Purple Quest Candidate #7

Hey everyone :) Every story need it's end.... This grow been started in August. It's been 4 months now... Lot of expectations, lot of hope.... Some fun with "The Ugly".... This diary is now almost over... 2021 too. So... EVERYONE (even you, who read me!), Happy new year, Happy new harvests, Happy new smokes 💜 FROM HARVEST, TO DRYING ROOM ---------------------------------------- 5 days after my last update, I decided to harvest the plants. They been flushed for something like 10 days, with 2 watering. The second watering was like 30 hours before harvest. They started to smell verry strong, and after some checks at the trichomes, it appear I had a decent amount of amber to harvest! I believe I harvested at the perfect time, on the "smelling peak" 😋 Only "the ugly" haven't been harvested yet. She will need at least 2 more weeks compared to her sisters. But she is definitly fattening well! Drying plants in the tent, light & The Ugly moved outside of the tent. I hanged the full plants, without removing leaves or branches, So I wasn't abble to measure "wet weight". First 24 hours of drying: humidity at 60%, Temp: 18°C. After 24h : 50-55% humidity, Temp : 17°C - 18°C. I would lower temps, but I just can't. PURPLE QUEST... IS IT OVER? -------------------------------- If you follow my diary since multiples week, you already know the answer. No, this strain isn't what I'm looking. This 7th attempt is a failure regarding my Purple Quest, but It's a success for me who love good tasting weed more than everything else. Buds are still drying. They will need like one more week and some trimming, before first smoke review. But the smell is so far from what I'm looking for. I'm searching for something more floral. I doubt this strong Sweet and fresh applejuice smell could turn into something close of my expected "Purple". I'll update this diary with effect/taste description as soon as I can! It will probably need something like another week of drying. I usually do a smoke review after the trimming, before the curing. And I update my review after 1 month curing. TRIMING UPDATE : After 16 days of drying, I trimmed all the buds. I will update total weight soon. In jar, curring! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Thanks for reading, during thoses 4 months! Thanks for all your feedbacks, and kind words that boosted my motivation :) I'll start a new diary verry soon. I just need to get that tent emptied of thoses drying buds ^^ 20 plants in 1gallon pots, 8 genetics (only autos !). It's gonna be CRAZY !! Once again, Happy new year, and Happy smokes :) See you soon <3 Purpleworship 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Plants fully hanged, that's why I wasn't abble to provide wet weight. Drying started at 60% humidity for the 485 first hours, and was arround 55% for the rest of the drying. Took 17 days. I got arround 200g of solids and nice buds, the rest will be used with the trim, to make hash. I'll update the diary with pictures and details regarding hash production ^^ For now, after curring for 2 weeks, the taste is still difficult to describe. Not what I expected. At first, I taste caramel, and then a kind of pink lemonade taste, with the sour and sweet aspect, but without "lemon" taste.
