Ok so I know quite a bit more about drying than I did - not a high bar!
Yes I'd be drying in the tent I'm growing in, but have other options if that didn't provide enough space. I like the idea of setting up the tent environment to be the best it can be for growing and then switching gears to make it the best it can be for drying in terms of humidity levels. That alone makes me lean towards growing three or four plants at the same time, assuming they'll fit.
One question, after drying, the curing process is described as making for better taste, aroma etc. but since most of a harvest will go directly to being decarboxylated and then into cold ethanol extraction, is the curing process even necessary?
Assuming all goes well, then I'd anticipate making as much tincture as possible from about 90% and curing the remaining 10% - once in tincture form my understanding is that it can be safely stored in a fridge pretty much indefinitely.
My goal is that, for the first time in her life, my wife feels totally secure in having as much pain relief available as she wants. As things stand she's using about one ounce every three to four weeks, but I suspect she's minimising her usage to keep the costs down.
So what would be reasonable to expect to get in terms of dry weight bud from a single plant of OG Kush Auto? Again assuming I don't totally cock things up and get just an 'OK' result?
With even a very rough idea of those numbers I'll have a better idea of what I need to do.
Thanks to everyone again! This forum has finally ended months of anxiety and worry in about 24 hours!! I can't thank you enough!
