GratefulBud's Summer 2023 Outside Grow

[NickHardy]

I'm calling that a 12oz harvest Grateful! Someday someone with some spare change will THC test the tops vs the popcorn, but in the meantime it all counts.

what many growers consider a whole plant, still!

Thinking of anyone?

I’ll do it when the current “Main Grow” harvests in say two weeks so 4 weeks from now I’ll be OK getting it tested.

I’m curious as well.
Smoking they seem to be just as strong.

I'll do almost anything . . .

Awesome song - how good does the beach look through the windows behind them?!

Still have 12 bags in the mini fridges drying (takes about 14-15 days), and a bunch still in the drying box.
Two weeks ago the drying box was taking 5-6 days. A little quick but it was hot and dry and the AC ran to keep the temps down, but that dried the air even more. For the past week it has been cool and humid (over 80% at night) so this batch is still not quite dry. Currently inside the box has been 70-80% RH. Not ideal but the fan runs 24/7. Buds still feel very moist. Humidity will drop way down tomorrow. Hopefully I can bag em when they are around 62-64%. I'll put in Turkey bags for a few days, then into jars.

Just smoked a few puffs of Mimosa and the effect is really nice! Taste is pretty good. Not great yet but should improve in a few weeks.

Please let that be the most disturbing thing I see today, I can’t take more than that

Great harvest dude and slick dry setup!

Thanks Nick!
I really need humidifier / dehumidifier to do it right. Shooting for 60/60 but it has been a struggle. Either too dry or too humid. I got a bunch dried in the fridge as well. Doing a comparison.

Weed for dayzzzzzzzz.

Nights too!

Nice harvest Grateful. It looks great nicely done.

Congrats on the bountiful harvest, GB!
12 ounces of weed's a pretty good Birthday present...

Hopefully I can bag em when they are around 62-64%. I'll put in Turkey bags for a few days, then into jars.

Mine goes into the jars at apx. 66-67%- since I can't get mine to take longer than 6 days drying in the drying box, I'm hoping an extra week of burping will "simulate" a longer drying time...
I don't know if it does anything for the taste or not, but it does seem to keep more of the smell intact..

Nice harvest Grateful. It looks great nicely done.

Thanks Keith!

We are now in the critical phase - cure. If I screw this up all my efforts have been wasted.
This time I put half in the mini fridges to dry and the other half in the drying box. We'll see which one turns out a better product.

I've actually got about 18oz currently in jars, and another 12oz or so in the drying box.
Most of it will be given away.

I'm thinking you are correct.

I pulled one jar from the box that was 66% and another jar from the fridge was 67%. Both jars smelled great as I was burping them down - currently ~64%. Not as nice smell a week later but still no grassy odor. I'll burp maybe once more in 7 days, then leave em. Same with all other jars - if no grassy odor and they are around 62% I'll leave sealed.
Hoping that is the ticket.

A few other jars went right down to 56-58% range so I only burped once or twice so far. Not a great smell yet but fingers crossed. I put a few small fresher buds in each jar to raise RH. Helped a little bit.

I pulled about an ounce of the Critical Kush into a jar this morning and this evening it is only 65% RH.

So I cleaned up the remaining CK from the box and put all into one turkey bag. Weighs 196 grams. Not sure how much the bag and tape weighs but the buds gotta be over 6oz. Should I split into 2 bags?

Thanks Shed!

It got really dry this evening so I decided to pull the remaining SFV OG from the drying box. Now in 3 different turkey bags - about 90grams in each bag. Should be close to 68%RH in the turkey bags in the morning. Going to be dry and windy next 2 days and I did not want to over dry it.
