First Grow Ever - Humboldt Dream 2024

[StarkRaven]

I'm gonna hang the buds after I wet trim them and jar them when the buds stems snap. Gonna burp once a day for 2 weeks then close them and try to space the burpings until each jar is at a stable 65% humidity and from there I want to trap the gasses of the terpens for 6 months when I know mold won't be an issue and my moisture stops rising.

Thoughts on washing my weed as soon as I cut it? I'm planning on using cold water with h202 and a tablespoon of baking soda and just dipping each branch in real fast to clean off anything that could be left from the grow.

If you don't have PM you can save the money on the H2O2, but if you go with baking soda you should add lemon juice to balance it out. I've just been using warm tap water these days to wash off the Dr Bronner's and BT along with the dead bugs, dust, and dog hair.

Thank you I was wondering about that I want to clean off diatomaceous earth and any dead insects that could potentially be there. Better safe then sorry.

Only things I used for pest control was the diluted soap with strained garlic powder and diatomaceous earth it did wonders but the ants here love my plants lol probably because I feed them molasses non stop...

I'd avoid getting DE on the flowers as it works its way deep inside and doesn't get washed out. Not a good idea to inhale that stuff. If you're just going to edibles then it's fine though.

All my microbes are sugar junkies or diabetic by now. probably gonna die off now that I'm just using water poor little junkies. Maybe I should inject some insulin in the soil for them hahaha jk jk I do feel bad though my little sugar slaves

No diatomaceous was on flowers! Just the soil around my plants not even in the bags

I thought it takes up too 6 months to cure properly?

should be good at 4 weeks. minimum tweo weeks. taste and smell changes often and after 6 month uit prolly is really smooth. ive never heard that atleast a long time agp back in the day. idk my weed never lasts that long haha

 

[TechnicianGrower]

[TechnicianGrower]
