Ace Panama, Groot, In High Brix

I use to dry in my grow room too, and it works fine. I set up a new tent just for drying now. I stays at 50-60*f and a contro, exhaust fan, and charcoal filter to keep the humidity between 55-60%. It is pitch dark in there, and I have a hepa filter on the intake, figured if I’m gonna wash the buds, need to keep as much dust out of the dry tent.

My dry times went from 4-5 days in the grow room to 9-14 days in the tent with way more terpenoids being preserved, at least to my taste. Then I start the cure. Without saying anything, friends noticed the difference in the final produce, namely the taste and smoothness of the smoke.


That sounds perfect. Just the same way tabacco is best at 70f/70rh, cannabis is best at 60f/60rh. If left in that environment and allowed to achieve that balance slowly over time it will be the best it can be. How do you keep the tent cool?

That is a nice easy way to remember the numbers Gov!

I grow in a climate controlled clean basement, which naturally has a winter/summer swing in temps 50/60*f

In the grow room (which is two sealed insulated rooms in the basement) I supplement with heaters and of course the lights generate heat, to keep things 68-80*f.

The drying tent is separate from the grow rooms, and pulls in the filtered ambient and dehumidified (50%RH) basement air which is 50-60*f season dependent. The exhaust controller (ink bird) is set to exhaust if RH gets over 60%. The first day I knock that Number down to 55% just to dry the wash water quicker, then up to 60% for the rest till ready to cure.

I keep my basement clean, hepa vacuumed, and clutter free.
 
Ok gang, have some fresh and old pics of Groot. Was wanting to show the growth in the 6 days since transplant.
First up are pics I already posted, just for reference.
Groot Day of flip:


Groot day 4 of flip:


Groot day 6 flip: She's got some purple on the leaves... but I can not seem to capture on camera.






And now a small bug from Noel, dried.... ready for cure.


Also, Groot was sprayed with Brix today (6ml+water 7oz)
Thanks for looking gang!!
 
Perfect color and posture! :bravo:

And that purple on the undersides of the leaves is exactly the coloration I got on my purple Panama pheno. :slide:

W00t!
 
That plant looks about as good as it can get. I'm really looking forward to watching it ripen.

My Panama(+) are a little off. Not in danger, but not perfect either. I'll snag a pic this eve or tomorrow. My cut of Neiko's clementine is a powerhouse. It's a week post-flip and kicking into overdrive. The cool thing is I pinched off a couple leaves today (as I do sometimes...kinda like a bonsai sesh), and I'll be damned if it didn't smell just like clementines. I don't remember Neiko saying it was on point like that.
 
Killing it Daj! :high-five:

She is Beautiful!
Thanks Ween! Doc does make it easy!!

You might just want to get a order in now for more curing jars, that gal is going to be great.
:rofl: I sure hope so Meds! She's putting on quite the show! I do, however, have way too many unused jars now... would love to fill them all!
Perfect color and posture! :bravo:

No kidding eh? May I ask what the buzz is like? Taste, smell... would love a sneak peek! Thank you for the compliment kind sir!

Thanks Gov! You get me excited talking like that... I am very much looking forward to seeing her set buds and beyond, good times.
Yes please drop some pics here if you like, I would love to see! Wish I was close to you guys, Neiko's clementine sounds awesome! So its only a week into flower and already has that beautiful smell? That is gonna be an awesome specimen Gov... you're very lucky sir.

Thanks for stopping in gang... and for all the kind words. I would love to take full credit... but @Doc Bud gets most of it. As I said above, he makes this so easy. I am very grateful to him and the whole gang for helping me along the way!

Nice!!!!!!!! You got to be proud of that one.

The buzz was a typical Panama, a little thick and dreamy. It had a cedar/pine/vanilla aroma and taste - very piney. Really fun to watch the color develop at the end. :slide:

Hey there Eggs! Yes sir, I am pretty proud of her. She’s doing pretty well!

Mmmm, nice... that sounds great! I’ve been smoking way to many indica dominant strains... time for something new! Thank you for your description of her, sounds like I’ll like it a lot!

Yeah Gov, I guess that I've just gotten used to her smelling great right from the start. She is my highest testing terpene strain. The way you dial in plants you might be able to break 3% Terps with her. My best test was 2.67%. It's about 75% myrecene.
 
Beautiful Dajerm. She's a picture of health. I can't wait to see her progress. It be so cool if you got the purple one. Good thing you cloned her.

Hey there neikodog, yes sir I am happy I cloned her. Was on the fence if I wanted to keep any of them, seeds seem to do best with me. But she’s a vigorous grower so I’ll go ahead and run her twice in a row... maybe 3 if I really like it! Thanks for stopping by!
 
That what I’m talking about!:thumb:

Love the young mint green color of the new growth, and the shine of the mature leaves.

Yep Doc makes it easy, You get half the credit though man, obviously your environment is dialed in, you read your plants well, and understand how to use the kit.:rollit:

Gov you’re making my mouth water talking about that Clementine like that!

Thanks Dopy! That really means a lot to me. Hoping to put more shine on those ladies soon... I bet after she gets a full TP drench she'll be even happier. I can hardly wait to see the root ball on this one at harvest, since she's so much more vigorous than the last ones I have run, I can only imagine it'll be a nice, dense 10gal rootball!
 
Ok, just a quick update on Groot. She is now 9 days since flip, and man is she stretching!




Don't mind the distorted leaves here and there, its just from that Little Blizzard fan. It is probably too powerful for such a little guy...
