UPDATE- hey everyone i hope you guys are having a good week. So as you know from the last update, I harvested my mint chocolate og , she has been drying in my grow tent for the last 9 days and she’s been drying very slowly. The outside of the buds are dry but still feel a tad moist in the inside. I have taken 30 g out and let it dry a tad faster , and she still had a beautiful smell , no hay smell what so ever
There is a lot of colours on this stuff , and for my second indoor grow I am impressed. I have a few people to thank for helping me get here @carcass @Kingjoe83 @Pennywise @rmilya and everyone else who gave me such amazing advise. Thanks you 420 family
I was and still am aiming for a 14 day dry.
I am keeping the room my tent is in at 19 degrees Celsius and 50% relative humidity . My tent is currently at 60% Rh. I have the tent sealed off and by the weekend I will be trimming and jarring my harvest , I will keep the 30 g jar and the rest will be set for a long cure. I have enough to last me a month or 2 before I will be opening these to smoke . I will only open to burp them .

Does anyone have any tips for me during this process it would be greatly appreciated

Here are a few pics of my 1 branch trim . That got me. 30g there is still 20 branches to go , this is gonna take a long time to trim.

Here are a few pics

This was the top of the branch I took down to trim

I am so happy with this

This is the branch all together, so I think I will come close to the 7-8 oz range

This stuff smells amazing

This is just a rough trim just to show all the colour in this flower

I hope y’all enjoy these , this is the first grow I’ve had nice colours come in and I’m hooked now. Thanks for taking the time to read and help me with my journal everyone . You all have made me feel every welcome among this family of like minded growers, thank you @420

Brown paper lunch bags could help slow down drying out . Or fridge low and slow method .

Nine days isn't bad . You testing your Buds in a jar dean with hydrometer see where rh stays hangs at after 2-5 hrs I usually check

 

[Pennywise]

Congrats on grow well done!

Hey brother I know I have been neglecting my journal , I honestly haven’t even had time to weigh up my harvest yet , I’ve just been weighing what I take out to add to my final weight when I do get around to it,
Life has been very busy for me lately . I’m going to dedicate the time towards getting it weighed up this weekend, so I can close the journal. Have you got a new one going yet dude ? Or when are you going to start ?

Congrats on a great harvest,Dean!

Congrats on the harvest Dean!

Thank you brother , I really appreciate all your help along the way .

 

[Pennywise]

Do you have a new grow planned?

 

[DeanWest89]

I am waiting for landloards to do their fall inspection then I will be starting again , I am currently building a 2.0 version of the space bucket , it will look very professionally with no light leaks, Also am looking at a 2x3x5 tent with 3 spaces so I can veg and flower or do veg flower and autos but I will probably keep one veg and one flower and every time a plants harvested another will be ready for flower , no more 105 days of veg bullshit just to get a half p , I smoke more then that in 170 days so I need something more consistent not as big of harvests but more often is what I’m aiming for , how do you keep your supply steady penny ?

 

[Pennywise]

I really got ahead when I grew over a pound with 2 Auto Brooklyn Sunrise.

 

[KingJoe83]

Keep a mother and rip clones off her once a month ? Steady supply ?

 

[Pennywise]

Good call Joe.

I would have love to have done a strain review but I got so busy in life I didn’t take any after cured bud photos , I am just about to start another run and will definitely not make the same mistakes in my documenting my grow and harvest Thanks for your support
