Some pics of my testers, no special seeds, average Strawberry Widow from a friend, and I let a good male Indica dom pollinate them so I could have more seeds to work with...Yes I covered mine for a stretch of rain and a few times for frost. I used a scrog to keep shit even and lower. I bought a leaf blower and dried my girls every morning. I'll link my diary if you're interested, some of my antics are probably entertaining, and I always fuck a few things up lol. I actually had no mold pop up on my garden gals for the first time ever... my second slightly neglected location didn't fare as well and was chopped a bit early. My last lady made it till late October, which is rare. Gotta work for it here in the Northeast.

Hello fellow farmers! Starting my 2022 journey, and I'm going to try to actually keep a grow diary this time... I said that last year too and was lazy about it... well more like my ladies were massive and required all my extra time. 🤷♀️ So I start indoors because I'm in the Northeast and I...www.thcfarmer.com
I do a combination......wet, dry, in stages. Trimming seems like it will always need to be a time consuming process, if we want to do it right, preserve as many trichomes intact, protect the flowers as much as possible, have the buds look as nice as possible, as few leaves left as possible.....You'll notice the difference when you trim. If you wet trim.
And yes, I forgot to mention a leaf blower, absolutely......like a hair dryer for plants. It has to be helpful after rains, during humid stretches, with no breeze......Yes I covered mine for a stretch of rain and a few times for frost. I used a scrog to keep shit even and lower.

They're usually soaked most mornings from dew... the blower has been a game changer for keeping botrytis at bay. I had some dense nugs this year and didn't have any in my garden where I used it almost every morning.And yes, I forgot to mention a leaf blower, absolutely......like a hair dryer for plants.

Yep, especially if it dipped below freezing, as it warms above 32 at dawn it gets wet.They're usually soaked most mornings from dew... the blower has been a game changer for keeping botrytis at bay.

Not the joints. The half pound bags. So when you vaccum seal them they don't turn to powder. And have a nose when you get them to the other end. The kind of nugs that make your fingers super sticky and it sticks to the rollie as you try and roll it. Instead of the hard tight cure.@Ponky I don't think I've ever heard a joint described as chewy lol.
Well, at least give it away, make some sort of extract, edibles. Leaves other than the smallest most sugary sugars get turned into mulch.You start out trimming smalls. Preserving all the material. You end up shoveling kief into the garbage from under the trimming machine and throwing away the small buds. If the weed isn't awesome you don't even trim it. You just toss it. You get the perfect green only madness. And you've smelled so many bags of weed you have sinus issues.
I'm too high. The moral is some guys like a chewy and slow burning joint that drips juicy resin. And some like a nice light cigarette type joint that burns dry and firm. With no residue. White ash. Eventually you get locked into a regional flavor. You want chewy you have steps to add.
The joints that get the paper oily after one or two hits.....@Ponky I don't think I've ever heard a joint described as chewy lol.
Yeah and get all over your lips and teeth. Make your fingers a mess. I like those sometimes.The joints that get the paper oily after one or two hits.....
These are times when there is just so much weed and nothing to do with it all. Everyone only wants bags of tops. And even extract guys don't want it. Sometimes there's just so much weed and your only dabbing at the time. Sometimes we have to pay people to come and smoke weed to tell us whats good and whats gross.Well, at least give it away, make some sort of extract, edibles.

I wish I could afford a freeze dryer.you could dry a rice cure cover the shit completely with rice for about 2 weeks let it suck out the moisture , then you could have some cannabis flavored rice
I wouldn't want to get "starch" lung. :)I mean......you probably would have cannabis flavored rice. If that's what you like, sure. The rice would definitely get moist if you packed fresh cut buds in it. You'd have to monitor that.....other problems could arise.... ;). It could make for a unique dry/cure provided you got it right.
I think a slow death would probably be more detrimental than anything. I wouldn't let my veggies wither and die on the vine before picking and I wouldn't do that to my buds either. Chop em and get them drying, you want to minimize opportunity for mold and fungus to grow.
i was told when i was just a wee lil lad by an old stoner from the 70's that the you should hang them upside down with the roots attached
i have yet to try it tho
Something tells me I'll do just fine if i never use one bit of calmag..... ;)If you harvest wet plants this is correct. Before you let any thcfauxmers convince you to laugh at my post, you should look into how plants work. Gravity is a major player. Especially with leaky cell walls. Not that anyone here is Calcium deficient, with all the fucking calmag posts.
