Jack herer - day 49, week 7 of flower

Amnesia - day 24, week 3.5ish of flower

Cement shoes - day 28, week 4 flower

Pulled a few more leaves off the cs too. Just stuff under the net not getting much light. Couple more pics.

Everything is looking on track here. Don’t worry about the tent being left opened... a few extra hours one time won’t hurt. Everything’s looking good man! Congrats on the clones!

Thanks @Backlipslide . Been really busy the last week or so, we are in the process of packing every thing and getting ready to move. We'll be moving in June so I should have time to finish all but the clones. But 95% of my spare time has been devoted to painting cabinets, doing yard work, packing, and cleaning. So I've been a little lazy on the journal lately, but not a ton happening, just waiting for time to pass!

Moving can be a stressful time!! Good luck with the move!! You guys moving to a different city, or other side of town?

 

[MightyMoe22]

Just moving about 20 mins from where we are now. Selling our current house and purchasing a farm with some land.

 

[Backlipslide]

That’ll be nice!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Hell yeah, we are pumped!

We're all looking forward to the housewarming party, and you know we'll be bringing some stinky gifts .

Looks good moe!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Jack herer test nug time!

 

[InTheShed]

Nice and frosty! Are you going to quick-dry it?

 

[MightyMoe22]

Its just hanging in the grow room, about 70f 40ish rh

 

[MightyMoe22]

I am getting excited about this amnesia as well. She truly a bush these days!

 

[MightyMoe22]

@InTheShed how does one "quick dry" some nugs?

 

[InTheShed]

Any number of way depending on how "quick" you want it. On top of the DVR would be slow but faster than hanging. Fastest would be if you make a tin foil canoe and put it sitting on top of the toaster slot. Keep an eye on it though, you want it dry and not burned!

It won't taste great but should give you an idea of how it hits.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Right on @InTheShed . I kinda ghetto rigged a little drying box for the cheese, it won't hold much more. I'll snap a pic tomorrow. I hot glued a small 80mm computer fan in the bottom pulling air out, it may have been a little too much though. Because it was barely 6.5 days before the cheese was dry, I've always heard 7-10 days is optimal. If I'd left it 10 days it would have all crumbled to dust i feel. So maybe I had a bit too much airflow with that little fan in the little box. Temp stayed between 60-65, 40-50% rh. I'll have to get a bigger box and try again using the same fan for the Jack. See if I can get a little bit slower dry.

Because it was barely 6.5 days before the cheese was dry, I've always heard 7-10 days is optimal.

If you can slow it down that's great, but don't sweat the difference between 6½ and 7 days. Folks in dry climates may only dry for 3-4 days. A long hang-dry just means you need less burping time before you seal it for the cure. I may be over the top with mine, but I don't seal for 3 weeks from chop, which in my ideal world would be 7 days hanging and two weeks of burping (more time in week 1 and less time in week 2). Then I seal them as close to 62% RH as I can get them with a Boveda 62 and put them away for a month before anyone gets to taste them.

 

[MightyMoe22]

That sounds ideal for sure, once I have a little stash to sit on ill try to follow a similar dry to cure process.

I just felt the cheese dried a bit too fast because it seemed to almost lose its smell. Until you break open or grind a nug.
