That looks like a fun run idea. I should do something like that someday. I also have a long “to do list” for freebies.
cheers

My Mango Smile is now stable 10 days into cure and will be heat sealed for another month or so in Grove bag.

I’m curious about long term storage in Grove bags. What’s the longest you’ve stored in them with good results, would you say?

Now that I do a lot of pressing of rosin, my flower doesn't make it as long as it used to. The stuff I pressed today was some of oldest in bulk Grove bags and it was around 90 days old. I used to keep a small sample of every plant I grew in a Grove bag and busted out year later. It was good but they were on the low side of RH you'd want . Dry but not crumbling and some slight signs oxidation due to age with tint or hue of color. Still very enjoyable but not my ideal goal. I realized that I am after the 45-120 day cure range for my bud preferences. Environment matters for sure! My office is about 25% RH right now so any bud left out or opened up is losing moisture pretty rapidly. I heat seal now and I am sure that helps. Those one year experiments were just using built in zip lock but they were left alone the entire time in dark cool place.

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks!

Hey all,

It's been slow going with this big tent tied up and my smaller tents got a monster going long. But I did pop 4 beans, one a Mephisto and my most anticipated strain I've wanted since finding their catalog. Chemdogging is above ground in a 1 gallon pot of soil. She is on day 4 or 5 right now. Not much to report, You have seen a sprout before

Quick user note:
Having been vaping through a lot of flower rosin over last couple months, I pulled out the next bag to crush the other day. It was Mephisto Pink Panama. When I grew this one I was really taken back by its structure and unusual bud formations. I went to site and it matched up with what they showed and alleviated any concerns lol. She was incredibly fast, 62 days from sprout. Fastest I have ever grown by a couple days best my recollection. I pulled her with all cloudy, very little clear and very little amber. She is a Sativa so I wanted her ripe but not overripe.

So crushed up 3 -2" bags of flower on my Nugsmasher Mini. (Used 190/3 min/90 Micron) and yield at time of press seemed well. It ended up overflowing the container I set out to fill and into another. Thinking nothing of it I was happy with my return and set down in living room with my E-rig of choice that night and fired up Netflix and took a couple fat dabs. What first struck me was the incredible taste. I suck at taste and smells and it sucks that my wife will not take dabs anymore (lol tale for another day) because the first thing I wanted to do after first hit was for someone else to taste it. It was spectacular. It was floral, spicy, complex and full. A real stand out in taste for my grow and rosin pressing experience.

The next thing that struck me was the fact I never ever must have pressed a sativa before LMAO. Honestly a majority of my flower has had fairly similar effects with very few stand outs and I usually will just dab throughout the day switching between jars just for taste. I was sitting there after thinking about how good those dabs tasted and wish I had someone else to try it to wondering why my heart was starting to pound out of my chest lol Before I knew it I had this weird mental clarity, it was 9 pm and I was wide awake. I remember thinking I felt more awake than I do when I wake up, more than after coffee or throughout the day for that matter lol I felt a really rare good feeling awake! The first thing that came to mind was I needed to go get something else to dab on, my ass had to get to sleep and get up early for work lol. The second thing I realized is what a stand out that silicone jar of rosin was. I enjoy it now right when I get home from work but lay off it about 5-6 PM

In other news:
My micro grow experiment has entered the curing phase. I had this picture of what I could get done with the edges of the tent and it ended up being unrealistic and I came close to scrapping project. A mixture of not enough light in germination chamber causing lankiness, my first ever bout of fungus gnats from reusing soil and some old organic amendments, an a plant just exploding and taking over entire tent caused those poor plants to live in the shade. In the end I pulled 6 down for harvest. Yields ranged from a small cone to a king sized King Palm. They got trimmed up today and put into grove bags. In 6 weeks I will have a mini Freebie Cannabis cup lol

I will get a picture of the Chemdogging no matter how uneventful in first weeks next time I am in the tent. My next pop from Mephisto collection will likely be White Cream, Sour Crack or Grape Crinkle off the top of head. I am back to growing 1 gallon pots in one tent and will try to start staggering to get more frequent rotation going again.

I'm glad somebody else had the same reaction to Pink Panama as I did. When she first started flowering I was dumbfounded. I was looking up photographs of the strain on line just to make sure I didn't have some weird mutation.

Yes she is definitely unique!!
