Testing The ViparSpectra XS1000 With VetSmoke85

[Grand Daddy Black]

I'm a bit obsessed with this plant. Makes me smile every time I open the tent.

She is a real mover. One things for certain, she doesn't care a bit about squeezing out her tentmates!

I did catch her pumping out Ludacris the other day. She'll get her wish very soon.

Sweet tent VetSmoke. Enjoy trim jail and the room that it brings for your other beauties.

NTH

Those are some beautiful towers you have in that tent. Enjoy the harvest

Of course you are, she is gorgeous. Really shaping up nicely.

More photos. Think the PE may need a bump in feed now. Did a little training on the Blueberry too. Just spread out the top node a little.

I had some free time so the Tangerine Dream got chopped down today. I checked the dates and it's bang on 9 weeks. 130g wet so will be about an oz dried. Not the best result but it'll be an oz I didn't have before. Super sticky.

When going from wet to dry, whats the final weight based on ? Is it 20 - 30% of the overall weight when wet.

Yes you can expect to lose almost 75% of your wet weight

Yeah I normally divide by 5 to get a rough estimate after drying and losing stems etc. Might end up with just over an oz on this one. 20% is a low estimate. Any more is a bonus.

Thanks for confirming that, I thought that was the case but just thought I would ask anyway.

I always ask....that's why I knew this one lol

I know it's not accurate and more a rough estimate, I've always believed it to be around 70 - 80% water to 20 - 30% solids ratio.
At least I know I've not been talking out my ass all this time when I've said the same to others lol.

I noticed you wet trimmed and removed the bud from the stem. Do you use a rack for drying ?

I don't have anywhere to air dry right now so I've put them into a paper bag to fridge dry.

How does fridge drying work ?

Only reason I ask is I done the same on my first grow journal and used a Wedryer. Basicly a herb dryer with a fan at the top. I found the smell wasn't really there, good smoke though, no harshness it just lacked smell.

On the flipside wet trimming made things a whole lot easier than when I trimmed dry.

They look good. Nice healthy ones

DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying: Maximizing Your Harvest

Since beginning this thread we've had a member show up who'd spent the years since 1993 refining this very process. He's already worked out what we were trying to discover - the most favorable atmospheric conditions, how to adjust humidity levels when it's time to jar it up, and for that matter...

Loads of info there. Just trimmed and put in a paper bag then into the fridge. You need a frost free fridge. Give the bag a flip/jiggle once a day. Takes longer but is supposed to preserve terpenes better. I've only done it once before so hoping I have no issues with it this time.

Look nice with those ugly fan leaves gone. Lol. My fingers kept sticking together which is always a good sign.

Thanks, I'll have a read. I've heard of people fridge drying just never looked into it though.
I might give it a try with a smaller amount of weed to see how that goes.
Did you have any issues the first time ? Just with you saying
"hoping I have no issues with it this time".

No it went fine. I did the red CBD in the fridge. Stinks the fridge out though. Lol. I've got a spare fridge out in the garage this time.
