An American Dream - White Picket Fences and Marijuana in the So Cal Sun

67 degs and 71% humidity this AM
68 degs and 68% humidity on box#2
Took G13 Diesel #2 today
Can one contents out for an hour
Can two All Blue Dream out as well
This afternoon I took one of the just harvested G13 buds and a 62 % Boveda pack and stuck both in a jar to see..
3 hours later I would have expected to see a 100% reading with out the pack .. I didn't see any reason to run a control bud in a jar with no pack as we all know what that would have done
Hit the Hydro store for a pack of grodan cubes and a bag of perlite and took 14 cuts off the 7 kids in veg..
 
My drying adventures are by no means an exact science yet and for the most part I'm making it up as I go.. But my general target is to take about 7 to 10 days to get to the low 60s Humidity from harvest.. 2 to 3 days on the line then bagged and canned for about 5 to 7 days ideally dropping about a point a day till 62% is reached.. At that point jar it with a 62 % Boveda pack and call it done.. I think I'm In love with them things..

 

Super Silver Haze #2 has pulled into the lead at 22 1/2 inches

Purple Haze
Northern Lights #1
Northern Lights #2
I'll swear I left nothing but a stem and a single trimmed leaf
And again
And yet again ? no way.. It's my old eyes playing tricks on me.. tomorrow they will be gone..
Just can't happen
Hot glue, some sticks and a faster top to vent or inspect

 

With the starter boxes off and cold the pressure on me to get out to the grow and get the kids out for the day has gone leaving me some morning time to post and read a bit..
RHSC has to come out of the dark this morning is the only real must do item.. Besides the usual need to continue to harvest.. My back, hands and eyes have had enough..
Most of the stuff in Trash can #1 is dry enough to jar with a Boveda 62% pack now.. I need to order another Brick of the 60 gram packs
But I can take them from the current 12 jars as they are long stable and shouldn't need the pack as long as the jars stays sealed at least till I get more packs..
 
Can #2 will present more of a challenge as it's all Blue Dream.. Each cut down paper bag holds 100-150 grams about.. and just about fits into a 1/2 gallon mason jar.. I can see I'm going to need more jars even though I've been stockpiling them all summer.. Or just get off the dime and start making dry ice kief again.. that shrinks weed stockpiles real fast.. speaking of I have a half a trash can full of trim shake I need to process as well.. Getting low on both grades of Kief anyhow..
 
My overwhelming curiosity about the cuttings will force me to go sooner rather then later.. In general my luck with cloning has been very poor 3 from 30 but most taken from plants already flowering.. with both bubble cloner and soil attempts

 

Things are dry down to where I want them now and it's time to jar
Mr.J's Black Berry all dried and well on it's way to full cure in a few more weeks..

Mr. S who helped all summer long with watering duties and showed me a thing or 3 about trimming remains in ICU.. We visited him last night for a short time.. but learned this morning they put him on a ventilator sometime in the night.. will be seeing him later this morning..
 
Having done my own hospitalization tours I know all to well the painful slow crawl of time and anything or one to break that is a welcome sight indeed.. even strapped, trapped, tapped, drilled, needled, and drugged beyond senselessness I was aware of people I knew even if I couldn't reach threw the cotton candy surrounding me to acknowledge them at the time..
 
Get well Mr. S..

 

Our star seedling needed some help today as it had pushed it's self all the way out of the cube so with a fine probe I reset it a proper depth and tucked some loose wool on top
The 24 up and coming group of cuttings
A few close ups..
Picked up 5 lbs of dry ice and processed most of the half trash can of scraps into 2 1/2 jars of Kief
The current contents of Can #1 out for rotation.. Didn't stay out long as temps are still high and humidity very low..
Mr. J did show up and worked alone until I ran out of dry ice and then I helped him finish up his Tahoe OG Kush..
O.G. Kush after trimming just a few branches I decided this messy little plant would just get hashed and wet stripped it all..
The current load out in the only can running.. G13 Diesel, Sour Diesel, Black Berry, Herijuana, Both small Bull Dozers from the SIPs
Moved the light down a tad on the cuttings..
 
Went and looked in on Mr. S this afternoon but he was sedated.. His pulse is lower and his respiration with the ventilator is much more reasonable..
We're off to check on him now
 
Mr. S is still knocked out with better pulse but he's still over breathing the respirator.. CT scan today was a  big negative,, Tonight another one with enhanced tracer dye to have a better look at his lungs.. Our thoughts are with you Mr. S..

 

New kids are all doing just fine so far..
We not only picked our head up we opened it
And
Stood up nice and tall at 3/4 of an inch overnight.. 
Cut it's cube from the tray and moved over to the big kids play house
Harvested Train Wreck today..
And took Mr.J's Tahoe OG Kush down off the line and stems
Tahoe and Bull Dozer got started on their journey in the slow dry can
