DNA Lemon Skunk Hempy Grow

[Siscokid]

Nice video! what was that crackling sound?

Heya T, I had the camera lens in the same hand that was holding the camera, it was rubbing or something on it. I'll have to remember not to do that anymore.

I love it Sisco! Have you ever dried like that before? My room is about 55 degrees 40 rh I think that will work great, the samples are drying nice and slow.

I'll bet you have been nuking some trichs and that smoke is stronger than you think.

I put them in the oven on warm for an hour or two that seems to work really well. It's an old gas stove have no idea what the temps are but it's pretty warm.

Great harvest my friend!

How are your clones looking?

Hey Blue, my Rh is @ 48-52 and temps go from 63-75 I hung my plants in the veg closet before, so it's sort of the same thing, just didn't use bags.

As for the quick dry in the micro I guess the potency may have been degraded some.. but no problems man, I'm still going to enjoy the goods, sure do wish we could all hang out and sample each others ladies. Just drop your keys into the jar at the door.


I hope the smoke is a little better after the dry, I know the taste will improve.

Clones are doing good, roots are bigger than the plants, I'll be transfering to mini-hempy's tonight. Found some 22oz cups at dolla stow, bit bigger than the 18 oz cups I'm currently using.

Hey sisco first time grower and was going to go the hempy route with osmocote + as nutes,how would i flush my plant when the tim comes if they never dissolve?

Smoke 1, I don't think you will be able to flush the CRF, but Bluedog and others say you can't taste them in the smoke.... Something I am not familiar with. I'm using the FF trio pack.

I dont know if it's the videos or all the other cool shit you do Sisco, but this thread is always one of my faves to check out! I cant wait for some more of that frosty porn!!!

It's The Bandito420! I'm blushing Thanks for hanging out and the same goes to you my man

Hey Sisco looking good!

Quick question do you run the bubbles 24/7? How bout lighting?

This is from Thinkerr on SS's last thread. I know you don't have the Caliber III they talk about (btw get one or five if you can they're awesome), so just use your walmart room temp/humidity gauge. Jar some bud, even stem on, stick the gauge in and seal it. Store in a room temp dark place. This should let you know how dry the crop is. I've got the same gauge as you and it's pretty accurate, I compared it to the Cal III.

Otherwise you're just guessing. Good luck my friend.

this is what irishboy has been posting for curing ----------

It's a very simple and effective process:

Cut the product, trim it per your preference, but don't dry it until the stems snap. Take it down while the stems still have some flex, but the product feel dry on the outside. This is a perfect opportunity to drop the dry-feeling flowers onto a screen and collect prime-quality kief that would otherwise get lost in the jar.

Jar the product, along with a Caliber III hygrometer. One can be had on Ebay for ~$20. Having tested a number of hygrometers - digital and analog - this model in particular produced consistent, accurate results. Then, watch the readings:

+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.

65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.

60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.

55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period (3 months or more) without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.

Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet. If you measure a RH below 55% don't panic. Read below:

Obviously, the product need time to sweat in the jar. As such, accurate readings won't be seen for ~24 hours, assuming the flowers are in the optimal cure zone. If you're curing the product for long-term storage, give the flowers 4-5 days for an accurate reading. If the product is sill very wet, a +70% RH reading will show within hours. If you see the RH rising ~1% per hour, keep a close eye on the product, as it's likely too moist.

I'll be diggin' it too~ Thanks for checking in, nice paint job and trinkets on the SSV

Well come over man, I got some fresh trim to make some space cakes too!

Your clones can go straight to flower, that's what I did with that "Cup O' Bud" didn't even veg..

I'm lovin the cup-o-bud as well, you should enter her into POTM I'm gonna put one of my little GDPs in

I've never used paper bags for drying so I can't comment on it really but if you think your bud is too crispy on the outside you could try putting them in a jar for a couple hours before you put them in bags. This will get them to sweat a little so you get some moisture to the outside again. I'm still a noob and this is just a thought

ha ha, POTM... That plant may be a little small even for Nug of the month.

That is a very interesting thought, I sort of went over that same idea myself. But what I did is sort of that, I took and manicured all the plants. I then took each plant and layed them in a cardboard box, a peice of newspaper is separating each stran. The box is sitting in the same closet, just don't want the wife to chop my head off for stinking up her clothes

I'm thinking I'll have to get the drying process figured out, it just has to be in that closet for the winter.

Hi Sisco!

You and Blue and others or leaving me behind as for as drying goes. Even gages to tell how dry they are!

