Thanks again my brother! The force was with me on this grow for sure!

Found a couple little Airy popcorn buds that were dry enough to roll a little pinner. Good lord it's pretty tasty! Didn't really notice much of that green taste like most fresh buds, but there was a definite orange undertone on the exhale... Very very different. I'll make sure to do a proper review when I smoke a real fatty by the end of the week. Gotta say though, for what I smoked, I'm actually pretty stoned.

Amazing job opi, she looks like a frosty delicious girl, looking forward to the smoke report! Stocked up on some seeds I see also!

Drying update

Temp 68
Rh 40%

This round of drying seems to be going faster than usual. I felt up the lady a little this morning, and she was feeling rather crispy on the outside. I wanted it to take longer, but there really doesn't seem to be a problem at all. There's no hay smell what so ever. In fact, she's starting to smell even better than before! Still not quite ready for tthe jars, but she'll be in them before I head back to work for sure!

The thing that really surprises me is the buds that I have bag drying. They feel way more moist than the hanging ones. I figured they would be the ones finishing first. No difference in smell that I can notice though.

I had myself a little sample wake and bake with a few more popcorn nuglets that were good to go.... Mmmm mmm Mmmm nothing short of amazing.... I won't go into detail right now. I'll save that for the smoke report. If I can pull myself together to write one after a fatty...

Damn, you got me wanting to drop a couple of these....

Makes me wonder if the XL is going to carry the same characteristics.

Just an FYI, the paper bag drying is the slower drying method vs hanging... so that makes sense they would be more moist. I always prefer drying in the bags, slow drying tends to retain more of the smell pre-cure. Usually takes me 6-8 days to get to 65%.

Hmm neat, thanks for the info!

I've always assumed that the bag method would be a bit of a faster dry for some reason. I've never done a side by side before, and I tend to strain hop a lot, so I've never had anything to really judge by.

I can't even begin to describe the smell emitting from my basement right now. The orange is really starting to come out. It reminds me of my bubblicious, but not really... Whatever it is its fucking fantastic, and my mouth is watering! Judging by looks alone, I think she's going to weigh in around the same as my think Different, if not more!

Lovley journal and final crop !!! Enjoy
