First Time Grower- Bloom Time

[AsheyBear]

I know! It’s like a Smokey earthy… porky smell.

I only have my plant bacon six times too, so it’s weird

When you say you sprayed your buds down and shook off excess water u don’t mean you’re hanging drying buds do ya? If rot around ya don’t wanna be spraying anything on em when they drying or I may have misunderstood it happens a lot congratz on the harvest btw

Smells can be difficult to relay......1 - 20......

Said to spritz the area after harvest. Was looking up prevention techniques for after harvest

Wasn’t alot, but ya, totally did day 1 of myself drying cause it said it’s a prevention technique for spreading bud rot spores. Was same dryness level within 30 mins of me spritzing them down. I gave me a tiny shake after I had, and maybe a drop came off bahahaha. Either way, I figured thyme oil stops spore spread apparently, and the sites I had read offered this as a solution, and a few grower said it worked and helped stop the rest of their harvest from catching it after it was discovered

meh. Bud smells good, looks decent to me, should be okay to smoke. Overall, im pseudo disappointed in the grow. Atleast I can watch my buddy grow his in his crazy set up, and he can learn from my mistakes and hopefully have a good grow.

Still drying well, should take 3 or 4 more days hopefully
I’ll be happy to smoke it all anyways

Day 8 of drying! Still going at it! Humidity around 40-50, temps 15-18 degrees. Still a couple days to go and it should be dry! No hay smell this morning, and on closer sniff!!!!!!!!!!!

Smells amazing. It was pretty damn close to being amber trics. Had a few here and there, but could’ve used a few more days for sure. The smell though! Very earthy, little hint of Pine now. No more hammy smell hahahaha
Looks good though

My heat was high, and humidity was high

28-30 degrees and 55-60 humidity.
I didn’t have an inline fan though or dehumidifier/humidifier. I think it might’ve been genetic partially as well. She had a banana two weeks before I cut it.

Next run I have access to a small air con/humidifier combo. Will buy inline fan. Should help mitigate it.

Ontario also had a massive heat spell mid winter. Went to positive temps after snowfalls, so I was battling nature

All pictures buds have been clear of bud rot so far though. Hoping the spray helped, and the low temps will help maybe. Drying lower humidity to salvage bud

Your temps and humidity seem pretty good. Sounds more like an air flow / ventilation problem. Proper air movement helps with all kinds of potential environment issues. Looks great!

Totally was Stalker! Grabbing an inline fan this time around for Bloom atleast

 

[AsheyBear]

A little bit left it feels! Leaves are brittle at the tips and the stems are bendy with a small bit of tension on the inside, but not really quite snappy yet. Thinking tomorrow it might be good

Looking forward to the update

So the day came!!

Final weight, minus the buds I had to cut from rot(5-7 grams ish) is…..

111 Grams!!

Bud seems nice, smells a little like hay after the trim, but has a Pine scent to it. Broke down and tried a piece cause I just had to, and am going to rip the finger hash from trim! The smoke is smooth oddly. Like nice and smooth!

Overall, very happy

 

[AsheyBear]

sorry pics are a little blurry. It seems to smoking pretty nice so far though! The finger hash just made my eyes feel like they were going to fall out hahahaha. Literally, my eyes feel higher than the rest of me

The growing and harvesting part is a skill set and drying and curing is another beast of a skillet set. I’m finding the drying and curing is the more difficult of the two to achieve good taste and less hey smell.

Couple sticks of weed butter with the trims

Just ate a raisin bagel with it like an hour ago. Heavy eyes, super relaxed. That’s what the strain is know for, totally feel it

Ready to start the second grow!!