My old way must be bad. Hang em in a box for three days without opening. Then put them in a paper bag for a couple of days and moving them around every once in a while. Then to jars, opening everyday 2 or 3 times a day of about a week. Then sealed in the jars for a while. It works though!

My apologize BD, I don't know how I could have missed this VERY COOL INFO
I'm going to try that ASAP!

BLUEDOG!

Man I'm sorry for jumping around, but you know how it is, "one toke over the line"

Yes, 24/7 and the lights are more than a foot away, Cfl's... my video should show where they are from the lights.

Here's a little update on the drying part...

I think it's pretty self explanitory

The Jar with the LS is in a dark and room temp area. I'll check it first thing in the morning.

Thanks again for all the help good buddy!

Hey OMM we need all the modern tricks to try and match your years, decades and borderline centuries of growing experience

Haha my crop from last grow that I thought was pretty cured had been sitting at about 75% rh for months in jars, luckily it was very chilly or it would have all molded on me.

Once we know what we're looking for I think we'll be much more able to eyeball it like you can, but in the meantime this is a good way not to lose the crop to mold or too much dryness.

Looks good my friend. I can't take the credit, but it is great info to have.

I've found that I get a good reading in a matter of say 2 hours. It doesn't change much if at all after that.

Stuff that I think feels pretty dry usually measures much moister. I'm sure there's no way you've overdried anything yet.

Good luck!

Hey OMM, how the heck are ya'? Well, as for me everything seems to be good as it can be for now. I sort of paniced when felt some of the outer buds getting a little crispy.

I did like Firestone suggested and stuck them in a tight spot to get moist again, but then BlueDog and Yourself helped me with the final decision on testing and drying the proper way.

Much thanks to you for the tips, nothing like having such great peeps to watch over me and my buds. Thanks again my friend and wish you the best on the Cage of Green!

Well, woke up and checked the jar..72% is where it's at so I took them out to dry for another day.

Thanks a bunch to you all and keep those sticky green thumbs crossed for me

 

[Barry Manilow]

Hey buddy here in my room it's about 65 degrees 40% rh. I've found hanging them in an open box without fans I'm losing almost 5% per day. So I'd check again tonight.

Once in the jars they lose moisture very slowly, less than 1% a day if you burp 2-3 times.

And the exterior crispiness mostly goes away, the moisture in the core rehydrates the outer leaves.

Good luck my friend.

I'm going to try and run it exactly like that post says to do.

 

[Siscokid]

Just did the math, wanted to stick it in here before I forget.

The LS was Chopped down on 2-6 @ Day 78 of 12/12

The "EB Gang" came down on 2-7 @ Day 64 of 12/12

Wait a minute, do you mean you chopped something down already? What did I miss?

I'll use that as a guide too

Hey Seeeescooooo.... I've chopped 2 ak48 branches and 2 bagseed branches, maybe 2 oz wet. Plus I've still been trying to finish the cure on my first grow, so that's where I'm getting my info from.

I'm sampling the bagseed now, it's pretty good. It won't be long now for both of them and the bk is not far behind.

 

[Siscokid]

Oh, so I did miss something. Congrats Blue, hope that last years crop does you proud too.

 

[Barry Manilow]

Thanks bro. That first crop pretty much sucks but maybe with a cure it will be a little better.

When I put in the new light I had to rearrange things and those branches were in the way, that's the ak I've been smoking up. The bagseed isn't as good, I just tried it earlier. But it's better than anything from my first grow and hopefully will really amber up. Most of my trichs are still clear, some cloudy almost no amber. If this ak gets much more potent omfg.

 

[Siscokid]

Cool, so how much longer? I think you mentioned a thread or site that gives info on harvesting.. where did it go?


This is what I'm going by, just not going by 12/12, going by pistils forming.

The Lemon Skunk is a good yielder that will grow tall with a high calyx ratio. These Cannabis Seeds grow great smelling buds that are green with thick orange hairs make her one of the sweetest and tastiest strains if cut down between 50 - 56 days.

The Lemon Skunk has a special place in our hearts and our Trophy Cabinet!

Flowering Period: around 8 Weeks

I hope she's perfect for you. I wish my trichs would turn, I'm so ready to harvest.

I'll pm you that link

 

[NorCaliwood]

I also have a dna genetics Lemon Skunk going. It looks way satvia tho. Had alot of stretch tho even after the bushmasters drench. I do swear by bushmasters. Just like 3-4 mills per gallon once when you start the 12/12 cycle. Seems to do what is promised, stacking the bud sites and min stretch. Hope that skunk turns out good for you as well as mine. Keep em Green
