I went the full 80 days, and I think I was juuuust starting to see some start to turn amber. But def all milky and I was impatient so down she went. Gave the branches a bit of a rinse in a bucket of hot water.
Dried for a week in the grow space. But I made a huge mistake not taking the big branch apart more cos I had some mold growing. I live in a extremely humid place so leaving the buds touching like that was a bad idea.
Trimmed them and into the jars. I had trouble getting the humidity down in the jars I was leaving them open and I still lost some buds to mold. That's when I cut up all the mega vanity sized buds to help with the curing. Very important lesson learnt!
So I've been smoking it as it cures cos I was out, at 2 weeks cured and it's quite flowery. I have had sudden candy/bubble gum flavour come over as I'm smoking a bowl and I think I'm going crazy or imagining things, but will be interesting to see if that flavour profile develops as it cures!
The high is very upper and energetic, great day smoke to go to work on. Have had a few moments of paranoia, but that's probably wise in this hobby.
Made some canna butter with the 60g of trim. Then I made some bhang with the leaves and that got me HIGH for about 12 hours lol.
Overall, I can't complain about this strain, grew without a problem with a nice yield even in my tiny space and lack of skills. Liked how fast it was. Melon Gum Auto was a nice first auto.
Set up wise I really struggled during the stretch, and the last 2 weeks of flower I got bleaching from the light stress. Looks like I'm setting up a flower tent!
Awesome sounding strain. Following along because I'm intrigued, may want to grab these. Your doing a great job with them. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and beat of luck with the rest of the grow.
