One thing I noticed during the curing/drying was that the small one that i chopped whole retained more RH than the huge one that i chopped in parts- after 48hrs in jars (after 5 full days of hang drying in 40-60% RH) the small one had about 70% RH whereas the big one had 50% RH.
I did add some...
Yep... in an effort to avoid any further budrot I took all the affected colas as well as hand picked all the crystallized material off the plant I could see- then promptly vacuum sealed it and tossed it in the freezer.
Tomorrow I'll get a bag of ice and do the deed, hopefully with a better...
Alright... so I think I have to harvest the remainder fairly soon. I was gone for a couple days and when I came back a couple pieces of the buds were dying. That being said its developed a nice purple tinge on most of it. I'm going to estimate about 2-4 more ounces from what I have left.
I am...
Alright... initial harvest is done. By the sizes I've previously alloted i have about 19 ounces from the big one and 3 ounces from the small one (and still have some weighty branches growing). So far so good. RH in jars is right at about 55-60%. Any more advice is appreciated 👏
Dry trimming...
Stopped hang drying some today! RH is hard to get up here, I might have to add some boveda pack to the jars. So far about 6-8OZ harvested. I think i should get about 18-24OZ from the first 3 chops of the big one, and 3-4OZ from the small one. And that's not counting what is still in the ground 😎
I got a fan, humidifier, and hygrometer in the dry/cure room, currently at 67F/54%RH (its hard to get RH high in CO). Also complete dark in there... just did a quick trim of any yellow leaves and I'm going to leave that room be for a couple days. Here's the remains of the big one!
Just chopped the 3 main stems of the big one... and the small one. I had to do it a bit earlier than expected, still pretty late at night. I think it happened right at the height of the (almost) full moon. Currently drying in a converted bathroom at 65F/50-60%RH. Still have a number of lower...
Alright... 25 mph winds supposedly today over the next few days, with sustained night time temps in the 40s now. I'm going to chop tomorrow morning if think.
I did a once over and removed most of the yellow and dead leaves this morning, and will wash with my hose this afternoon (winds shoukd...
Alright... it's looking close now. Some of the branches are getting weighty on the big one. Small one has a decent amount of amber too I think... let me know what you think!!
Evening update! Nothing knocked over today with sustained 20mph winds all day. More amber on the small one, at least noticeably at night. Better pics tomorrow 😶🌫️
My first outdoor grow i didn't expect much and still got a good amount, but I think I cut early. Reason I came on here was because I was already looking up so much stuff, I figured adding my experience to the mix would help. So far, it has- i would have cut last weekend if not for the poll(s) I...
There's one branch on the big one I am tempted to pull now; its like falling over due to the weight. Ill post a pic of that to be sure.
As much as I want to cut the small one tomorrow morning.. I am going to wait lol. Glad I looked on here.
To be sure, the dispensary where i got this strain...
