So while it's not Thanksgiving here (it already passed in Canada), I would like to say and wish everyone celebrating today, a Happy Thanksgiving.

I know today I'm thankful. While getting my jars sorted, I found a jar stuffed with SuperSkunk:yahoo:. Now...I don't think I need say how I celebrated that find :cheesygrinsmiley:

Have a great day everyone and even if you aren't celebrating today, it's good to take a moment, look around and realize how thankful we should be:green_heart:
:green_heart:
 
So a slight note. I had to remove the buds from the fridge in the garage. Way too cold outside and they weren't really drying.

Now they're in turkey bags, and inside my old grow cabinet. I stuck the big dehumidifier in there and set it for 72%.
I'll regularly pop the door open and move the buds around.
Those bags felt pleasantly heavy, the white Berry Auto had to be spread into two bags (I could have put it in one, but with the quantity for that plant I decided to put it in two, lest the buds get squashed).

Nice redirect.

Would have been far too ironic to have to put a heater in the fridge. :laughtwo:

Thanks! At this point I just want it finished up and jarred to start the curing :laughtwo:, Christmas break should be nice and green :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Brother Rex how R things?
Long time no talk my friend lol My fault as I’ve been stretched past the point of sanity but still going strong.

I just went back a few pages and see you knocked another one out of the park :high-five:

I’m glad you and your better half r settled in and hope your enjoying your setup , system and light.

I’ve missed this grow but will be around for the next once you light it up again.
Stay warm my friend.
Play safe and enjoy everyone I’m off to find Brother Bill lol

Hey KC!

It's all good brother, I know you work like a mad man, till the snow comes.

Settled in and loving the new place indeed, thank you!

I hope you and your Mrs have been doing well.
The next grow will be a reboot of my old grow cabinet, I think for now I'm going to just shut the garage grows down for winter. Too expensive to try and keep it heated, and with the snow I don't think it's a good idea for me trying to get out there several times a day.
I was toying with the idea of a soil grow, or modifying my old flood and drain to give more height. Still undecided, though playing in some dirt might be a fun change.

Take care brother, it was good to hear from you again!

I hear ya brother and it’s getting real chilly now. Not worth it (wiping out in the snow) and will require a lot of work without proper insulation/ setup.
However if you go for it and set something up try the promix brother it’s real easy.
I just pulled down 9 out of pro mix and it’s all good. I got 2 to three ozs dry out of a very neglected grow. King Tut was the winner at a qp dry. Trust me when I say I didn’t do much and the still put out something lol.

What ever you decide to do if times get tough hit me up and I will pop something in the mailbox for ya ;)

Play safe and enjoy my friend
 
Hey Rex! Hows the turkey bags and drying proggy? :p

Seems like they slowly drying at least :Namaste: thats a good thing tho..
I guess Im bout to chop BB Kush tonight and could try to trim and hang the whole crop for ~72h then jarring.
Never done like that before… I guess drying might take lil longer if theres juice still inside the stalk.

I too, was curious George about your turkey bagging...thank you Verbalist for being so verbal

Thanks KC,
King Tut always looked good, though I've got my genetics planned already for the next one. It's time to start playing with pollen and making a few personal crosses (all autos of course!). Ive gotten my hands on a few regular autos seeds and will hope for a male to collect some pollen. It'll give me a solid starting base to play and have some fun making my own.

It's going good thanks! Slow and steady is ideal for drying. The longer the better, but it's a matter of environmental control. The fridge just makes it perfect when it's warm, not in a freezing cold garage!
Are you hooked up to vent outside? Pull cold air in to lower the temp and slow the drying down if you want...and yes, keeping the stem on will help keep moisture and slow it down.

Well these turkey bags are doing the trick so far! The Bruce banner Auto is just about ready to be weighed and jarred, she's sitting at roughly 76%. I'll be opening and closing the turkey bag, the same as if it was a big jar. Once it's down to roughly 65%... in the jars she'll go for curing. Same for the rest.

It's not a new thing to use the turkey bags like this (they usually just go in, in a dryer state then mine did), i'd love to say I was the clever one who came up with it, but I believe it was Shed that I saw using them. But this is a first for me using them :cheesygrinsmiley:

So here's a few pictures showing a glimpse of them drying :)





 
@Rexer - You WILL be submitting one of those pics for nug of the month, right?!

Hehe not possible, they have to be in a dry ready to smoke state for Nug of the month, thank you though!!

I'm sure a few will be entered in the upcoming months:blunt:

There's so much and it's so delightful looking!!

Mines hanging on the shower handle and theres a small window in the vicinity of the shower from which I let in cool air (19-20C) inside temp. And a fan oscillating on the floor to create air movement.

Hey @Verbalist congrats on your harvest.
Just a thought a fan oscillating in a small room like that might dry things too fast.
Just minimal air movement in my drying room is all I use.
Be careful you don't over dry her.

Stay safe
Bill

Thank you Bill and thanks for the advice! :)
Fan isn’t pointing towards the hanger at any time. The surplus air which comes when the fan(12" diameter) oscillates greates nice little air movement so air isn’t stagnant.
Also having a nice little humidifying trick to apply when needed. …Some ppl would think why the heck you humidify the place where you drying weed.
Anyway when buds outer surface gets dry/crispy I’ll let the shower run for couple minutes on max heat to rise RH up to 60% for an hour or two — then pop window open wider and voila, good to go with 19-20C and adjusted RH.
That will make outer surface moist or at least ”soft” again and they will dry more equally, since theres couple mad thick colas.

Just be careful you don't get mist on the buds when your upping the humidity.

Stay safe
