Indoor Nympho - Cruella

[hope2grow]

Solos are great fun m8. I've done quite a few over the years. Big plants I love but I don't have the patience or space really for them.. once I clear my 3 bourbon Kush out I'll be back to 1/2/3 litre pots in a SoG style in a tent. I've yet to find what suits me really despite the fact that ive been growing for like nearly 10 years I'm sure. I'm hoping small pot sogs will be where I stop searching.

The final Trichome watch of 2021 continues.

Day 85 - Cruella
I think i might feed her one more time before harvest. The soil should be ready tomorrow and i would guess that will carry it 3 or 4 days.

Water in= pH6.2, EC 1.9, PPM 900
Run off = pH 6.6, EC 1.8, PPM 880

Day 90 - Jack Herer
I skipped watering today and will let the cup dry out before i put her into the dark tent tomorrow night.

Train kept a roll'n all night long but definetly coming up to her stop.

Day 86 - Cruella
Last feed today. Once the pot dries out a bit, ill send her to the curing tent. Trichomes are just about there for this harvest. Looking forward to some new flavors.

Water in= pH6.2, EC 2.0, PPM 1000

Day 91 - Jack Herer
These are more of the trichome colors i was looking for. Crazy the change in just 1 day. Kind of why these posts are every day. I just wanted to document the pace of progression. Well, into the darkness tomorrow. Im struggling a bit with low humidity. You can see that a couple of the trichome heads have burst. Not a good thing. Ill have to figure out how to raise the rH slightly in the cure tent. I only need a few %. Might just try and use a wet towel.

Day 90 - Cruella
Still chugging along and waiting for some amber. The pot is still pretty heavy after her last watering so im guessing she is about done drinking. I used the LST strings to spread the main branches out a bit to get some air flow and light down deep. I'm thinking i will put her into the curing tent over the weekend. I guess I'll be doing some holiday tree trimming. Hopefully i can get some cured up for New Years!

Day 95 - Jack Herer
Chopped and hanging in the curing tent. I was going to wait a bit longer but im ready, lol

Run me through your curing tent @DDubs ...... keen to know what you do, why and for how long.
I used my grow tent to dry my last run (not someting I often do), and had a portable dehumidifier outside the tent which I adapted so that I could duct the outgoing dehumidified air into the tent, and had very light extraction on the tent to keep slightly negative pressure.

I dunno if what I did was right, but it worked really well for me. I was worried I'd over dry them, or do it too quickly, but I went gradually down in RH settings (10% at a time till I got to 55%) rather than cranking it straight down to 35% ha ha.

But that was for me to dry the bud, which I would then jar with Bovedas for a month's curing..... and you say you're curing in your tent, so that's what I wanna know!

Nice and shiny in there too!!!

I guess im misusing the term curing. More like what you do, i am using this tent for drying before throwing them into jars. I just got this tent so this is my first try in here. I just ran some flexy duct from one to the other and left a vent hole open for fresh air There is a dehumidifier in there but it is so dry i actually need to slightly humidify the space. I use wet paper towles which brought it up to 56%rh. We'll see. I hope to figure it out before Cruella comes down. In the past i just shut my grow tent down and let them do there thing with the extractor fan on. I brown bag most buds but tried to hang some up on a line to see if there is a diffence. I noticed that the hung buds were stickier but the brown bag buds stayed 'wet' longer. I dont notice a taste difference. Ill have to try a blind taste test. I was thinking if buying some of those curing bags to see what that is about.

Day 94 - Cruella
Still going. Some more cloudy trichs with a couple ambers coming through. I decided to let her keep going so i fed her again last night. I think i will let her go another week or so. Trichs are finally spreading to the sugar leaves and the buds are really bulking up.

Day -5 - Jack Herer
Chopped and hanging in the finishing tent at 52%-60% rH. A couple more days and i will put everything into a jar for curing. I bought some Grove bags but shipping is funky right now. Im hoping they come sooner verses later.

She's looking tasty brother!!

Hell, I'd chop her now! Great buds!
