DAY 70
It's harvest day.
Last 24 hrs before harvest was an extended dark period. May be helpful with terpene preservation.
Buds are very dense and hard already. These will be real top shelf stunners if the cure goes well.
All 3 have been chopped and are hanging in the tent @ 70°/55% rh. All long stem leaves have been removed. Hoping to stretch the dry time to 10 days before jarring for cure.
This has 2 weeks to fully dry and begin the cure before the other areas of this review can be completed.
DAY 72 (2 days drying)
DAY 74
After 4 full days hanging in tent, cut branches on these gals to fit into flat drying boxes. The flat boxes create a smaller environment that is easier to control than using the entire grow tent.
Currently, the material is @ 70% rh. The large single plant is @220g.
The 2 others are 180g together.
Estimate final yield to be 8oz total.
DAY 76
6 days drying. Rh in tent is set @60%. Individual boxes are 64%. These do not have a strong odor, but do have a sweet and fruity smell. Very nice.
Continue slow dry. Target 62% rh.
DAY 78
After 70 days in the ground and 8 days drying these have been given a nice tight trim and are in the 1.5 gallon curing jars @61%.
Buds are super dense and hard. They seem as if they were dipped in maple syrup and allowed to dry until they becsme crusty. WOW. These look and feel as if they will gush with rosin when pressed.
Smell is very pungent and sweet.
Final yield for the big girl was 151g.
The total for all 3 is 277g.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
This strain was easy to grow and produced some top shelf smoke.
The buds are so dense, the qt mason jars are only half full with 30g in them. Everything is @61%rh.
Taste is pungent and sweet and the smell is the same. Should only get better with a nice long cure.
