I still have a little clean up to do on them as far as leaves go. Tried to get as much as I could but I had time constraints.Congratulations on the harvest! Glad you got the rest down clean.
Plus side I did not see any other areas of suspicion during the harvest so that’s a plus
Now fingers crossed I stay in the clear through drying.
Also thank you Shed for riding along with me and being my voice of reason and your guidance. Much appreciated!

Thanks for tagging alongCongratulations!
Glad you enjoyed the ride
I will report back any updates over the next 10 days and then a final weight per plant and total harvest weight along with a smoke report for each strain.
In the meantime I am preparing for my Purple Ghost Candy comparative grow. Staying SIP and going to SCROG them
going to try and fill the 4x4 with 2 plants.
Diagonally or rectangularly?

Hmm I hadn’t thought about it. I had assumed just rectangular as I only have access to the tent from the front. No side or back access.
Either way you'll be reaching across the the front of the plants to get to the back!

Maybe you should call the journal Ke0ncp's SIP-N-SCROG!Thanks for tagging along

Well this is true. I am leaning towards rectangle as that’s the shape of me lights too
Ohh I might steal the SIP-N-SCROG part. I have a fun name for the grow picked out that revolves around the purple ghost candy theme
Nice heavy harvest!

I might have to toss a bag of rice in there to lower the RH.
Exhaust fan at full speed and intake at 7 of 10 to make a negative air space and RH is right at 59% outside is sitting at 86%.

5lbs of rice might help if you bake it in the oven for a while, otherwise it would be at whatever the RH is in the bag.
Turning off the intake and exhaust fans will also help so you're not working against 86%.

I’m just going to ride it out. Turning the exhaust and intake fans actually increased the RH. I had thought about that as well.
Avg RH was 56.8 for the day since 7am. 60% outside and 51% in the house right now.
I just worried I have too much airflow cruising through the tent and it will speed up the drying process.
I guess I just need to keep an eye on that RH and have the humidifier ready to go just in case
Fortunately with the controller I dont have to be at home to turn on/off/change speed/settings for the fans or humidifier

I think I’m in the clear as far as bud rot or mold goes.
Was able to poke around a little today and see 0 signs.
It’s been just over 24 hours and I think I am going to move to a goal of 55% rh for the next 24 hours and then 60% until they are ready to go to jars.
I have me one of them fancy dancy wood moisture testers arriving tomorrow. If memory serves right I am waiting until 14% to jar. Will need to research that

I find those meters are not as accurate as hygrometers.I think I’m in the clear as far as bud rot or mold goes.

When the buds are slightly crispy on the outside but still feel soft inside place a batch in a jar with a hygrometer.
Your goal is under 70%

Thanks for that! So 70% in jars and burp twice a day until 60% and then cure?

I prefer to put all the buds from each plant into one tote.
Burping a bunch of jars is a PITA
Take the lid off twice a day for a few minutes, my goal is to take a full month to get down to 58% before vacuum sealing in mason jars.
Full process in my signature...

Ohh tote, you find they are air tight enough?
If so that’s a great idea! Can leave the big colas in tact as well that way

Air tight enough for a slow dry/cure !Ohh tote, you find they are air tight enough?

Yes to the big colas, just takes an extra few days....
