Another mainly warm, sunny week with a couple cooler days.
The Tangie'Matic, Purple Glam Kush, Guerilla Glue and Dubai Poison were chopped last week and chopped the last 3 today. The Devil's Kiss, Cocopopo and Lavender Best.
Only water for the last 3 this week and the other 4 are drying and need another day or 2. I don't like burping jars while I'm curing, I prefer to dry them a day longer than normal and then close the jar and let it sit. It is a fine line between too dry and having mold issues, but haven't had any issues in the past, so will stick to that method. I am drying in a new area to avoid too much smell in the house, but they're drying nice and slowly, so is working perfectly.
Next week I'll have wet and dry weight for the 1st 4 to go down and the week after I'll post the last 3... then it's the long wait to cure.
I normally have a tester at 1 month and then again at 2 months. The first is normally bland in taste, but get an idea of what's to come, then after 2 months it's flavor starts to come in nicely and normally start smoking from 2 months, but find 3 months in jars without opening (besides taking a tiny bit out each month) has given me the best results, so will try to wait.
@Ganjagardenner, Yeah, adding till burn was just trying to find out where their limits are with the mixes I'm giving them, but like you say, the balance is more important than amounts. At least now I know what too much is and can now work on more micro elements to keep everything in balance. Been playing with foliar feeding on my winter crop and they seem to love it, so will keep the soil feeding lower and add some more foliar once a week. Lots of little experiments and dialing things in. Pretty much just pushing them to the extremes so I can see what happens when they are not happy... like you said, mistakes make experience, so if I stay careful I won't learn much, but by purposely making mistakes I learn way more and if I can see where the see saw hits the ground either side, balancing it should be easier. 😉
It's so awesome that almost everything we learn with weed translates to the rest of the garden. It's making me want to get into growing veggies again.
Thanks! Happy growing to you too! ✊
@Shinsimilla, for sure! ‘Experience‘ is the name given to our mistakes! I like the idea of adding nutes until burn, but all the micro and macro elements are in such an equilibrium It’s hard to actually think which is the issue. Guess that’s the green thumb element of understanding the plants. I do a lot of other gardening also and the techniques usually transfer over so it’s great fun all the time. Happy growing dude!
@Ganjagardenner, nice. Yeah, everyone's system and environment is different and there is almost never only 1 solution, so make the experimenting more fun.
Cool to see how everyone solves their issues differently and end up with good results. I pushed mine to nute burn to see how much they can take, so stay below that now.
There are lots of right ways, but finding lots of wrong ways on the way and that's almost more important :P
@Fast_Buds, Thank you!
The Tangie'matic is definitely in the lead of the first few am super happy with her so far!
I have an LSD-25, Zkittlez and Mexican Airlines that just popped out the soil and will start day one tomorrow.
Looking forward to smell & taste them. Is a bit early in the season, so probably wont get a crazy yield, but that won't stop the terps! haha
@Shinsimilla, ha well I'm a newbie grower but I can tell there's a fair bit of talent and a fair bit of experience gone into these it's really good ! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, coming from you that is even more of a compliment, thank you!
Combining my job/passion with another passion that has recently been legalised here, so loving it!
Thanks for the follow 🙏
