White Widow & Bubba Kush Fem by Seedsman & Big Body Gelati Reg by Covert

Well here we are! Harvest Day! Chopped the remaining plants yesterday. Both of the White Widows, the remaining Bubba Kush #1, and the Big Body Gelati by Covert Genetics are all drying in a closet that I got dialed in pretty well for drying. Took the controller and probe out of the grow room and got those hooked up along with the humidifier in the closet and it seems to be keeping things dialed in pretty well. Did not do this when drying the BK #2 which was ready a few weeks ago and while the hygrometer was reading between 60-65F for temp and 55-60% humidity I definitely feel like I could have done a better job keeping it closer to 60/60 and the smell of those dried buds I think suffered due to it. They don't smell bad just don't really have a smell at all. Usually the smell is that hay or close to hay like/plantlike taste/smell but that Bubba Kush #2 literally has a nonexistent smell which I suppose is better than hay but still disappointed it doesn't have that odor especially given it is Bubba Kush which usually has a distinct aroma to it. Keeping it cooler in there as well as having the controller regulating when the humidifier turns on should help a lot. It has been almost 24 hours since harvest and the humidity is wanting to jump up to between 65-70% which is too high so every few hours have to crack the closet door and exchange some air which I really don't want to do but need it less humid in there. As the plants dry out more, this should start gradually getting lower. Luckily the temp has not gone above 61.5F and has mostly been sitting around 59-60F which is perfect. Definitely a lot more moisture in there with 4 plants hanging versus the 1 from before when drying the BK #2 by itself. Unable to get a true wet weight so leaving that blank. The WW's and the BBG were heavy though and the BK #2 (harvested a few weeks ago) was by far the heaviest plant. 300g total dry weight so wet she was a few pounds. Will update more when drying is finished. Fingers crossed for a slow cool dry and that the humidity stays in check and we get some terpy, loud, fire buds!! Going to get the grow room cleaned and tidied up, the 2nd light installed, reamend the 30 gallons with some craft blend, Gnarly Barley, compost and EWC then plant some cover crop and start popping the next round of seeds!! Set up a worm bin and have some red wigglers on the way which should help a lot on the next run as well. Going all covert next round a few different strains so stay tuned!! Next run should be even more successful and less problems. This grow was for the most part super easy and problem free but can always improve!! Thanks again to anyone who checked out this diary, commented, liked, or followed. Really appreciate your input/support!! Really makes growing fun sharing it like this and this platform is the best way I have found to do that.

2nd plant finally finished drying after 17 days and was trimmed and jarred. First plant was done drying nearly a month ago so that is really interesting the different length of time. 1st plant which was the BK #2 was probably the fastest growing plant I've had and really went quick. Really easy to grow and resisted some minor issues really well. 1st plant yielded 300 grams and the 2nd one yielded just over 37 grams. The 2nd plant (BK #1) did not receive nearly enough light so it didn't yield as much but the buds it did yield were really good looking and much better tasting and smoking. Thanks for following along!!
