Harvest Report: Bubba Hash #1
Another gorgeous spring day for harvest. Well, actually it was hot! And the morning was really foggy so I delayed a bit until mid-late morning. I think you can tell that the angle of sun is bit different to the usual, I can tell
I couldn’t resist getting more pics in the sunlight!
Still a few clear ones here - it could easily have gone another 4-5 days.
But on this one everything looks totally perfect to me in terms of ripeness.
Ready!
Bubba’s tribute!
Washed and hanging to dry.
I made a new collective noun...
a hand of colas
Drying in the tent now. Not sure why this photo went all pink
there’s a red lamp way on the other side of the room, maybe that was enough. In any case, you get the idea. My cut to size piece of garden fencing is now serving some other function in the garden and couldn’t be located but these 2 thin strips were lying about and worked just fine. I strung them up using the ends of the lighting ratchet ropes
The tall oscillating fan, fyi, is pointing into the corner.
Since then it’s been howling north westerly winds outside - warm dry ones. So much so I’ve needed the humidifier a bit which is crazy seeing as I was running the dehuey while drying the others
Today I was a bit concerned about things drying too quickly so I trimmed a lot of the smaller, lower, buds into a jar and sealed it up for a while. It got to 70% RH in the jar on an hour so that’s relaxed me a bit about it drying too fast.
Still, the smaller stems are getting snappy so I’m trimming all the lowers into paper bags today. The big ones can stay hanging for a while longer I hope.
Putting them in the jar for a bit really cranked up the terps of course!
Lime coffee anyone?
These are a couple of quick iPhone snaps of some lowers while I was trimming (loosely) - pretty dense they are, too. Such pretty colours under the sugar leaves.
I won’t consider this grow run done and dusted until I have this Bubba Hash stable in jars. I’m hoping that will be within the next 10 days as I need to go away soon and want it to be able to be left for a week or so without attention.
Now it’s time for this Gardner to have a sleepy Sunday. I recorded a whole lot of surfing finals from Supertubos in Portugal (super tubes
) and a stoney day in front of that sounds pretty perfect.
Hope you all are having a great weekend with a goodly amount of rest amongst the good times.
