As promised, here are a couple of snaps of what's on the go...
Above is the larger of the two Critical+2.0 - she's being harvested this weekend! Once she's dried and on the cure I'll let y'all know what the yields were from these champs.
This next image is of an ADVANCED Seeds Auto Jack Herer - this little beauty is about 5 weeks old and busting out with flowering nodes. Her smell is a bit more spicy, piney and sweet as compared to the Critical's very pungent/skunky/sweet aroma. I am very excited about the potential of this one.
Finally, this is one of a pair of AUTO Seeds Pineapple Punch - she germinated about 10 days ago and I've had her in rockwool for the past week - I put her and her sister in 10litre pots last night and have them in the courtyard for some protected sunlight. Remembering it is the Australian summer sun bearing down on them. Once they get a bit of size and a couple more leaf pairs I'll move them to a brighter location.
Now when it comes to drying - I've come across a smell issue (i.e. wifey doesn't love the smell of drying buds permeating the ground floor) and I had to come up with a solution quick smart. SO here's what I had to do. I had 3 good days in a brown paper bag and had a decent start drying, but with the smell reaching unacceptable levels, I had to seal them up in a mason jar with a 12gram (medium)Boveda 65 humidipak - I've been 'burping' the half full jar every few hours and hope this will be enough to dry and cure without developing mold.
My strategy for the other girl I'm harvesting tonight is to trim and double brown bag with a 5gram packet of activated charcoal - seal the bag and keep in a small storage box i have outside for a few days ahead of putting in a jar with a Boveda65 pack. Any comments or suggestions? I do realise the Boveda62 is the way to go, but down here in Oz there is a very limited supply of these items - hopefully the Boveda 62's I ordered from the US will get here soon.
Cheers!
