Another First Time Grow

[irie lion]

Looks like all is still on track with the low & slow!

Sativa vs the indica nugs

Damn those are beautiful nugs bro! Well done!

@irie lion any plans for your next grow ?

Mmmh no real plans to be honest the last month was a bit wild and I didn’t have time to start new seeds or even plan it out. I’ve got about 30 or so plants in my propagation station which are all cuts of what I’ve got in flower so I’ll just have to do another round of what I’ve got now. And then I’ll be getting new Genetics in within the next week or so, so I’ll then get that ready for the round after this next one!

Hey Irie...congrats on the MOTM win!

If you're doing low and slow to preserve the terpenes in the buds then you can let it get down to 62 in the fridge. Or use rice balls (see my sig) to get them down to 62.

If preserving the terpenes doesn't matter, jar them up around 68% and burp them down to 62 over a week. Then you can seal them for the cure!

Hey shed, how long do they have to be jarred up and show 62% for? After 3+ hours I'm around 62%, but after a few more hours I'm around 65-67%

Thanks man, and Nice! hoping to catch a journal of yours pretty soon

If you want a honest number I'd go overnight. 6-8 hours.

Quick update, buds are alternating between soft and slightly dry between burps. After a few hours jarred, rh is ~64%. Few more days and they'll be sealed up for the cure . A few buds are more dry, with stems popping already. I might jar these a bit earlier

 

[barillaro]

First cure officially started. After 12 hours sealed they read 61% rh. Do i just not open the jar for like a month now?

momentarily burp just to release the built up gasses once a week or so. Watch to make sure the RH doesn't rise as more moisture gets released from the core over the next several days.

Got it, thanks em

Quick update. Popcorn buds have been sealed for ~5 days now. The more sativa style buds are sitting around 63%rh after 12 hours, and the indica styled buds have been at 62% for 3 days and have now been sealed for 1 day. Cure has started!

Dark and cool-ish and no peeking!

70-74° in a cupboard that shall no longer be opened

How long can you wait?

 

[barillaro]

How long can you wait?

Based on current supply, about 2 weeks but I'll pick something up and be good for at least a month

 

[barillaro]

Question, now that all buds are ~62%rh and jarred up, do I have to burp them again as cure continues, or do I just leave them for a month or two?

 

[InTheShed]

I leave them jarred as long as they're three weeks from chop. Then another month to cure before anyone gets their hands on them!

 

[irie lion]

Nice job on getting that RH where you want it - it's always difficult keeping your fingers outta the honey jar...

Definitely the plan here as well shed, this was my first time applying myself in a while so I really want some decent product!

Thanks irie ! The purple punch and haze I picked up are helping me stay away from her

 

[barillaro]

So I noticed one of my jars creeped up to 64%rh after about 3 days, after a burp I pulled one of the more larpy buds for a sneak peak.

For being pretty airy and uncured, she's not half bad. Not much taste yet but I'm sure curing will bring it out more. It's almost like a faint warm/spicy taste right now. Not really harsh, but still a little kick to cure out as well

Burns straight to white ash as well
