Hi there !
Harvest :
I got a surprisingly good weight out of this single White Widow !
Drying went a bit too fast, as usual, even if I put my colas into a box (compartmentalized, wine bottle card-box).
It's just f... dry in my house, even with 2 humidifiers running in the pot room.
After seeing that the colas were drying too fast even in the card-box...
I dumped them all into a white plastic trash bag. Removed a maximum of air and I also put a humidity meter in there.
RH in the bag remained between 50 and 58% for several days (I was out of mason jars, so that did the trick).
Buds are at 50-ish % RH now, and I weighted the buds as they went into jars.
Water-curing :
Last weekend, I put some buds (smaller buds that detached from the colas before drying) in a jar with water.
Every day I change the water and measure the ppms of the used water.
It went approx... 1000/500/250/120/60/34 ppms. As you can see it's divided by ~2 each day.
A few more days... should be down to 18/9/5/etc.
The smell in the jar is not exactly nice. I wonder if the smell will disappear as well as the ppms...
Smoke:
I vaped some dried (not cured) ww last night. I went easy, but de high was good, not overwhelming at all.
The taste is not right though. Most bad tasting bud I had from my grows. Probably because of too much nutes.
I hope the curing (even if the drying went too fast) will get them to taste better.
