Best of luck everybody! What a great group of growers 🙏

@Philindicus, thank you for all of the information 🙏 much appreciated my friend! I've still got her curing, think I'm on week 3 now but definitely been stealing a sample here and there. Happy growing! 👊

Try to dry her slowly over a period of 5-7 days or longer if possible. I usually keep the humidity at 55% for the first 2 days then raise it up to 60%. then at about the 3rd-4th day take the smallest buds off and put them "loosely" in to jars with a digital hydrometer your goal is to get them down to 62% humidity. Repeat with the medium sized buds in a few days then the larger ones last. If they are 64-66% you can just take the top off the jar a few hours a few times a day until you reach 62%. If they are 66% or higher take them out of the jars for 4 to 6 hours to let them air out then put them back in the jars you may need to repeat this a few times. Once you reach 62-63 % humidity I add a Boveda 62% humidity pack in the jar. This starts the cure stage. I would briefly open the jars and let some fresh air in a few times a week take note of the smell when you take the lids off. Make sure it doesn't smell like ammonia or musky. It should change from a bit of chlorophyll smell during the first week to a more recognizable smell a week or two later. So I typically dry for 1 week. Then cure for at least 2 weeks then I sample some smoke for potency and smoothness. You will find that after curing for 3-8 weeks the smell and smoothness continues to improve. Good luck hope this helps. Enjoy your harvest.😊

@Philindicus, most definitely! Can hardly contain my excitement 🤯

Looks like she's getting closer.👍

Entering my Northern Lights diary as the Girl Scout Cookie can go in the Fast Buds outdoor contest. 🤠. Good luck to everyone and thanks to Growdiaries for the great resource.

@DomanAtrik,You guys need a single strain diary which is already harvested and has a smile face. A good diary should contain pictures and some status text to every week. Some videos and interaction at the comment board does help too ✌️

@BiggestLittleGrower, thanks for taking the time to have a look! 🙏

Went through your whole diary. Very cool ✌️🏻

Much appreciated @Ferenc! Looking forward to that first test run 😤
