New Grower Gratefully green husband

Yup, organic Castile is the one. There’s a few varieties to what it’s made with, but no animal fat is basically the jist and olive oil is always a feature. I sell a Castile soap in my shop and it’s made from olive and coconut oil.
Appreciate it, I will look into it. :pass:
 
Results for the Fast Buds West Coast OG. She was harvested at 15 inches on day 76. I hung her to dry in a room with an average temperature of 70 F and 60% RH for 4 days. After a trim she was placed in a jar with a hygrometer overnight. She came in at 70%. The buds were air dried for 30 minutes and placed back in the jar. After a few hours RH was 68%. I have been repeating the process until it is now at 64%. I placed a 62% Boveda in the jar and I am still drying to 62% and airing jar periodically. As of right now the current dry weight is 21 grams. I actually thought it would come in at 14 grams, so I was pleasantly surprised.The cure begins.

This stuff STINKS. :gassy1:I am far from a connoisseur of the different smells of cannabis. I have a horrible sense of smell and couldn't tell the difference between skunk and diesel or any other descriptive word you want to give to a particular strain. But this stuff smells offensive if sniffed longingly. Thankfully its taste is better than its smell. I sampled a 1/2 gm :smokeit: and found the flavor to be complex and hard to describe. I hope the smell will mellow as it cures, The only description I would guess it to be is "Diesel". The high was a creeper but not really. You know how your anticipating something and then it doesn't happen like you anticipate. At first I was like, bummer, not what I was expecting. Couple more tokes. Hmmmm, bummer. Couple minutes later...……. find yourself thinkin' stupid shit because your mind just went on a journey to the center..... whoa shitttttt…. :poof: Cool! Time to go to work. :smiley1:

A couple more weeks of burping and we'll try 'em again.
Thanks for taking the time. Questions and comments are always welcome.
 
Haha, good work bro! Gotta love the slow creeper, or hate it! I’m consistently over stoning before I even know it!
So you only dried for 4 days? I trimmed all accessible fan leaves but left the rest, and dried for 7/8 days, until stems were snapping not bending. 4 days seems a little short to me, could be why the smoke is a little harsher if that’s what you meant. Cure totally changes everything, mines been in jars for about 3 weeks now, been smoking it since harvest though, but finding as time goes on it’s only getting better!
Enjoy bro!
 
Nice work, enjoy the harvest.

Agree. Nice work. The cure will make it smell and taste as the strain intended. I thought curing was overstated until I cured my first harvest. As Wombat said, it gets better, smoother, and tastier each week of the cure. Now, I view curing as just as important as growing itself.

Not harsh at all, very smooth. 4 days is all, these are small buds. I hung 'em 'til just before snapping. As a matter of fact I over dried 'em last night and left 'em out to long and now they are at 59% RH even with a 62% Boveda. It's all good though, just don't want 'em any drier.
 
Nice job! Fine lookin buds:slap:
Thanks @wes :pass:I don't think our grows are too far apart in age and yours should start fattening up as they finish :vibe: My next line-up in a week or two is going to be 9 plants total, all FastBuds, 6 x Green Crack, 1 x Tangie'matic and 2 x West Coast OG :shooty:
