2 week cure!!
Holy Grail shyt!!!
So after hanging for 6 days final dry and manicue. Monitoring closely
So this is my first girl after FD and current cure....tasted it dried but just to ensure taste....smh
Curing in mason jars from TJ Max and Bovida 62% packs.....1st day of cure gonna go maybe 10 days b4 I can really smoke and make better judgment but pretty impressed.
Got a couple of more flushing and will come later but as of right now wrapping this grow up and will hopefully have the rest in dry by the end of week.
Sunday funday?: Interesting fact.....when I say I write my plans in the coming days on this grow, 9 times out of 10 I'm gonna rush or already have in my mind, visit my plants
and just do it. I chopped 2 of my girls last night after only maybe 2 flush sessions in about 6 days...... I know I'm using coco and the flush is usually 7-0 but i got anxious so
so putting extra care in these last girls to flush appropriately and getting the cleanest smoke possible.
My dry on the first plant was with paper bags but came out the bag a bit early and working on practicing patients with these last girls.
The flush, the dry the cure......I want these to be extra nice since they will hold us through the winter and possibly spring.
Sooooo(i say this way too much) sitting here with a almost empty tent that I cleaned last night for the xmas grow.
Got some 7 gallon pots and thinking of working on some photo, already got one but maybe one more AF grow to get my Christmas Goodies ready for gifting!!!
Thinking get some mason jars and cooking maybe weed cookies and brownies and giving them in some fancy jars!!!!
Sunday night: Got my last plants all super flushed.
A note on flushing... so I put a milk crate in my laundry sink, put a pot on it and superflushed the last of my 1st grow.
They are now sitting in the tent on low lights and getting sprayed until I cut which will probably be Wednesday. Gonna push these nutrients through b4 I cut and dry. Don't think I took enough time with my last girls but getting the whole process down through this 1st grow.
On another note, the Xmas grow is bout to start....got a clean tent with only I photo 3 weeks in. Think these fast flowers can catch that 1 photo.
7gallon pots with lots of vpt and B-2.
and only going with 4 plants....
Look out for the new diary soon.
So I got one more plant to cut and hang.
This is where patience is a must.
My first girl on the dry cure went kind of off and smells chloriphilish...(I make up words). It takes patients and alot of trial & error to get this down so slowed down doing it right. Hang drying in cardboard box the rest of my plants and going slow.
Finally figured out a great dry cure method and have my plants hanging around waiting on the cure and the Volcano Hybrid!!!! Yup since I'm saving so much on weed now might as well
go to the absolute ultimate with my grow experience. With the curing ongoing with this first grow complete looking forward to tasting my terpes.
Update so of drying...still: Been drying my buds and this first plants pretty much ruined with that paper bag dry method so going into cardboard boxes for the final
dry b4 jarring. Got a cardboard box and am monitoring and gently stirring to ensure propper dry b4 curing. As i sift through my nuggets I'm manicuring and trying to
make them look as pretty as possible.
So still drying out just a bit more b4 jar cure. i'm picking up so much info as I go through this first FDC....Paper bags, turkey bags, card board boxes, jars, bovida's......over thinking it a bit
probably and smoked some of my shit even b4 cure. Alright but actually got some D weed just so that I don't start smoking my girls b4 the cure is complete.
So I'm drying and monitoring but i hear with a turkey bag if your buds get a bit too dry, you can fine mist them and throw a pack of Bovida and let cure.
Got some cure bags coming and think this is gonna do the trick as far as getting the cure I want.
NFL Sunday week 3: Left some buds in a box with a heavy duty leaf paper bag to finish drying last night and transferd them back into jars.
My buds are pretty much there but the 2 strains got mixed so have a bunch of hellfire/ Green crack in a pretty big mason jar curing.
Since all this is for personal use not really sweating the mix. This first grow is to just become familiar with the whole process and getting green on the table.
Will be alot more organized with this next grow which has started.๐
So the VH has come and this whip @ 180 cel has got me in a different mode of high. Clear eye's doesn't clear....sleep is so sound....tasty terps!!!
Just a check in: So been curing my buds in jars for the last 2 weeks and manicuring as I go. Curing is working and my buds are starting to look and smell like weed. Grew enough to where I won't even have to touch it for 6 months.
Curing for 6 months I think is gonna bring it out!!!
@Weedseedsexpress
Thanks for the shipping and packaging. So far looking pretty good. Was a bit skeptical with the size of the GC's but germinated great.
Those buds popping up everywhere is a beautiful thing my friend! Looking very healthy! Dude I completely know what you mean feeling overwhelmed trying to train and defoliate, Ive watched so many different ways of doing it and its amazing how some make it look so effortless and natural. It most certainly is not lol. But I think you grow is going amazing man. Your knowledge, passion, and research really shows. As always, I enjoy looking forward to more of your updates man. Good luck on the finish brother! ๐
@Jsammy09, thanks for checking my grow. Training is a bit stressful and I've actually snapped a few branches with the tie downs. Just loosen the string and keep them as close as I can to the main stem. Honestly a don't think she has noticed yet and the nutrition seems like it's still getting to that branch so not really sweating it.
Been watching your grow and think it's awesome!!
Keep ah growing and stay dedicated bro!!
@SmokingDwarf420, Hey thanks for the compliment. I've been thinking about my whole marijuana journey and it has been a very long windy one.
I just feel like I'm at a point where I can really appreciate what this girl has done for me, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ish!!! I'm finally to
a point in my life(emptied the nest and kid's fledged nicely) so just really enjoying the calmness and thought's that go into growing. It really
is a game changer in my life. And the money saved, the secret recipes, the tonic's and tea's, the Volcano eruptions of freshly grown and cured
cannabis from my garden!!! I know exactly what I'm smoke'n!!!! This is the leaf of life!!!!
BRO! They are looking HEALTHY!!! They look like mine did right before that started to stretch and get even fatter! I always enjoy the reads brother, looking awesome man. Im pretty confident your Green Crack is gonna be just as good and more than likely better than what you have now! That one is on the wish list. Im gonna try some mephisto samsquanch OG for my next go. If you ever look at them the hook you up with more seeds than you buy, i bought 7, got 9, then got 7 free seeds of mango smile x grape crinkle. Look forward to more updates buddy!
@Jsammy09, so that was kind of the first one chopped.
Using that 1st 2 get my dry/cure procedure and dry time right.
That first pancake is always that one but but have the rest flushing...all but one.
Trying to get heavier buds so overdrive/ignite/Big budded it one more time.
Paperbag drying but initially folded my bag down. Was holding moisture and buds still and almost immediately fogged my jar, so went back to open bag for an extra day so they can go back in jar a bit dryer. Also using a bigger mason jar.(TJMax, huge mason jars on da cheap, already got a few with the smallest being 50oz paid $8!!!)
The other girls flushing through this week but definetly about to chop and hang.
Yeah Jsammy09 your like my Grow Bro and appreciate your comments ๐
Nice homie! Ill be following for sure as I grow. I see you like to do your research before hand as well lol. Good luck with the grow homie! Im excited to see your green crack!
Congrats to the harvest bro โ๏ธ๐๐ I also use the same black edition ๐ ...since last year since I bought it I almost don't use anything else now ๐ฅ
