Way to Grow One

"Wow, your plant looks roughly half as tall as it did last week" You're right, harvest has begun. I cut off the top half of the plant and gave it a rough trim and hung the stems up to dry. I did not have enough clothespins or binderclips or clotheshangers or even space to hang it all up. The smell in my house was almost overpowering from all the fresh cutting and took a day to work itself out. Wet weight was right about 1100g and after 6 days I trimmed it all up. One third of all the stems went into a big box and hung with a small thermoelectric dehumidifier in the box. Temps were round 84F and I'd run the dehumidifier if the humidity was over 70% and turn it off when it went under 60%. Those stems dried a couple days faster than those hanging in the grow tent, which were at a humidity of about 65% at night, 55% during the day. Dry weight so far is 180g, but there are a few bits of stem in there so maybe a little less. I need to get another jar to cure in for sure. This is my first time trimming and I wasn't sure if I am supposed to leave the sugar leaves on that are completely covered in trichomes. Some are super thick with em! I've been trimming almost all of them off, so as an experiment I loaded up my Pax with some of the ground up leaves. It tasted different obviously, but not objectionable and it did seem to have the desired effect. Am I supposed to leave them on? The stems dried in the dehumdifier box were definitely more dry on the outside than those hanging naturally in the tent. It took 3 days before the humidity in their jar climbed from ambient (55%) to 65%. Those in the tent were more sticky and the humidity in their soup container jumped up into the 60s% overnight. I also found some fluffy mold on a few of the buds (5-6?) when trimming, I cut those off and put them in their own small jar so I can measure the waste weight before I dump them. The second layer of buds changed a lot this week, bulking up a bit and definitely getting more frosty all over. They should be ready to harvest this week so I can get my final numbers - 193g so far from one plant!
