Sticky!

Yes she is! You know the drill half way through your flicking buds off your fingers.

As I sat there hunched over, shoulders, neck and back all aching, knees trembling holding a damn 5 gallon bucket between them as I trimmed I thought over and over, time to get one of them fancy bud trimmers!
 
I’m taking the Banner and Wedding Gelato over to a buddies place tonight for some assistance in trimming.

Also taking a great JGB 5 album box set over to listen to as well :) good times!

Will have final weigh ins for them tonight and probably a few pictures. I was lazy last night and didn’t get any….
 
And that’s a wrap!

6 oz of Watermelon
3.4 oz of Wedding Gelato
2.7 of of Banner

12.1 oz in total this harvest

Wedding Gelato still has a strong smell of hay. Hopefully after a good trimming and air out tonight that smell starts to fade over the next week or so. Her buds really tightened up!

Banner is just wow! Tight buds, dense and smells great!

I’m going to move this journal to the completed section but will probably still update it in a couple of weeks with some pictures of each and a smoke report if I’m not too lazy!

Thanks to all that hung on for the ride, helped me when I needed it and all of the great advice!!
 
Congrats on the haul Ke0ncp! The hay smell is usually chlorophyll that hasn't had a chance to dissipate, so keep burping it and it should go away soon. :thumb:
 
So the Wedding Gelato might be a complete loss. I think the whole harvest smells of bud rot and not the hay smell I was describing.

I’m going to let the cure process ride and see how she smells and if it still smells like ass I am gifting to a lucky homeless person :Rasta: :ganjamon: :lot-o-toke:
 
Do you see any rot? If you don't see anything visible, take a scope and look through a bunch of buds to see if you find any mold.

I didn’t see any but good idea. I’m going to pull out the scope now and see if I can spot anything. It smells foul though :(

Thanks for the suggestion!
 
I have heard folks positively describe their flowers as smelling like shit, cat piss, diesel fuel, and wet dog. Maybe it's supposed to smell awful! ;)

Let me put my best sommelier spin on this.

This beautiful example here has the overtones of ripe puppy shit after it has sat in the car baking on a hot vegas august afternoon. I do detect some undertones of rotten garlic along with the distinct smell of hot vomit and trash.
 
I’m not seeing any sign or mold or rotten looking anything. Put the jewelers hood on and all.

Kind of hard to get pics right now but these are colas I just broke open.

This spot is suspect but might be fine in person:

Rather than consider poisoning a homeless person, can you leave them out in a dry place (55% RH) for a few days to see what happens (if you can stand the smell)?
 
Yeah probably not a bad idea…

Let me do that and see what happens. I don’t want to get myself or anyone else sick, unless they are into puppy shit bud!
 
Ok seems the smell went away, however now they don’t smell of much and I might have let it go too long at 50% RH. I just dropped a 75% Boveda pack into the bag and will let that go and check up on it in the am.

All other grove bags are smelling great and keeping the RH right at 60% excited to see how they shape up over the next few weeks. I will then break them up into 1oz grove bags so that I can break into an oz at a time :)

Party on Garth!

Stick them in jar without a humidity pack and see where they settle by morning. That will tell you what shape they're in for curing.

@Weaselcracker did some great testing on overdried and rehydrated buds, and his basic results were:

the overdried then rehydrated bud definitely seems to lack some terpenes. It seems less fumey in the nose, and I think also has a bit of a bitter off-note in the scent. I also detected this difference when smoking it.

Some of the nastiest stinkers have been the most elegant tasting and silky mouth feeling smokes from my garden. Just be sure it's not moldy. Looks clean from my house but look good.

Yeah I’m going to check them here in a bit and see what’s doing with them. The smell has pretty much gone away but I wanted too rehydrate the buds a bit and see if it came back or if the smell just blew off.

Yeah that’s my biggest concern. I looked pretty good the other night and wasn’t able to find anything but maybe there is 1 bad bud in the bunch that’s doing all the stinking it up nonsense
 
As I was poking around in the garden this afternoon I membered that I have the revegged, I think its the Watermelon, thats out in the garden. I have not watered or fed her and she is still alive, granted we got 6" of rain in May....

I have some Bloom GeoFlora that I am going to toss on the top and just top water her. I am basically just going to abuse the crap out of the plant and see if it produces anything haha.

Then next spring I can plan a little better and move my harvested plants out to the garden and actually take care of them, maybe LOL
 
:goodluck:
 
Gave a once of each to a buddy with the strong warning that there might be mold on/in the wedding gelato.

I got a text message that said him and his band mates smoked the WG and the results were “💪”

So I am assuming it’s good :)
