Nice harvest M9! wow so many harvests on 420 this week! do you have your cardboard box ready to hang them?

Thanks Vlad. And thanks all you guys for the nice words.
Yeah it's pretty awesome seeing all the harvests at this time of year! Before I joined this forum I worked away cluelessly in the grow, torturing and killing plants mainly, and once in awhile harvesting something worthwhile. Each grow is a struggle against the forces of nature, fate, and my own self. Now that I'm here I see that it's not just me, and every harvest generally is the end of a small yet epic personal struggle.
I don't have a cardboard box. Early in the journal I modified a small refrigerator to make a drying box. I'm still tweaking the process but for now- I've been putting a computer fan on the top vent of it, just for the first night to get the buds shrunk down a bit and calm my fears of mold. Then after that night I just let the herb sit in the box on the racks and dry slowly. It seems to work out well. I may be able to skip the fan part but haven't been around enough to try it and monitor.
I'm pretty sure my flowering room is humid enough that it's not capable of getting over dried. I've never taken it out and had the RH in the curing jar show less than 60. Usually it's about 70 after sitting there a week or so.
Congrats on the PC harvest pal!!
100+ days is an awful long time but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.
I notice that some folks use multiple pairs of scissors when trimming due to gumming up problems but I've never had to do this since I began coating my blades with oil.
The gummy scissor hash that does stick to the blades is easy to remove if the blades are oiled up before use. I also clean with alcohol and reapply olive oil about every hour or two while trimming which also seems to help.
Enough about the garden, what kind of guitar do you have there WC? Are you an accomplished guitar virtuoso or just a mellow unaccomplished strummer like myself?
Thanks UncleC. Actually when I first did the math last night I accidentally added a month and thought it was 130 days-which I wouldn't have been surprised about. 100 days seems alright after going up to almost 150 with a couple other PC phenos which I subsequently axed, and I was kind of surprised they were so 'fast' this time and, more importantly, are also actually ripe.
I could barely afford the one pair of scissors. Multiple pairs is way out of my league! Though it occurred to me last night that if I ever lucky enough to have my girlie there to help me trim sometime I'd better try and get another pair.
I wouldn't have time to be a guitar virtuoso if I ever even had the patience and studious type brain for it. I have mostly just always noodled and improvised without having much clue what I was doing. Much like my grow. I don't recommend it really. I can improvise well and play something that makes me happy, If that spot in my brain is switched on, but would probably fail music class instantly. Playing music saved my life though when I was a messed up kid. I really don't think I'd be here if I hadn't had guitars.
The guitar is a Seagull. They're made in Quebec I believe by a company that makes a few other guitar models. Red cedar top. They're quite cheap, but can really sing on a good day. I wear out guitars pretty fast and then start modifying things and rebuilding them and stuff, in order to finish wrecking them faster
