Sweet Deep Grapefruit

I didn’t want to risk the foxtailing getting worse, so I did the 2nd of 2 days of GH Flora Kleen and pH'd RO water flush and then chopped. I was very concerned with the dry and cure conditions this grow, as I’ve had issues in the past that resulted in hay. The lung/drying room has a portable AC blowing the coldest it can do all the time, which gets the room to 61f. It’s fairly well sealed up and blacked out. There are a couple of fans blowing air towards walls away from the bud. There was great airflow and little wind movement in the hanging bud. A couple of nights I had arranged the fans so there was a tiny bit of movement in the branches, but decided it didn’t seem even and wasn’t worth the risk, so I reverted to the previous configuration. I cut her branches off near the manifold and hung them up high in the dry room. Drying conditions were about 61f and 60% RH for most of the dry. I strung up a couple of SensorPush sensors and my Inkbird humidity sensor into the middle of the buds to keep track. I also left out a bunch of little Amazon sensors that I throw in jars for storage, as an experiment. They have terrible individual accuracy but are useful in aggregate. During the first couple days of drying the humidity went up significantly. I replaced my humidifier with a new large-sized Govee unit and that made a big difference. I dried them for 7 days before I started trimming. It took me 3-4 days of trimming to get done. A lot of work. I should have been more aggressive with the lollipopping. I didn’t take a wet weight, and the way I trimmed and split up the bud between tops, middles, lowers/smalls, and popcorn/larf (plus the fact that I’ve been smoking it 😜) made it so it’s going to be some work to properly dry weigh it. But weighing the grove bags, and taring and weighing mason jars, I’m estimating it at just over a pound yield (~17oz). Will follow up. In conclusion, I am more than happy with this grow iteration and her yield, and I'm more than impressed by Nature and this plant's ability to survive, revive, and flourish with numerous significant stressors during its life. Every grow I learn, revise, acquire more or better equipment, and it's getting more dialed in. I'm going to be looking into adding more sophisticated controllers, and perhaps constant pH monitoring. That's an area I still need to get better at. I fight with pH meters, their storage and calibration and I'm getting to the point where I'm going to shell out for a Bluelab guardian in hope of making it less frustrating. Need to go through my photos still and add more. Coming soon.
