First time grow in zone 9b, lets learn from my mistakes

This fucking bush over here smells like kush. And cheese. I need it in my life. Also quite octopussy. I had to. Kush and cheese sound delicious!

Trying to get a dry space arranged. This is a room attached to our garage for our craft shit, it’s probably the least disturbed area.

Airflow wise, there is one window and one door way. My plan in my mind is to get 90% shade cloths and cover the door and window while
leaving them open. Hoping that will give enough room to breathe while a majority of the light.

I will set up fans as well. Here’s to hoping.

Gotta work with what you have!

It is very smart to map all of this out first. Sucks to scramble around when it's time. If you are doing a bud wash, get that set up too (the buckets or containers). You may want to order an indoor hygrometer and put it in your dry room before you even start cutting. That way if you need to add or decrease humidity, you'll know ahead of time too. I threw blackout curtains over existing curtain rods since it will temporary. I was about to spray the window with water and add aluminum foil until I remembered I had extra blackouts. If you are doing jars after hanging, Amazon has cheap small hygrometers that fit inside your jars.

I’ve used the boveda packs in the past. Last time I bought weed my guy was all jazzed about the grove bags, I saw some talk about them on here so I got a bunch. Might swap to jars though.

I do need to do a bud wash. Gotta get some bins

Drop her name or channel name. Not sure why some YT video links can't be shared here. Down to check it out.

I would suggest using the grove bags for curing thrn transferring to jars for long term

i’ll educate as you grow,.
to me hang branches should be closer to 3 weeks,. i never ever burp,. i think burping is because of inadequate drying,.
again burping comes from the old days of illegal growing,. so think of it as “just hang long enough so we can finish the drying in jars by burping” to get the weed hidden away and not to stink up the room/area,.
back in the day just the smell of having marijuana was scary enough if the wrong people found out than you could get busted or robbed,.. it was great and it was a nightmare growing or being in the drug business back than,. there were no grow stores etc so how did we get our stuff? etc

Shit, super valid point. So you just let them air out for three weeks? or is there something you look for to feel like they’re done.

Also what’s your opinion on chopping the whole plant vs by branch

and any tips on telling that they’re ready to harvest, I have a loupe but I can’t tell what I’m looking at

This is where we’re at today. Transplanted on saturday, so 5 days post.

They have good color in my opinion, but looking a little sad. the ones I’m assuming are sativa from leaf shape are a bit happier. Similar thing happened when I initially moved them from inside to outside, I had about a week of freaking out and they came back.

I let the soil dry a bit then gave them a decent watering today, going to try and go back to every other day now that they’re not in the green house. Sure they will perk up but I’m nervous as we get closer to flowering. Any suggestions?

Leaf shape means nothing in my personal experience, I grow thin leaves that put me to sleep. The genetics have been crossed into oblivion at this point unless you grow land race ✌️
