Girl is looking great, she’s sitting at 11 inches of height from the pot and 2x2 feet wide. One more tuck and she should be good for the rest of flowering. Receiving a top feed of 70/30 bloom and veg of Gaia green. Worm castings with a dose of monkey juice bacteria and kelp extract from green rush. Last top feed and she should have plenty of nutrient to uptake for stacking. I will be assisting it with some beefy bud by green rush during flowering.
Day 11. Handful of worm castings around base. Top fed 70/30 Gaia Bloom, Gaia 4-4-4.
Monkey juice with Kelp extract.
1 teaspoon molasses. All in Gallon of water. She drank it all.
Anticipating to give a dose of Beefy Bud by Green Rush on day 18 to assist the Gaia that’s breaking down. I should have a great flowering.
@ApothecAries, yeah I hear ya man. No I was more asking about how long you normally cure for. I know that some crazy craft growers will cure for 4-6 months. I usually try to go for about three months then just leave it in long term storage. Yeah you’re definitely right that it changes over time. I still have a few jars from a 2021 grow. It’s pretty old now but still very smokable and still hits. The appearance isn’t so hot anymore but meh whatever it all looks the same when it’s been through a grinder bahaha. Once it’s dry I usually start picking at it every so often. A few grams here or there isn’t going to make a huge difference when there’s over 120 grams of it. Plus I’m not the guy who’s relying on that plant to be ready because I’m out of smoke. I know some people in that position and they don’t even give it enough time for the cure and they burn right through it because it’s their only source of weed.
@Papa_T, it could take up to 6 months to get a perfect cure. i notice when i store for long time in jars the profiles do change over time and around 6 months might start degrading. I like to cure for atleast 4 weeks before enjoying the smoke. i find the burn is good and the taste is potent and clean. It really all depends what you did during the hanging phase i assume.
@ApothecAries, ahhhh shit I must not have seen that reply a month ago.
How long do you usually cure for? I’m finding that a three month cure makes it really prime. My Purple Punch wasn’t smelling so great but man after three months it really came around and now it smells absolutely wonderful.
