I woke up this morning to a strange sound coming from the grow room. At first I thought it was the extraction fan falling apart but when I opened the door to check some cats came running out. They weren't even my cats lol. God knows what they were doing but it was really loud.
Very nice Sye. Sorry for the bud rot, although it could have been a lot worse if you weren't on your game.
Congrats on the harvest brother Sy, she sure is a beautyWonderful branching too.

Grub is competition worthy!
Sounds perfecto eseThank you Mr S! I'm super grateful. And now I feel more like a "real" grower, having confronted one of my worst growing nightmares!
Cheers dear BC! You'll get to try some of it!
LOL! Wha- How???
I would love to have you list the creatures that you've found in your grow room thus far.
. Buds look great!
Great wrap up on those two sy! Nice report on Wish and looking forward to seeing how Grub hits you after all you two have been through together
For anyone searching for the rice ball tutorial, it's in my signature.
Those buds look and sound great. Decent numbers for what you're working with too. I tip my hat to you. 
Are they ever! Beautiful
Very kind of you to say.
I’m with you there. I just did the 44th and 45th and so far so good. Still new and exciting each time!
Yes lovely summation there Sy, I will go back and re-read it again and view those pics at least once more. Beautiful looking buds!

I’m getting vicarious stokedness for you too. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

Splendid. Really impressive start to finish. And ounces! And top shelf! Woohoo!
Great grow, great pics, great results. I’m beyond impressed...Cardboard box harvest round-up!
Grub's flowers were officially transitioned into the curing stage today, and I finally got my dry weight from the 2 plants in the cardboard box!
Speaking of which.. here it is, out of its natural habitat (i.e. under my desk).
Wish (HSC Blue Dream auto): 11g
Wee thing!
Grub (Pre '98 Bubba Kush): 45g
Total: 56g / 1.98 oz
I'm really pleased to be pulling such numbers from 45W of light, in little more than a cubic foot of space. It's a miracle. This is also my first grow/harvest of "named" lines, which made this even more exciting for me.
Wish (HSO Blue Dream auto) experience report
Wish's flowers went into the cure after about 2 weeks drying low and slow in the fridge, with an in-jar RH of 65. The flowers have now been curing for 2.5 weeks.
Appearance-wise, they are gorgeous. Mint green. Frosty, with those elongated trichomes for extra drama.
Smell-wise, not the strongest, but very pleasant nonetheless. Leads with a mango-berry tangy note, before collapsing into a more general basement funk.
Effect-wise, I find this a very very pleasant smoke. A mildly giddy, euphoric high, uplifting and fairly active in the head. A nice thrum in the bones settles in a bit later, rounding out the head buzz with a pleasant body stone. I guess this is what a good all-rounder feels like! It was very easy to get on with small chores and activities while cranking some tunes.
Grub (Pre '98 Bubba Kush) enters the cure zone
These flowers are going into the jar VERY LOUD after drying in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
And oh my goodness are they gorgeous!
I ran into the issue where the smaller flowers were a little over-dried (about 55% in-jar) and the bigger ones under-dried (about 71% in-jar). It meant I got to try out a couple of different humidity adjustment techniques!
I'm aware that dipping below 55% RH can affect the curing, so I was relieved the small flowers were on the margin. I put in a Boveda 62 just to see what it would do. I'm aware also that some of my fellow growers here don't really like Boveda packs, but it's a good opportunity to see for myself. The pack has brought the RH back to 61-62%.
As for the still-a-little-wet larger flowers, I used some uncooked rice as desiccant, following @InTheShed 's directions. Worked beautifully. RH is now down at 64%.
I'm so pleased with this harvest. Like SO STOKED. OMG! What perfect timing to visit @DonkeyDick 's garden to have some benchmarks set for what great flowers should smell and taste like, too.
I cannot wait to try out the Grubba flowers in a couple of weeks.
Little late to the party as usual but beautiful harvest sy! That Grub is an awesome little plant.Cardboard box harvest round-up!

Evocative descriptions of smell and tone - perfect way to describe how upfront aromas can hit and then dissipate. Such an elusive sensory connect.
Cracking tunes for getting stuff done around the house while high on your own grown - that’s the good life!
Little late to the party as usual but beautiful harvest sy! That Grub is an awesome little plant.
....a Bubba's Breath!
