, (New one is on the way) Old one is sitting in the sun.
- Removed T5 bulbs, cleaned fixtures and shades.
- Sanitized ceiling and cords
- Cleaned fan blades and cages, pre-filter for the intake is in the wash, hepa-filter replaced.
- Cleaned and vacuumed out the main light, managed to raise it a couple more inches lol (Would have made all the difference last crop)
- Washed and sanitized walls, floor, humidifier, trellis and all in tent hand tools.
- Emptied, washed and refilled water containers.
- Mend the trellis and re-install
- Clean and sanitize outer room, vacuum ceiling to floor
- Put all odds and ends away, wrap up cords, stash pots and trays etc.
- Sanitize tarped floor area between tents...
- Re-synchronize clocks and timers.

I think that's it... F@ck lol

Still curing lol. This will go on for a while. The smell is amazing! I can't have all three jars open at once or I get nattered at lol. I'm still opening the jars twice a day for dive to ten minutes a shot, humidity inside the jars seems to be holding at 62% - 63% top end of the range for curing but I like to start curing a little wet. It will creep down in the coming weeks and settle around 59% or so.

Raw organic honey and cheesecloth arrive today! I'm processing my trim into honey. Just a low temp suspension, nothing fancy.
