Today was day 7 since harvest ... Oddly enough I ran into a snag early on the 3rd day of drying ... Even though I did not have any moving air the outside of the buds began to feel too dry too soon ... so I jarred them for about 18 hrs which allowed the inner moisture to permeate the outer buds leaving them feeling softer and fresher ... after 18 hrs the jars were reading about 72% so I removed the buds from the jars and arranged them on plates w/ limited ventilation ... I was looking to slow down the drying w/o cutting off all circulation ... so for the past 2 days I've been checking rh and opening the jars ... basically the breathing process ... I now have 62% Boveda's in place and I'm opening the jars for about an hour at a time every 4-6 hrs ... If I had let it go one more day w/o the initial jarring I think I would have damaged the crop by going below 55% on the outer buds ... as it is they are losing the fresh cut lawn smell and starting to smell like weed ... dry weight 45.2 gm the buds lost a lot of density in drying.
Oh hell yeah dude!! Almost 2oz from a stunted plant is pretty damn good if you ask me!!!! Ley me know if you need help "testing" your project.. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for science!!!
Hi there Chester! Long time no see. Just getting back to the boards after a long stint on my work project. Looks like you did ok without me Great job getting so much from the tropical climate you were working with. I am impressed as always with your work. What is up for you next?
:kusht:
Good to see you again Spiker ... next I'll plant an auto Blue Mystic indoors at my friend's house in NY ... that should be happening about the first of October. I'll babysit that plant for about 4 weeks and then it's back to Florida for another grow in the same space I just finished in. The temps will be much lower and I expect those plants to be my best ever due to a couple 'new to me' grow techniques I plan on trying ... how's your Blue Mystic now that it's had time for a proper cure ?
My blue mystic is cured to perfection. It looks great, smells great and smokes great! Moved it all into my new EX-Large Cvault yesterday. I feel like i should give you half for all of the help you gave me ! Here's the best I can do....
Half the fun of growing is getting involved in other peoples grows ... if I'm ever in town you can smoke me up ... Beautiful Bud and well rolled joints ... great pic ...
