So pumped for these puppies. So far everything has gone flawlessly on this round though it's early. Switched over to rapid rooters and went 10/10 germination (usually I lose 1 or 2 with a soak and paper towel). To me the rooters were a way better method they popped in 2 days at latest and sprung right up and out of their shell.
3 of these came out the womb a neon yellow
@Darkmanx, it really doesn't affect the smell or anything the terps are not water soluble so the water just bounces off. I've done side by side and saw no noticeable difference. It's not always necessary to do it but it only takes a few mins and doesn't hurt and definitely extends the drying time
@Hawkbo, I somehow missed this comment. Great info. I've heard other write about rinsing harvested buds under room temp water. How does that affect the terpines? The aromatherapy they give off is so relaxing.
Thank you @Darkmanx, I'm not sure I might have gone in to detail in one of the diaries but I dry in a 4x4x8 tent so it's always complete darkness @ 58-61% RH and try to let them dry as slow as possible. The dry tent is in a part of my house that is cold more often than not around 60° F. I rinse all my buds off immediately after the chop with r/o h20 to rinse any debris off and so they will hold onto moisture and lengthen the dry cycle. I cure in glass mason jars that are stored in a light proof bin so no light can't degrade the trichomes. I'll throw in a small hygrometer in a few of the jars and depending on the humidity dictates how often I'll burp them. I try to cure for 2 weeks at a minimum but have had certain strains cure for up to two months or more for personal use and those are usually noticeably smoother especially if I had to do a quicker than normal flush.
Yo home slizzle. What a harvest! 140 grams out of one plant that’s a win in my book any day. Nugs are lookin hella frosty I bet the smoke is good as the colors!
@TeflonDonFarms,thanks bro I still havnt found a better smoke than the Cali snow...stardawg is close I'm gunna try that one again today now that it's been curing for a few days
I have a question for you if you have time time to answer my question I'm sure u cure a lot of green could you tell me me your step by step technique I've been have a lil trouble with that part of the process with taste
@simps, it depends if I jump the gun and take them off the dry rack too early, if I do I open the jars every day feel the buds and give them some air. Usually I take them down when there pretty dry when the leaves are crispy af so I'll put them in the jar, open it for a minute the next day and then every 3 or 4 days ill check them and make sure too much moisture didnt come back. Sometimes I'll take down some branches when there too wet and some when there too dry on purpose and then mix them together in a jar that seems to get me the best moisture content
I grew some of those (it was my second grow ) totally botched it I was watering with tap water with a ph of 9.0 it was bad but even under these circumstances the small amount of bud I got was very good.
