Major updates rolling in today. I’ve been a busy assed bee this past weekend (FYI, our weekends are Sun and Mon, in this casa).
First up - “tall” and short autos (surprise autos) were harvested Sunday night. They went into the dark for 24 hours, and as predicted, it was the easiest, fastest harvest ever. The whole wash and trim took an hour for both plants.
Taking the ties off of short auto did not go well. Mr Hybrid decided to help (even though I said not to!) and when I tried to take over, I split the stem straight down the middle, like a bolt of lightning. Not even really sure how it happened, but it did, so I didn’t get any pre-harvest pics of that one.
Pre-harvest “tall” surprise, mystery auto.
And now, for my sad little harvest. I could tuck this behind my ear like an island girl. Maybe if we renew our vows someday?
The biggest thing I learned from this 2/3 of my 2nd grow is that things don’t always go according to plan. I’m happy with myself for not giving up, for embracing the not-so-pleasant surprise of theses photos turning out to be autos, and rolling with it. I got another opportunity to work on my bud washing and trimming skills - which was tough for me last time. Practice makes perfect!
The three stems are hanging in a dark closet and have been for the last couple days. Temp 67-70F and humidity around 46%, but I haven’t checked lately. I may put them in a box, just to slow it down some more??
Happily putting these smallies behind me in my grow resume, and in a few weeks, I’ll be happy to have a little boost in the supply shelves. We’re just about out of the Mango Kush from my first grow and buying form the dispensary sucks more than ever!
Post drying weigh-in, in 3-5 more days (hopefully!)
More updates coming today - stay tuned!!
