Today we are about a month into the cure and it is time to wrap up this journal. Thank you to all who have followed along; you are very much appreciated.
The buds have become very hard and very beautiful. When ground up to make joints the kief falls away from these buds and makes a significant pile of goodness that can be blended back in. The high is powerful and long-lasting and I love the medicinal effect it has.
I do have a word of warning though when it comes to the drying and curing of our precious products. Our house has a smell. In the area where the drying and curing has been occurring there was enough of this stench to become at least for a while, a part of this pot's flavor profile. I had become nose blind to it but my right hand who does not live here had not, and she picked this up as coming out of my pot. She said, "it smells like your house!"
I have moved all drying and curing operations upstairs to the grow rooms where this should not occur. Always be aware that your product will pick up everything from its environment. Budwashing is mandatory and drying and curing must happen in a clean environment if you want your pot to smell like it should.
That being said, thank you to my right hand for being brave enough to hit me with this, and thank you to all of you for putting up with me too. I hope you all have great grows going on right at this moment and I wish you all the luck in the world with your harvest.
