New Grower First ever grow with what I have on hand

[Deleted Grower A]

Thats cool I would just make sure you keep track of your trichs so they don't get too amber on your main cola if your not doing staged which I totally get and personal preference the top could get too ripe the lower tops ambers will be a bit behind your tops ambers if your doing a regular harvest.

Yes. I wasn't going to if this grow went well but I didn't get through it with a healthy plant so I'll do a journal for my next grow in case I need help.

I need to accomplish my goal before I quit documenting.

Hey Time, I can't tell you how helpful having a successful Grow journal has been for my own reference. I constantly go back and check how conditions were in the cabinet at similar points of growth. I use the thread marks I set up to see when I topped, defoliation, etc. I am always looking for a helping hand, but I find my biggest helpers are my journals. I am the only one with my location, grow equipment and lighting combination, and situation. So my own successes, and eventual failures are huge for the future grows.

Keep journaling bro!

High time! Sorry I been running ragged, just got caught up. I think you’re doing great on your grow! Gotta have a few hiccups in the first grow, it just happens. Poor Iriee - massive root rot on his first grow, then the plant goes 130 days puts out 7 oz. Me? I still can’t believe I kept them alive past the first 30 days. Your lady is recovering nicely and she’s gonna give you some fine bud. I’m excited to see!

Thanks @davisgirl . Grow and learn, that's what these first grows are for. :smoking:

Nothing new for my girl to report so I'll just stick these random side bud pictures here.

Astonishing, really is. I love seeing photos like this. Super frosty. I was going to just go with mephisto next purchase but you are making it harder and harder to not get a 3 pack of these too lol.

I don't have a humidifier so the bud will dry too fast.

The general rule for drying the flowers, goes a bit like this;

1 day for every 10% of relative humidity, in the room you are going to dry the flowers in. Then add one day to that total...... = you got a room RH of 45% so 4.5 days add one day = 5.5 days at 24-26c............

get yourself a few 62%RH "regulator packs "Boveda 62% Paks", put 2no in a 500ml " wide neck, screw top, glass "Kilner Jar".................

wide neck, because you need to get a slim "Hygrometer" that will go in the kilner jar. So you can check the RH of a sample of bud, in a the jar, before you put the whole harvest in the jars, for the cure........... that way, defiantly avoid white bud mold in the jar, if to wet when jarred......... you can loose the whole harvest at the last hurdle, "The Cure"............. or "De-carboxylation".............. this is where the terps come to the fore, and the THCv converts to THC.................... cure = de-carboxylation.................... around 10-14 days at RH62% locked down in the jar with 2no Boveda packs to regulate RH in the kilner jar during the cure................ being glass kilner no smell can diffuse out..............

@AutoLowRyder looking up the boveda packs they sound great. Couple questions. Are they reusable? How long do they last? And do you leave them In the jar the entire cure? Also what size packs are recommended for quart size jars says I guess close to 950ml jar? Thanks

They last around 1-2 harvests, that's active jar life of 200 days... so are reusable for 2 cures

They tend to take on water/moisture, if bud is above 62%RH when you jar it for the de-carb..... but take time to empart, dispatch the moisture, if you jar an over dryed bud, it will re=hydrate it, (Handy!).......

Once your hygrometer, on the bud sample RH check, locked down in the jar, for just an hour, will give you the bud RH...... Once your hygrometer says 60 or as low as 55%RH............ on your sample test, you can then lock down the jar with 2no in 1 500ml kilner, or 3no in a 950ml kilner........... and leave them in the jar, for cure, and post cure............. as the Boveda pack will maintain the perfect smoking humidity, so no harsh throat, smooth smoking, if you smoke blunt, or with tobaco............. it will be very smoothe to smoke.

If you have flushed the plants, during the last 10 days of the grow, with pure water RO, or just zero nute water you have been using to feed............. this dramatically reduces the chems in the flowers, pre harvest, therefore, reduces harshness on combustion................ a very smoothe smokeing experience.

I use a vape pen, which i put 1ml of my own BHO extraction, made into "Full Melt" BHO vape juice at a ratio of 1g BHO to 2ml of wax liquidizer PEG400, like EJMix yea.................. the BHO vape liquid is 5 times stronger than any combustion or blunt............... as it is a half oz of green, reduced to 3.8g of pure trichome extract, made up to the 2:1 ratio, so 4 pulls on the vape pen is a king skin blunt, taken in, in 4 pulls of a vape...... it is easy to get a puff hangover !!!............. 8 pulls dose me all evening !! and no nicotine. I also use a zero mg nicotine normal Vg/Pg vape, post canna vape pen use............ ALR
