....Afternoon to all... I am smack down into Harvest season as we all know, but I thought I might shed a little light on what my Harvests in fall actually entail.. My small growing community and I not only help each other with the Mega Cannabis take, we also help each other harvest veggies and put them back for winter.. We almost always have garden fresh, low sodium canned and frozen veggies for the winter that are summer fresh.. I made the mistake of shall we say challenging my buddies to Cob at least two zips of each Strain we grow this year.. That is in the neighborhood of 50 different strains. So today as I clean 220 lbs of corn on the cob I am also taking the tender inside leaves of the cobs for the task... I wont bore you with the amount of individual ears of corn it takes to make 220 lbs, but it is a shit ton... All day thing, but break time now...
......Here is a short tutorial on how to " CURE " the leaves... Kinda done in a cross style between how you cure buds or cobs and tobacco leaves... Low and Slow de carb in the oven at 190 for enough time to get it almost dry to the touch.... 2 hours is a good number to start at... Do Not Leave them unattended after an hour, they dry out just like that ... Snap.. LOL
...
.
.... After this step cool to room temp and bag in paper bags and 24 hours frig time... For this tutorial I have some from yesterday to show finishing steps, and some that were done today up to frig part... At this time it is important to cut to length, after the cure the are flexible, but dainty...
...
.
.... After the frig step is the long process... I store mine in gallon pickle jars or plastic jugs with lids that are airtight... Lay the jar on side place the leaves length wise laying down to almost fill entire bottom.
....
..... Now after you put them into the jars/jugs you slow roll it 4-6 times a day burping at least 2-3 times in the process.. I add half a cup of dry rice freely in to the jug to slowly absorb humidity.. This needs to be changed every few days... This created no problem as bacteria doesn't grow freely on rice, and you can simply shake it off before prep for usage..
.... During the Burping you will need to leave the lid of in a cool,dark and low humidy area with more than ample air flow... After about 12-15 days I vacuum seal them and check them once a week ish for burping.. ** At this point rice is not longer needed so do not add to Vacuum seal bags***...This keeps them from any bacteria growth, and also keeps the leaves flexible... From there when you pull them out for use do so about a day ahead and let them air dry ish before use.. From there a light spray of h2o2 mixed 1 part to 4 parts h2o will soften and sanitize the vessel... They may be small to large for use as you can join several together length wise or width wise... Reduce Reuse Recycle everyone... Green days...

Here’s a pic I took earlier of Mercedes
Don’t know if you can tell by pic but she is getting huge. She may end up being my best yielded. Soon as she quits stretching I will do final defo/trim. Here’s a group shot of all the girls
Cheers everyone

Got a couple individual pics of Mercedes and Big Momma. First up is Mercedes, she’s thriving and doing really good. She stretched a little more since yesterday so I’m still waiting to give final defo/trim
Next is Big Momma, she’s soaking up the sun today and seems to be doing good
That’s all I got for now, cheers everyone.

Thanks Derby, I can’t wait till Mercedes gets finished up with stretch so I can lollipop/trim. Big Momma has surprised me at how well she doing out there. I’m excited to see what she yields outside and I will be able to compare quality also from outdoor and indoor.

Big momma definitely likes it outside. Can you imagine if she was still in your tent? Haha

She would have been a hoss lol. I wish I hadn’t light stressed her like I did. I was afraid she might throw a manner from the stress and I had to take one out anyway so I picked her. I figured it’s better to be safe than sorry. She has really surprised me though at how she bounced back after getting light stressed. I would recommend this strain to anyone lol.
