Hindu Kush Auto

I started this seed too soon with the other plants still lingering in flower. but soon enough it had the whole tent to itself and even full lights. With the cob on one side and the led on the other, i would rotate the plant 1/4 to 1/3 turn at each visit. The results were 15 nice colas plus the queen cola. My harvest target was mostly red pistols and mostly cloudy trichomes. I scrutinized the plant daily for two weeks leading up to the harvest. Trying my best to use the usb micro scope and the jewelers loop, and the old man magnifying glass. The 40x jewelers loop is ok, but its dam hard to hold still, and the one I have is not optically perfect so its very difficult to use. The USB scope also has movement issues as the slightest tough makes it all blurry. turning off the fans helps, but its still very frustrating trying to get a good look at multiple sights. I cut the branches of starting at the top and worked my way down. I trimmed large leaves and small buds and weighed each cola and hung on the rack with numbered sites. I tracked the weight for each one so when it came time to put in jars each cola group of buds was together. I was worried about bud rot and tried spreading buds away from the stalk to help get air around and also to inspect for botrytis inside. I let them dry for 7 days with good ventilation, oscillating fans blowing a gentle breeze. I was a little longer than Id planned but it was the holiday so timing wasn't on my side. The buds are dryer over all than optimum, but given the bud rot prospects, Ill take them slightly too dry. The outsides are almost crisp, but the buds are large and the core still has some moisture. I spread some of the fat ones out to open up the insides to air, again to try and keep from rot. I anticipate the remaining moisture in the buds will add some humidity to the dryer extremities. The buds were dry trimmed and inspected again for rot. Unfortunately 2 had it. They were plump buds and Im lucky I didn't lose more. I re-re-inspected the buds for rot ( used the loop). I cataloged each cola and jarred them individually. My trim tray has a screen on it and I have scraped out some kief to press into a puck. Now...more waiting. 6 weeks in jar is my ready date.
