I'll be away for a couple of weeks for work but as soon as I'm back I'll be buzzing right on over to get myself more edge-u-cated while I sit at my keyboard all med-dee-cated. :nomo::tokin: Glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself (visions of The Hangover starring SweetSue and friends...

Hey there Conradino :ciao: Sometime back in some thread or journal somewhere there was some discussions about brix and whatnot and I recall telling you that I'd probably never bring a brix meter into my garden......me being my usual closed minded self. Well guess what, I ended up picking one...

Hey there Santb. You're doing the right thing with your fan dry after bud washing. It's best to get the water to dry off of the buds and leaf matter as soon as possible after washing (without introducing heat). In general cooler temps and/or higher RH will extend the dry time. Higher...

Hey there Rado. :ciao: Thanks for sharing your methods and experiences. Much appreciated brother! :Namaste::thumb::high-five: When it comes to flavor I find that with some strains curing really brings out the flavor as time progresses, flavors that were not even present after 1 month of...

Hey there Sue. :ciao: Glad to hear that you're livin' it up and having a blast over in Vegas while the snow piles up on your rooftop back home. Home sweet home???.....during a NE blizzard.......yeah right!! I've been over in the shadows watching and listening - and hitting the like...

Thanks for the directions WC. Much appreciated. :Namaste: It seems that us Woodstock era kids caught the very tail end of what is now considered in pot circles as "the good old daze" or the pre-Reagan era. I wish I would have starting toking when I was 4 instead of 14. :) Do you plan...

Awesome grow you have going here Doc! :thumb::circle-of-love: Loving your strain selection as well. I've been sitting on a 10 pack of ET Lost Coast OG which I know brightlight grew recently and seemed to like. It will be interesting how it compares to your HSO offering. Anyways, I...

I've never checked RH but if you allow your herbs to dry out enough before jarring and sealing the danger of mold setting in more or less goes away as mold needs moisture to form. The curing process is essentially the off-gassing of moisture along with nasty tasting stuff like chlorophyll...

Hey there friends. I'd like your opinions on something if you don't mind. There seems to be lots of mystery surrounding the history of Thai stick, what it actually was, and why it seemed to have suddenly disappeared around the mid to late 80's. I've read a couple of threads about Thai stick...

Congrats on the chop brother. :thumb::high-five: Your garden is similar to mine, when one finishes there always seems to be at least one or two waiting in the veg tent to take up the newly vacated space in the bloom tent. It's like music, once the rhythm gets going things just seem to flow...

Very much so!! :yummy:

Hey there WC. :ciao: Good of you to stop by. I assume that the smell of freshly cured buds has drawn you out of the Green Hole?? LOL!! I know what you mean about being spread too thin. When work is not so busy I really enjoy visiting and keeping up with grow journals and just bouncing...

Curing - Once the bending of the mid sized stems doesn't feel like bending a piece of rubber but instead you feel a very slight cell breakage it's probably time to begin the curing process. To make sure, give the larger buds and colas a very slight squeeze in an effort to gauge residual...

Drying (continued) - Before moving on I'd like to mention a few things that I forgot to bring up earlier. 1. Try to keep the branches and buds from touching or resting against other branches and buds while drying. Anywhere that buds are allowed to rest against a wall or solid object or be in...

Drying – IMHO the most important part of the drying process is environmental control. Without good environmental control it is extremely difficult to dry cannabis properly and get consistently good results. Ideal environmental conditions would be: About 72 to 50 degrees F with RH maintained...
