Full Tent - Indica Hybrid - First Grow

Mar. 12, 2018: Firstly I would like to say Wow! what an adventure this first grow has been. I've learned so much from my many mistakes, and realized that most of them could have been avoided if I would have only followed all the wisdom available to me. My next run will be much different, but not for a while. I'm hoping my harvest will be more than I had hoped for and last me a while, as I expect a hot summer ahead and will be unwilling to grow in the high heat. ... I plan on harvesting Thur. Mar 15, 2018 which will be 8 weeks and 1 day of flowering. The golden glow continues to intensify on 4/5 plants and the 5th will hopefully follow suit soon, but she's mostly cloudy now so all is good to harvest the whole tent. ... My boveda packs and trimmers are ordered and I'm excited and nervous to get the harvest started. I've worked pretty hard to get to this point, but I'm painfully aware the next steps can still ruin it all. I've read so many differing opinions of how to harvest, trim, and cure my bud that I think will combine multiple sources to give me the best chance at the best end product. ... The Plan: 1. clear all the plants out of the tent 2. clean and sanitize the tent and remove the light 3. setup fans and hanging lines in tent 4. remove all fan leaves from plants before chopping and discard any trash leaves 5. remove main branches and side branches separately. 6. Wet trim most exposed sugar leaves and save for hash 7. take pictures and wight of trimmed buds before hanging 8. hang wet trimmed buds on branches in tent to dry 9. run exhaust fan and dehumidifier 10. place fans in bottom of tent for air circulation, not directly on buds but just below 11. wait and monitor till outsides of buds are dry and crispy but stalks bend and break without snapping 12. trim colas down to jar sized buds and place in quart or half gallon mason jars with 62% boveda packs to finish drying and to continue/finish the cure 13. smoke and enjoy!!!!
