desperately In need of advice!

[ayeob]

My friend there is nothing more to do for now. Check once in morning and once at night. Leave alone the rest of the time.

This will take days at a minimum. Most go weeks.

okay sounds like a plan!

I was thinking about using mine in the basement shower with just the tops harvested. Let the lower buds ripen up.

They will over dry in that so keep an eye on it. I would put a few in a paper bag and compare.

I find the screens good for separating the larger flower from the smaller. This way you only have to monitor the section of flower and not have to go through them all to see what's ready to go in the jar and what needs more time.

All your numbers are good. You've done and are doing everything right. Now it's up to your genetics to see what you finally get.

Did you transfer the branches to the net or did you remove the flowers off the branches and then net them?

Correct, and if the conditions are right you wouldnt even need to jar them honestly. I know people who have rooms dedicated to drying weed and they have left plants up hanging for 6+ months and the bud was fine

had a thought, the last grow and this one i got the seeds from the same person, and i think both might have bad genetics. but i got this weed from the dispensary and i found a few seeds in the bud, was thinking about using those. are those seeds able to been grown? like are the a female seed? cause if so i feel like that seed would have better genetics. thoughts?

Hey buddy you have a heavy watering hand just like everybody who started growing back in the day everybody is guilty of over-watering their shit you have to remember one thing about pot you can't bother it all the time it doesn't like to be played with I don't want to be touched all the time take care of your business and zip up the tent or shut the door look at it once or twice a day in vet it if it needs to be fixed if you micromanage it you're going to do everything wrong and you won't know what you've done wrong LOL I'm guilty of the same thing when I first started out I like to play with the plants and water them and touch them and now I don't even want to be by him until it's harvest time LOL good luck buddy

 

[ayeob]

[ayeob]

just got back home and they are now at 58 is the highest. was going to burp them but probably should wait till tonight

 

[GNick55]

if they hoover around 58 than your good, meaning maybe once a day for 5 or so days just open the jar enough to replace/refresh the air inside the jar than put the lid back on..

Take nicks advice but I burp mine over 61-62%

First 5 days like nick said they’ll climb fast some days I had to burp 2-3 times the first day or 2 then down to once a day, then it’ll be slower each day till it stays steady

Just to be clear, gnick said to open daily for 5 days, not leave them closed for 5 days.

I’m no expert but I've had good results with paper bag drying in my garage beer fridge.

Grocery bags, each with a couple ozs of buds on stems that have been through partial tent drying. Give em space inside the bags (I crisscrossed the stems corner to corner) and close the bag.

Turned the fridge as warm as I could, then every day or two I’d open, air out, and lightly toss the bag contents before putting them back in. It’s a good low-n-slow technique. Eventually I finished the cure in jars with humi packs using techniques already mentioned. Excellent flavor and aroma retention.

BTW, I used 62% humi packs and felt the buds were a bit too moist. I ordered some 58% packs for the current grow.

Yeah, I saw you have your current method in play. I just cracked a fat bud I harvested last summer and it smells fantastic. I store my jars in that fridge too. Some may say it’s too cool but it seems to really preserve the terpenes etc.
