DRY TIME 0 DAYS and 1 HOUR: She went into the dry tent very wet. 75% humidity is high with 75 degrees F. Will wait to see if maybe the sensor in there is too low and close to the plant. Otherwise, I'll kick in the dehumidifier and try to wrangle her down under 70% RH. Fan setting is '1' and will stay there throughout the dry, At that setting, the fan is pulling 20 cubic feet per minute of air, which means all the air in my 12 cubic foot tent is replaced more than once per minute. Good enough. DRY TIME 5 Days 11 HRS: Okay, yes that's a big jump in time. I've been very busy, and my favorite NBA team is in the playoffs. Priorities can certainly get in the way of a grow. But I have been keeping vigilant of the dry process. Since the last update, I was able to wrangle down the humidity in the tent by turning on the dehumidifier. But interestingly, the tent stayed with high humidity close to 70% until late Day 4 when RH moderated to about 65%, despite local RH being quite dry the last week (35%). Remarkably, I never had to use the big humidifier for several days - the plant was humidifying the tent by herself. This morning, the tent had gotten down to 58% so I turned on the big humidifier for the first time. Got it up to 73F with 64% RH. So it has been a fairly "wet" dry so far. I expected this to be a fairly long dry as a result of these findings. So I was a little surprised how far we had gotten when I opened the tent for the first time about an hour ago. A branch check led to me to conclude, 'Almost there - but not yet.' The branch was both flexible and snappy at the same time. I'd like more of a snap feel to the branch before I start trim jail. There was a strong grassy smell in the tent but I think that is fairly normal at this stage. Maybe I'm wrong. But I expect jail to begin either tomorrow or the day after (Day 6 or 7), DRY TIME 6 DAYS 14 HOURS: Just checked the tent and I found what I was looking for. I bent one of the thinner branches and it was woody to the touch (woodier than the day prior), but when I bent the branch it didn't snap. It held together. This, to me, indicates that most of the outer layers of the branch are dry already but that there is still a moist center to the branch. I'm guessing this is the right feel. We'll see. See ya when I get out on parole!! 🙄 TWENTY MINUTES LATER: She's not ready. She's still too wet, I tried cutting off leaves and realized that they normally just fall off to some extent when I'm trimming. All the leaves were still clinging to the bud. That means those buds and leaves are still wet. I put all the branches back in the tent. One more day. (at least). DRY TIME 8 DAYS 11 HOURS: I checked the buds yesterday and they were still too wet, but when I checked now they felt ready. Here we go!

Indie this time. Wasn't in a reggae dub mood today, as usual with my trim jails. I was in an indie mood. I listened to indie during the whole trim, which this time lasted only 8 hours. She wasn't very leafy which is a big plus for this strain. The smell of this plant was SO strong, which was reassuring because I think it meant the dry went very well, which was my longest at over 8 days. I think I learned this dry/cure time that you CAN go to about 70% RH in the first few days, which helps to elongate the dry. I want to make a point here. Drying is just the first phase of curing, when you think about it. So a good RH to have in your tent is 60%-70% because that's where you'd cure them. I started adopting this logic a few grows ago with good results. And to control the RH well, one should invest in a good big humidifier AND a good big dehumidifier. So she came in at 160 grams or 5.644 ounces, my second largest grow. Not including only 9 grams larf. Very happy with these results. It will be many many months before I get to try her though. Well, that concludes another grow! Thanks to all those who followed and liked this grow. I was promoted to Master level during this grow, so those likes were HUGE for me. Thanks again. And to all those who wrote me comments of support and praise, thank youso much for your kindness and inspiration. If it wasn't for you guys, I might not try as hard. Nice having some friends in your corner. 😄 I wish you all the best with your grows. Til next time! 😊👍
