Green Gelato (Royal Queen Seeds)

8/16/24 HARVEST!!!!!!😻 I will update this page over the next month as the plants go through their drying and curing process. Drying will take 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks for curing in jars. - Plants chopped and major fan leaves removed, but otherwise will be left for a dry trim - Plants hung in grow tent with the lights off and fans running - Humidifier in tent set to maintain 60% humidity - AC vent in the room will be left open to keep ambient temp as low as possible - Plants will hang for around 2 weeks for a slow, gradual dry 8/23/24 - Drying progressing very nicely - About 3 days in, the expected hay smell came and disappeared in about 36 hours - Buds drying well, still no snap in the branches - Tent temp staying between 68-72 degrees, humidity coming down to around 63% now as the plants dry out - Probably another 5-7 days of very slow drying to go 8/30/24 Was really hoping to be able to trim and jar everything up today, but we've had a really rainy and humid week and the ladies just aren't quite ready. - Not getting branch snap yet, but close - Humidity is hanging around 63%, drier would be nice, but it's ok - Temp has been around 73 degrees (where I have the AC set), cooler would be nice but it's ok - Trimmed and ground up a bud to try it, and indeed it needs to be about 3-5% drier, but it ground up really well - Buds are incredibly sticky - Tasted great and was very smooth- even though a few more days of drying are needed, the low slow dry is letting them mature really well and this is going to be a great batch - Hopefully 3-5 days more and we have a dry spell coming up, so getting close 9/3/24 Trim day! Finally the humidity eased up enough to get it across the home stretch- got the branch snap, and started in with the trimming. - Interesting changes while drying, there were not a ton of amber pistils when harvested, but they all turned while drying - The CannaBrush once again is amazing, but works best on the dense tops, the lower, looser buds need scissors - Going to give it a 2-week cure with daily burping - Ground up a bud and it's moisture and texture was perfect, looking forward to seeing how it matures in the jar
