Northern Lights Autos DONE!

Plant #2 harvested week 12. A lot less yield than I hoped for with this one, but should be a bit over an ounce when dried. I usually hang full branches and dry trim later, but since I just got a MyHerbsNow dryer, I trimmed a lot of leaf matter, but not enough to qualify as a true wet-trim. This is my first time using the dryer and I'm eager to see how it will turn out. It should be ready for curing jars in about 96 hours, I'll give it a taste then. Will report back on both the performance of the dryer and the potency/taste of the harvest! Update: I checked the Herb Dryer after 48 hours, and they were already a little too dry! My laundry/furnace room is where my grow tent is, and the humidity was only in the mid-30's so I may need to put a humidifier in there when drying. I finished trimming and dropped it all into a mason jar to cure, but kept a little for a taste test last night... As far as the first run using the dryer goes, I obviously have to dial in my technique, but I'm impressed with the results. It would normally take me well over a week to get my buds this dry, and I think the taste/smell from using the dryer is at least as good as hanging, but it has the added benefit of being WAY faster and uses a lot less space. Highly recommend. SMOKE REPORT: I ground up a small bud, filled my dry herb vape and took 3 good pulls, which is my normal evening dose. Really good flavor, earthy/piney/peppery, but the smoke was harsher than my last batch of home-grown, probably because I didn't really flush this one. It took maybe 10 mins for it to hit me, but when it did, my mind started racing and my heart rate picked up; I ended up on the verge of uncomfortably high. After about 30 minutes I got that tingly-numb-all-over thing happening, which would level out, but then it would sharply step up in intensity every 10 mins or so. That numb feeling was wonderful though, it took away my constant back pain. After about an hour, the sedative side took over and it knocked me out for the night. I slept like a baby, but I think I'm gonna dial it back a hair when I use it again. #1: 224g wet. Smells like Fruity Pebbles. We'll see how it is after a few days in the dryer! 48g dry. Still smells like Fruity Pebbles after drying, tastes like it in my vape, very heavy Indica stone. I took a few pulls, sat down to read a book and I never even felt it hit, I just woke up in my chair 2.5hrs later. I felt great though and slept like a baby. Great for back pain. #3: ~300g wet. Not much smell. In the dryer! 80g dry.
