New Grower Dankerson's Grow & Show

Day 74/54/40:

AvT and CA and the final two standing so far, they are getting close but not quite there. AvT is getting some purple on it and looking very nice. The GP is still progressing with what I can guess is a P and K def so I gave it some bone meal and kelp meal, hopefully that helps. It's still pumping out the bud and the purple! The FD is starting to show very minor issues of a K def so I gave it some kelp meal. MM is doing wonderfully still, getting a bit of tacoing up top but thats just because it's so close to the light. I'm trying to move it away till the tacoing stops or goes away. Starting to see some purple! The Ogreberry is still having some yellowing leaves on the bottom but is still doing well overall. Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Thanks brother! i'll try that out for sure.

Have you tried drying in the brown bag from chop to jar/grovebag?

Yeah I but I wasn't a big fan. Took forever and was a lot more work having to cut it all up and put it into bags and then rotate and shake the bags twice a day for a week+. It's much less work/faster for me to do the hang dry and then bag it for the last day or two.

I had a problem with hanging the plant and it drying too fast in my lung room which cause a couple plants to hay out on me which was a bummer so I only do it in my tents now.

All these beautiful plants nearing their endstage are so pretty to look at!

Yeah I'm really surprised how they have ended up, really loving all the colors right now.
Same here haha, I say I'll get a 3x3 and dry permanently in my 2x3 but I know I'll end up growing in there too lol

Your gardens looking great bro also I brown paper bag absolutely everything but I don't have space to hang mine in another tent as my tents are always in usev

So hang dry, trim, paper bags for a day or two, then jars/groves?

Thanks man! Yeah I've considered doing that and using bags only. Do you brown bag it and then just hang it in your lung room or something?

Yes for all of that except I wait to trim till after they come out of the bags.

I don't hang the bags I just put them anywhere sometimes on the tent floor but I'd imagine your lung room would be fine I've been doing the bags since 2016 it just works better for my setup

Dank: I will defer to those with more experience, but my protocol is exactly that and I have been happy with it. Hang dry the whole plant, if possible, them trim and into paper bags for at least 12 (more likely 24) hours. This gives the residual H2O in the center of the bud time to dry out. At about T+12 hours in the bags I pull some from each bag and put into a mason jar with hygrometer to jar test, and every 6-12 hours thereafter until I get 64% RH and then into grove bags.

I have had better cures when I put them into the grove bags with a little higher RH (i.e., 64%) and let it come down to range in the grove bag. I also but a Boost 62 pack in each grove bag as I like to cure and store my bud at slightly higher than 58%RH.

IMHO, YMMV, etc. :smoking:
