6 Ladies Cloned Trifecta, 2019, Indoor 4x8 LED

Truth... would you reuse the water from last night or switch it out?

 

[InTheShed]

H2O2 changes to H2O and O pretty quickly. I used new wash water every day.

 

[AdaminCO]

There is a version of bud washing that includes really hot water. I don't buy into that. I use water straight from the tap (hose). 3% H2O2 doesn't do anything negative to the trichomes (Jorge Cervantes recommends it). It just turns into oxygen and water in short order.

After I wash I shake the branches out and hang them in the shade with a box fan on them for 4 hours or so, while I take off the fans and trim (I prefer to wet trim). Then I hang them to dry for (I hope) a week. I like the drying area in the upper 50s or low 60s as I know they won't dry too fast. The longer the better.

When the stems crack without breaking, I cut the buds into turkey roasting bags and burp them twice a day for a week, then once a day for a week, and get them down as close to 62% RH as possible. Then they go into jars with Boveda 62s for at least 3 weeks curing before anyone gets a crack at them.

So from chop, that's six weeks before they're fired up!

Out of curiosity, why the bags, then jars vs. straight into the jars?

Jack #2 is hanging...

This one I let sit outside of the room in the semi darkness for 24 hours before I trimmed. The buds seemed a lot more lush, green, and sticky.

Piling on the weed...most excellent!

I've changed to the Derbybud burping method of using turkey roasting bags, because it's much easier, faster, and more effective to open 2 bags rather than 6 jars two times a day! And they get a lot more air circulation in a bag than in a jar.

At this point I'm burping 6 bags rather than close to 20 jars that I don't even own yet .

I’m waiting to take this monster down...

 

[AdaminCO]

Got some Boveta 62% 76g, in 1/2 gallon jars.
Jack #1 set for cure. I was hoping they’d go the full week, but didn’t want to risk over drying. Stems cracked, but didn’t break.

Still have #2 hanging...

4 more alive... another week or so.

 

[InTheShed]

Still gotta burp them for two weeks! Can't seal them for the cure a week after chop or they won't have a chance to dump the chlorophyll.

Yeah I have them in a dark cool spot. 65F @58% in the jar when I went down to burp them this morning. Im going to turn and burp them twice for two weeks, then once a day for a week like you said.

 

[InTheShed]

Excellent plan!

 

[AdaminCO]

I have never smelt pot like this before. It has a vanilla berry smell to it. Can’t wait for the final product.
The monster bud (Afghan) is about ready. Thinking sometime this week.
Should be a lot easier harvest.

 

[InTheShed]

Got a shot of the clones?

 

[AdaminCO]

I just cleaned up the bottoms. Trimmed them up 8-10” from the dirt.

 

[Pennywise]

Looking good Adam

Thanks man! The clones are very healthy looking compared to the original clones they came from.

Crazy!

 

[Pennywise]

Hope you find a keeper clone for a mom.

Trim them up 8" from the bottom and you get to bury them 8" deep when you transplant! More roots, thicker trunk, and fewer worries about headroom .

You lost me there.
This is what I meant after I trimmed.
There was a bunch of small stuff at the bottom.

 

[InTheShed]

Sorry, I meant that once you trim everything off the lower 8", you can bury that 8" into the pot when you transplant. That lower trunk will grow new roots, will make your plant 8" shorter, and make the trunk more stable.

No shit! That’s pretty freaking cool. I was wishing they were shorter. I don’t want to top these though. Do I need to scrap the sides of the main like I did the clones?
