New Grower Red Strawberry Banana

The ziplock works well for me, as I've got a bunch of 1oz bags of different varieties that I dip into regularly. If I had several bags of the same variety I would leave one open and heat seal the rest personally. My only gripe with them is you've got to be careful opening the zip, hubby yanked it open the first time he opened one and it pulled the zip closure off one side of the bag

Haha i will have to be careful with them then i’m quite curious how it will go. I’ll get bunch of 1oz bags too, they will come handy in the next grows lol

Tbh next order I'll probably get more of the one oz and then the next size up and maybe the size above that. I've had a few that have needed 2 of the one oz bags.

So i chopped them at day 88. Some buds are quite big, there’s air circulation in the tent but some branches are very close to each other, is it okay? Temps are 18C(64F) and humidity is around 65%. My entire house smells just because i had the plants out of tent for half an hour lol should my exhaust fan work on higher revs now or keep air exchange to minimum with air circulation inside?

Temp and Rh seem good for drying. I've never dried upside down on a whole plant. On whole plants. I dry upright with her stuck into a foam base. and stuck in a cardboard box. Sugar leaves stand out better and with your girls, the plant will be more open.
I'm still a newb, but as long as I maintained the proper temps and humidity, I haven't needed air exchange or circulation in any method I've used. If you had too high Rh, you could adjust with the exhaust fan, keeping in mind the lung room temp and humidity. I think you're fine with some circ in the tent, but I don't think it's a requirement.
Good Luck! It's a critical time. Just pay attention.

Day 5 of drying today, stems still bends instead of snapping, buds seems to be dry outside and wet inside. I’m thinking to separate each branch and let them dry that way for couple more days. Also, hay smell dominates now but i’ve read its perfectly normal and the smell will be gone after trimming and full drying. Just got my Grove Bags, tbh the way it feels to touch, it seems to be even worse quality than fake cali packs but i still believe it does the job perfectly also bought 110microns screen, about 20x times cheaper than ‘og’ trim tray lol
as for the questions:
do i have to sweat out the buds before curing?
trim when it’s fully dry and ready to jar or trim a day or two before that?
thanks!

Well done mate, they look great

9 days of whole plant dry, after trimming(there wasn’t much to trim tbh everything frosty) that’s the results:
38g of Purple one
The other two both 50g
138g in total
everything is really frosty, smell is nice sweet bit of grapes maybe, but it needs to be cured for the flavour. biggest bud from top weighs 7.3g don’t have photos though as i couldn’t be bothered with continuously taking off the gloves and taking photo to not spread sticky trichomes everywhere lol that was fun first grow, i realised it’s more of a math than actual botanic skills and lots of patience. can’t wait to start another seeds, still didn’t decide which ones though lol watermelon skittlez maybe

That girl was super purple. They look delicious. My biggest cola weighed almost 23g wet. I'd be happy if it weighed over a quarter. Well done mate
