FutRfarmers First Grow With QB's & Doc's High Brix

[FutRfarmer]

Humidity in the jars is a little low, range from 40-60, smell is amazing. Any tips on bringing the humidity up? also temps in the jars are 67. I'm loving this BB for sure and Amnesia Lemon is getting insanely frosty

 

[weenmeoff]

I saw someone suggest bringing jars into bathroom during hot shower open jars. I'm not sure but as long as you don't let em get to moist. How do buds feel, crispy or still spongy?

 

[Captain Cannabis]

I know this is gonna sound crazy but, my Grandmother used damp cotton balls or unscented tampons. She'd put either one in a film container, poke some holes in the lid, and drop it in the Mason jar for a couple of hours a day, until the humidity rose up.

 

[Duggan]

Captain,..very cool. Love hearing how people used to do stuff....but...but,.i'm gettin so old now that some of the stuff i used to do would qualify...lmao...wat about putting a lil pc of apple or orange peel in the jars. Used to do that with my pipe tobacco a long time ago....

 

[Captain Cannabis]

I suggested the cotton base, as it has no effect on taste or aroma. I know some folks get picky about their flavor and all.

 

[Duggan]

Nothin but a bunch a weed snobs..high brix ner de well's....friends a mine...

Do you have any fresh leave from plants that are still growing? If so put one to two fan leaves in each jar.

 

[FutRfarmer]

Buds are still very nice, will try the fresh fan leave, I also can get the humidity up in the grow room now without all the fans and lights running, that seems to help. The jars smell amazing and it’s only been a day

 

[FutRfarmer]

Amnesia lemon is on her dark period, I’ll be pulling the rest of her fan leaves, chopping and doing a whole plant dry. I’m interested to see the difference

 

[FutRfarmer]

Also anyone have any experience with rosin press? Or a preferred brand for the hone owner that isn’t 3k

 

[FutRfarmer]

Looks so small in the 5x5 alone. She’s put on weight though nice and floppy

 

[DopyLemontree]

Nice haul! Those weights are impressive.

My approach with the cure is to get them in the jars before too dry, (before the stem snaps) and monitor the humidity, removing the covers when they above 62% rh, dumping out the bud for an hour if it goes above 70%, and just keep going back and forth till it stabilizes at 62% with the cover on. Then the cure can begin, and after a couple of weeks I notice the hits are much smoother.

Do I need to burp the jars once they are stable at 62ish% I plan on jarring the amnesia lemon in stages to try different methods. I did notice the LSD is a little harsh but all smoke very nice. And I’m very excited about the yields!! Much more then I intended on. I also have about 2 zips of each from trimming I didn’t include in those weights, I’ll probably get a press and try out dabs or what ever they are called

 

[Duggan]

Mornin to ya Farmers,..about your question on drying/curing. Once RH has gotten down to proper levels,..do not keep burping the jars as this halts the curing process, and it needs to start all over again. If too much moisture has left the produce , there will not be enough moisture for a proper 'cure' to take place. cheers eh and once again, congrats on a very successful harvest!
