LSD-25 & Blackberry - 12:12 Flower

I grew this strain together with another photoperiod strain and one more Autoflower. It was a matter of either using the space in the tent or not. So 🙌 They all vegged together and as soon as those two Autoflowers where ready to flower, I switched them all together to 12:12 light schedule. That worked perfectly for both plants. Since I'm still learning and this has been my third grow so far, I also wanted to test, not only how Autos react to 12:12 in Flower, but also how well they took the so called "Quadline"-training. You remove the bottom nodes and then top. Out of the 4 remaining nodes, you spread a "X" and train those to the outside of the pot. This is the short version, I talk about this more in my diary. Both plants got this training (actually all three), and all lost one of their arms due to hulking :) Oh my. I keep that in mind for my future calculations, as in 1/4 was missing in total. The LSD-25 seemed to lack a little behind the Blackberry, if you were to compare both size and growth, but caught up in the end. The LSD-25 grew much bushier and had a beautiful even canopy. She faded nicely towards the end. Also the buds grew evenly along the stem. She popped nicely towards the end and def. shows good signs for when she is finished. Both trichomes and calyx swelling. Drying - I tried this strain two different ways: 1. Low and Slow Dry in the fridge and 2. Regular Dry in a dry tent with 52% RH and 21°C - only 6 days of Drying. For the low and slow dry, you wash the buds untrimmed in a baking powder and lemon mix. Then you hang dry them in a well ventilated box to hang dry for 4-8 hours. Trim your buds a little, then weigh 28g of fresh flower per paper bag and put them in your normal fridge. I have them lay flat next to each other in their paper bags, to not touch. Every day I give them a gentle shake in the paper. Be prepared for great smells the first 2 days. It's called the lemon pepper steak in my house 😆 Around the 7 day mark, I take them out and let them come to room temperature. Then they go inside a glas jar to do the humidity test. You need to measure humidity inside the glas. After 12 hours, if you are above 75%, they need to go back to the fridge. The next day, same procedure until you get them below 75%. Then you can cure them in your jars like the rest. If you are interested, don't hesitate to ask me or go to 420magazine.com to check on the low and slo dry. The LSD-25 I liked better from the regular dry. It felt more sticky, since the drying brought out nicely how sticky she is.
