It wasn't that easy, but it's done. They smell very intense after cutting, very spicy, soapy, a bit sweet, and maybe a little bit of citrus in there.
I'm drying them whole and will trim them dry since the conditions are okay for me at the moment. I'm aiming for about 7 days of drying time.
5 days later:
No.3:
It was only 5 days for Pheno No.3 until I trimmed it. It was already dry, and the buds are now in the curing bucket at about 62% humidity. The interval is set to ventilate 4 times a day for 30 minutes, and I'm aiming for a value of about 60%. The humidity in the bucket might still rise a bit as the remaining moisture from the inside of the buds distributes more evenly. The progress is being tracked and monitored with a simple Govee Wi-Fi hygrometer.
From the trim, I've already made the first dry sift hash. After about 2-3 minutes of shaking, I got the first 10g out. I've also collected the scissor hash.
The difference in taste from the hash to the flower is still quite noticeable at the moment, but the buds still need to dry/curing properly. It's definitely very smooth and doesn't scratch at all, tasting very intensely spicy with a strong chemical/soapy/gassy note.
The other two phenos need a bit longer since they are drying in the 120x90 tent, and for some reason, it dries slower there than in the smaller 90x90. So I'll check back in 2-3 days.
A few days later:
They are now stable and in the jar. The taste has changed significantly again and, in my opinion, improved. The soapy note has become much less pronounced, and it now mainly tastes spicy.
No.1 has a nice dense bud structure and is relatively green when ground.
No.2 has yielded very little and the buds are still small.
No.3 has great bag appeal with a colorful mix of green and purple tones.
Cured and ready:
They are now stable and mainly taste musky with a herbal perfume. I just got a ball vape (WOHW), and with that, the flavor comes extremely close to the smell.
The taste is very intense and lingers in the mouth for a long time, and the high is relaxing for me but not sleepy.
All 3 phenos are close in flavor, and all 3 have a reasonable trichome density, only the color differs.
