Photoperiod Sleazy goes on another Cannaventure!

Definitely better than the plants growing into the lights! I think as long as the stem isn't too woody you can do it. Once the stem is real tough, you might snap the head off and accidentally top it...

That definitely did NOT happen last week.. Nope.. I never did that.. Ever... (crying and swearing at the same time).
Learning curve, and I always seem to learn the hard way, ahhhhh life...

Is tricky for sure to get a good dry and cure. I think for my next harvest I'm going to try the brown bag drying method since it's so dry where I live. It's a stickied post here somewhere and people really seem to like it when they try it. It's supposed to preserve a lot of flavors and smells.

I think autos just don't stink as much though. I did have a few autos that really stank, but it's less common it seems like.

I started drying/curing that way after reading that thread, done a few crops like that now and I'll never go back to any other way. No grass clippings smell, and it starts the cure while it dries. I picked up some of those mini hygrometers off Amazon, and throw them in the jars as I sometimes jar up too fast. If so, into the bag they go for half a day or as needed, and back in the jars. Love Boveda or similar products too once the ideal 62% has been reached. Those paper yard waste bags are great, I cut them in half as they are too tall but I can flip them around to all sides so the damp paper can dry. This is my table right now :smoking: Sorry 'bout the French, Canada EH? :crying: And I also shop at Value Village sometimes, damn pictures sure tell a lot. I always look at what's in the background of peoples pics, especially what is on their computer screen tabs if it is a screenshot :eyebrows::eyebrows:

@RivetGrrl but do you buy kraft dinner at value village?? Lolol but what if you want macaroni and cheese for lunch? Is it still kraft dinner? Or is it kraft lunch? Dunno why it cracked me up so much to find out yall call it that, but it kills me...

So you put hygrometers in the jars, and if the humidity is above a certain point you put them back in the bags?

Dude don't worry about snapping off a top... I have snapped many plants doing LST.. Very bad feeling... I do think the ticket with super cropping is going slow and making sure the stem is pinchable, but I'm learning just like you so I dunno.

Fuck KD, I buy the No Name crap at the Dollar store :crying: (OK kidding), what do you guys call it down there? Mac 'n Cheese right? Maybe it can be Kraft Breakfast too.. Ohhhhhh bacon and tomato mixed in actually is making me hungry lolol

Yes, sometimes the buds feel close, but then they shoot up too high humidity wise. So I dry them longer in the bags then back into the jars. It can be a quick process in a dry environment so you really have to watch them. I love Boveda cause it is easy to over dry and it corrects a lot. Plus easy to cure with them and a hygrometer. I got 4 for $20, then found square ones at 5 for $20 but they are way off. Which is fine as I add the lost % to them. Bad if you go off them alone tho, so they aren't perfect but better than nada.

I am starting to learn the feel of it, but one strain the stems are really hollow and it split the epidermis. So far so good, I left them alone and they are healing. The one cola I broke, since the plant was topped it was one of the lower ones (but still would have been a nice size) didn't even snap off until later, but I was too aggressive with her.

Yup mac n cheese hahaha. [emoji23][emoji23]

So how do you know the buds are probably ready to jar? And then when you jar them, what humidity is too high?

I feel them for weight, and how damp they are. I used to be paranoid about mold so they ended up popcorn fart dry. Never had mold, so I relaxed and I now tend to put them in a bit early. Sometimes I forget to check and the next morning I have had 90% humidity in the jar :yoinks:
I end up with anywhere from 55-65% and the Boveda takes care of that, I am guessing if the meters were 100% accurate it would be closer to 62% (the Boveda % you want). Then I just burp them a couple times a day until I forget (about a week before I figure they are good) then it's when I remember :smoking:

Sorry Sleazyb if we are being annoying in your thread I can move it over to Animatey's. Don't wanna thread jack again!
 
You guys aint thread jacking lol. Im happy to have some friends lol. I've had some pretty boring journals before lol

Well I did a little tent maintenance. I moved the 4in inline fan to the outside and top of the tent. This bought me 4 more inches of light room bye moving the fan. I also used zip ties to hold the lights . this also gives me another 3 inches of light room in case of emergency. I'll get a pic up later when the girls wake up. Oh yeah I just put 4 aventus og in dirt from Cannaventures new drop. Rusty said it's his best strain in years. I still haven't got the veg tent up. It will be in the next day or 2. I'm trying to take my time and get it right. It's taking alot of work to run another tent 8 ft away. Have a good day stoners. I'll get pics up soon
