Day 83
Currently drying, will update before Robert Smith turns up....
Day 87 5 days in, all trimmed and back in to dry.
Temp 18c RH 50%
Will raise humidity to 62% for last 5 days and add fan.
Day 92 Girls pruned to similar size buds and in jars to cure.
Will wait a few days until the residual moisture dissipates then weigh for the final time.
Lemony tones coming off her already.
Pleased as was getting worried during drying. Think I'll try a dry trim on the two Lemon Kix I have in atm (see my other diary)
Sampled some this afternoom and eveb before a cure its smooth enough to smoke, citrusy in profile and burns a nice clean white ash.
Looking forward to seeing the flavour/texture evolve over next few weeks before smoke report.
I'm not the most patient person, this part is extremely difficult.
Day 97 Final weight dried and a week cured is 87.8g (3.1oz)
Extremely pleased with the yield.
Smoke report
I've got to be honest, it's not the stinky monster I was expecting but its made up for it in other areas.
Really smooth on the inhale, lemony forest taste, no horrible aftertaste.
No coughing, which is a novelty!
For my first run, I'm v happy.
I feel the excessive heat may have microwaved some of the terps but we live and we learn.
Not long until my Auto Lemon Kix are ready, hopefully got the temp under control in time for them.....
