New Grower First Grow - ILGM Blueberry - Indoor

[Bruce Campbell]

- Still just random scattered ambers on Briscoe. I'll let him go until Sunday.



- Ashley is the one with the bamboo-teepee I've been training the colas around. He's starting to foxtail a bit - maybe because it was a bit warmer this week, which kept the room/tent warmer. Other than that, looks like he's turning into a straight-up wall of nugs...

 

[Bruce Campbell]

- Here's what Briscoe looked like this morning.



- Reasonably amber-enough for me. I'll compare against Ashley and Bubba to figure out what I prefer for next grows.



- And...here's how he looks now.



Still need to finish trimming the smaller popcorn buds. Colas will air dry 70F / 55%-60% RH. Popcorns will bag dry in same room. Larf and sugars will fridge dry. Other trim will air dry in tray. Grove bags for final cure/storage.

Edit:

Final wet weights:

Colas & Stalks - Hanging / Air - 16.9 oz = 479 g
Popcorn - Bagged / Air - 1.12 oz = 31.7 g
Larf - Bagged / Fridge - 3.03 oz = 86.0 g
Sugar Leaves - Tray / Air - 1.33 oz = 37.7 g
Other Leaves - Tray / Fridge - 0.44 oz = 12.6 g

be sure to tag me with final dry weight, with picz if possible ppp

- Ashley (#1)



- Bubba (#4)

- Just starting to find ambers on leaves, so maybe 1-3 more weeks on these guys. Looks like they're enjoying the extra space, though.

- Dry for Briscoe is going well. Will probably jar check the hanging colas and bagged nugs on Friday.

 

[Bruce Campbell]

- Bubba (#4) is starting to fall over mid-cola. Trichs not quite ready yet, so need to decide between chopping him on Sunday, trying to find time during the week, or trying to let him go until next weekend.



- Ashley's not too far behind. Briscoe's chop took up almost all the space I had for drying, so either need to re-jigger my dry space or stagger the chops.

- Briscoe's hang still needs a few more days to dry before grove bags, but I should have final weights by Sunday.

How did you get them to supercrop themselves?

Thx @MikaelAndréasSöderberg !

IKR? Had a few warmer days the past two weeks. I think the higher temps told them both to grow a bit more. You can see some extra growth / start of foxtails on Ashley. On Bubba, I think that combined with "already drooping" and turned into "let's start growin' sideways!".

I'm gonna call it for the Briscoe dry.

Technically, larf and other leaves are still fridge drying. I've been microwaving the larf to smoke as needed, and the leaves will eventually get ground up for shake joints. So, I'll just estimate their dry weight based on the air dry results. Final dry weight for the air dry sugar leaves was 33% of the initial weight weight, so I'll use that for the larf and other leaves.

The buds are in their final grove bags. Moisture / bag RH looks good enough and within range of what the bags can handle without needing burping. Total dry time was about 5 1/2 days at 70F / 55-60% RH, although I could maybe have bagged a bit sooner.

Overall, buds seem a bit light and airy compared to the commercial bud I'm used to - but it has been quite some time. Could also be partly due to me being a lazy trimmer and the fact that I'm used to less hairs remaining after commercial processing. But, it certainly does the job. Plus, I find myself licking my fingers after every time I handle a bud...

Final dry weights:

Buds - 95.75 g (dry)
Larf - 86.01 (wet) x (33%) = 28.3 g (dry)
Sugar Leaves & Other Trim = 12.42 (dry) + 12.56 (wet) x 33% = 16.5 g (dry)
Total = 140.6 g (dry)
