With my fear of the neighbors complaining about smell (they did during the grow at a couple points) so after hanging I turned on my room exhaust fan that goes through one of many air filters. After hanging to dry I got a really bad flu, to the point I had to go get an IV for fluids. In two days with that fan on the outsides dried too fast I think, I assume because of the room exhaust fan despite the fact it didn't blow air across the buds but pulled it through the room. I started trimming today and wasn't even able to get one plant finished in 8 hours, I was doing about 1.5 ozs per hour, I'm not a dexterous work kind of person. As a one man show I'm worried it will all turn to dust before I can trim it all. The stem rot felt like growing pains I could live with because I still had plenty left but now I feel like I really screwed up on the dry and totally failed. I turned the room humidity up to about 62-65%, hopefully that combined with
Boveda 62s will help rejuvenate it. Still, it smells strong, is frosty, sticky, dense, smokes smooth, and is very powerful.
Next round on my table under a Green Beam Cycloptics 315 CMH. Getting my lateral roots before the UC so I don't risk any rot. Should have started a week earlier and on top of that cloning took 3 weeks, it had never taken me more than 2 in my life. I think it's because they were stalky clones from the plant having sat under a T5 it's whole life, instead of young fresh clones. Hopefully in about 13 weeks I can redeem myself. New DSLR too.
