OK, so no pictures for this Update.
But I thought some of you would like a little after harvest report.
After cutting all the branches in two batches, the lower & side branches taken on 4/9, the top bud & her sisters taken on 4/13
Total wet weight of buds was 16.4 oz
Total dry weight is 5.3 oz, may lose a little more weight during cure, but i was very pleasantly surprised.
Basically took 8 quart mason jars to hold the dry bud.
The temp in my box was a bit high and humidity was a little on the low side, so they got to "dry" fairly quick.
They are all jar'd up now, and the hygrometer reading has gone from 71 down to 69 with regular burping.
So I guess they are approaching the curing stage.
There is still a touch of hay smell when the jar is opened, but the smell that lingers and comes out when you handle the bud is a mix between pinesol and stank with the pinesol being the stronger scent and the stank being a sort of aftersmell.
A modest 5-6 hits of the first lower harvest buds gives a pleasant effect, certainly not couch lock but nice for relaxing before bed. However the effect during the day when I am active is sort of racey thoughts.
I am waiting for a few more days before I try the second upper harvested buds. I am curious as to how much difference I will be able to notice.
I will probably give one more update after I try the second batch.
Thanks for looking!
