OK guys here we go. Today was harvest day after 48hrs lights out. I noticed during harvest some of the larger stems were hollow is that normal?
Pulled her out of the tent and chopped her up, left some of the bigger tops together will trim them up after she dries but...
Holy fuck 452g harvest weight.
I then followed doc buds bud washing plan
1st pail 4 gal warm water and 1 gal hydrogen peroxide.
2nd pail warm water 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup lemon juice
3rd pail 5gal hot water
4th pail 5 gal cold water.
Dipped and agitated in each pail for approximately 30sec each. The buds weren't as dirty as I expected but they sure looked nice afterwards. It was kind of neat they made a different sound when inserting them into the cold water.
Then hung to drip for a while
Completed my drying cabinet yesterday. 2 PC cooling fans I picked up at a rummage sale for $ 0.25 each. Built the pencil cup carbon scrubber for the exhaust and still have to install a carbon filter on the intake. The cabinet is 26" wide x 29" high x 22" deep. I put my seed mat in the bottom for heat but don't think it's gonna be enough because with that and a 100w cfl going its only at 67 degrees but I have to install a seal on the door in the morning which I'm sure will make a difference
After washing everything was hung to drip dry for a while then gently shaken to remove excess water
And here is a couple of buds before washing
