This past week I have been letting the plants do them. The Gelato was ready for harvest, so I popped it into a dark closet for a few days before the chop and it has been curing. I still have some stems on the bugs, soni have red done a weight check yet, but it doesn't look like too much. Maybe 1/2 oz, which is plenty for personal use of one plant.
Banana has tons of muh smaller leaves, and the two cheese are so sticky. I moved it to the closet yesterday and will chop it tmro for a full hang, and the last two (cheese 2/cheese1) are showing monomial amber, and cheese2 hasn't even turned cloudy yet. So I am going to age them a bit more...like a fine cheese.
I also got a Ju1cebox for some fun pressing trys. I pressed a bit and got limited return, but one was open dispensary SlimerOG that was pretty brittle (pictured) and I tried it with some keif. I dig it. I can imagine the handheld is going to be a pain in the ass, but imma try it with my trim and stems, see what I can make from waste.
@Ezzjaybruh, there's 2 cheese autos, a banana kush auto, and Gelato autos going in the tent. So the whole shebang is autos. The cheese are def super bushy in comparison but they started out as deformed seedlings so I just wanted to let em run and see how they grow (at this point, all experience is educational)!
