Black Cream Micro Soil

Day 81: I chopped the plant today. Cut the main branches off and separated them. I strung most of the buds up on clothes hangers in my tent, using some pipe cleaners to keep them in place. Will likely change these to pegs during the drying cycle but I didn't have any to hand. What buds wouldn't fit on the hangers have gone into brown paper bags. I used this method last time to dry some popcorn buds and it worked amazingly well, so I'm trying it with premium buds this time to see how it works on them. Very convenient way to dry so hopefully it works out. I trimmed down the main cola into individual buds as there were so many crowding one another I was concerned about mold. Should be ok but will keep an eye on them over the next week as they dry up. Once the branches on hangers are mostly dry they too will receive the brown bag treatment before being jarred up. All buds in bags will be rotated every 12-24 hours to ensure even drying. The temps and humidity in the tent are around 21c and ~60%, with a small fan coming on every few hours to move air around and my extraction/carbon filter running constantly. Lights off always. I'll check in a few days and see how they're doing. Drying update: Been hanging/bagged for about 5 days now. Environment pretty stable at 20c/55%RH. The hanging buds are getting there, I'll likely bag them up tomorrow before they get too dry on the hangers. The buds in the bags are doing great too, no signs of mold and drying a bit slower than the hanging buds - I assume because they are not subject to the circulating fan which comes on every couple of hours. All looking good so far. I've been pinching a few tasters here and there.. very hard to keep away. Update: okay, most of the buds that were hanging have now been bagged. There is one large cola still hanging, it has a chunky stem so taking a bit longer to dry. I'll bag that up soon and the rest will go into jars in a few days. Can't wait to see what weight we ended up with, I'm guessing about 28g.. minus a few samples here and there. Starting to lose the chlorophyll smell and getting it's own distinct pong. Update: so they are all trimmed and jarred now. Ended up with just over 31g, plus a few samples here and there so I'll round up to 34. The buds which were hanging dried a little bit faster than those put straight into bags. The immediately bagged buds are already picking up an amazing scent, and are sticky to the touch. The smell is quite Kush-like, a bit peppery, a bit sweet anise. So complex. The colours are impossible to get an authentic photograph of - you will have to grow this strain yourself to truly appreciate it. I'm very happy with this harvest. I look forward to my next grow already, not sure which @Sweet_seeds strain to try next. I have another Black Cream seed but I think I'd like to try something else for the next one.. Maybe Cream Mandarine. I'll have a diary up and running in a few weeks once I'm settled in my new living arrangement. Thanks to everyone for following along from seed to harvest. Good luck with your grows!
