Damn, she looks lovely! Smoke sesh at your place right? But seriously, seems like it was just last week that you flipped to 12/12 and now she is getting cut in a few days. Great job man. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1298766-2Nd-Dwc-Grow-With-White-Widow.
appreciate it. yea man. i'm just glad to have made it this far. my previous grows have been interrupted for numerous reasons. gonna get my dry and cure process down so no hiccups for the auto's
I'll have to say the dry and cure is the part that worries me a bit. I'd hate to have my whole crop ruined because I didn't dry correctly. Do you manicure then dry or vise versa? http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1298766-2Nd-Dwc-Grow-With-White-Widow.
i do a slight trim prior, then thorough, after drying. i usually get too dry. gonna go 2-3 days then bag it for 2-3 days. then jar, burping for 1-2 weeks.
my one buddy been at it forever he's old school uses fingers to trim then just let's it hang until dry on hangers. I trim mine really good with fisker scissors then leave it out on screen til it's almost dry still sticky and then I cut off branches and put in jars and do a burping schedule 12 hours lid on 12 hours lid off 8 hours lid on 8 hours off then 4 on 4 off. Then just leave it sealed and burp daily. I've found that the slow cure produces harder more compact nugs and the quick hanging cure produces "fluffy" buds. I prefer my method over his cuz the fluff nugs just fall apart if you are rough on them. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1234402-Budget-DWC-CFL
get some 62% humidipaks man they are great for keeping it at the right humidity without going too low..they dehumidify slow also so if you put em in at 68-70% they will take the humidity out
never heard of them before. 12 pack on amazon for $10, may have to give em a shot. im gonna monitor drying closely this time. no fan, because i think that causes an issue.
I ended up needing a humidifier to dry mine..you dont need a fan if you already have air circulation from whatever...kept it around 50% and took 8 days instead of 3-4 in dry ass michigan winter...the medium packs work good for quart jars but the half gallons need a large..i just put 2 mediums in mine...the caliber humidity gauge works good too i learned it from this https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=156237
thanks for the link. i've tried different variations but just gonna hang and leave it. check back every 6-12 hours. with a fan 3 days is too much so im thinking 3-4 days then jar and burp constantly. would rather them be too moist going in then too dry.
yea i got lucky cause they were pretty dry when i took em..stabilized at 57 so was glad i had the paks..if it shoots up to 70 or feels wet right after jarring them you should dump em out till they feel a bit crispy again and then try again..once the humidity is low enough you only have to burp once in a while to let the co2 out
alright. she's coming down tomorrow. i always overestimate yield, so i'll just be happy to fill some jars and still have a bit left when these auto's are done new beans going down tomorrow will post pics when done my new thread http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1298195-answers-auto-adventure.html?p=19915239
If a housefly lands on anything, merely moving your hand in their direction is enough to get them to fly off; except on cannabis. I've literally had to poke them in the side to get them to fly off. Talk about couch lock, lol
Wish I could grow mine taller looks awesome! Hope it smokes good http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1234402-Budget-DWC-CFL
126 grams + the 20 or so i smoked prematurely. little over 5 oz yield. not too shabby. i'll post some pics of the stash in a bit don't forget to join me on my next "Adventure" http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1298195-answers-auto-adventure.html
Just opened a jar that's been closed for a couple weeks. My drying process still needs improving, but it's not half bad. Smooth smoke, mild flavor. Way better than my previous harvests so win for me.
