Week 16 (Harvest)
1-2 Drying day 1
Temperature: 24.5 to 19.5 degrees
Humidity: 65% to 50%
The girls are ready to be harvested!
Before chopping them down, i took a lot of pictures.
I was able to remove most of the soil from the Biscotti #2 to see the rootball.
I hang the plants as a whole to have a slow dry.
The exhaust fan is on setting 4.
2-2 Drying day 2
Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 57%
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion.
3-2 Drying day 3
Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
Today i checked up on the drying plants, and i see there are some buds touching other buds, so i chopped the plants in half.
The buds are still to the main stem for a slow dry, but are hanging more spreaded out to prevent any budrot issues.
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying.
4-2 Drying day 4
Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
5-2 Drying day 5
Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell,
I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry.
For the next grow i already germinated 2x Chemdog (GreenHouseSeeds) 2x Gorilla Kush (GanjaFarmerSeeds) and 1x Deep Candy CBD (GreenHouseSeeds)
And I have some upgrades planned aswell!
I bought a autopot kit with 4 15L pots, this way the plants will have water and air 24/7 whenever they need it. I have seen alot of great results using autopots so i am very exited to try it out!
And I bought a small camera so i can shoot some weekly timelapses!
