Day 31, Stacking nicely. She will get another dose of Green rush Beefy bud on day 35. Day 39 a dose of microbes and molasses with some Seaweed extract for Potassium boost. A nice defoliation on day 40 or so to shape up all the Colas. Should see some nice progress in coming weeks and hopefully some purple big buds ! Thanks for checking her out !
Strong Limonene terps, i removed anything trying to grow under canopy and wow the lemon zest was crazy! Gassy Lemons and Candy! First smell i could almost compare to Prestone ( coolant you put in vehicles ) with some candy notes. It does make me think its leaning on the sativa genetic side but we will see. It did stay nice and short and might have stretched 8 inches or so. It will be a nice hybrid for sure !
Defoliated on Day 34. Removed any big fan leaves blocking nodes.

@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.
