This is one little side bud off my first grow plant. I put a quarter in the pic for scale. it is day five of drying and is at 3 grams. I am happy the way it turned out rest of the plant is being done tomorrow.
I am harvesting since 80% of the tricomes are milky color and I found a few amber tricomes. Only issue here is I don't smoke the stuff I just like to grow it and hope to sell to the clinics. so I will see how others like it..

So why is that a problem...? selling to clinics is a reputation thing, no reputation? ....... no sale, just like down in the ally

garden.jpg Sorry, Did not mean it like that. Was a figure of speech. the deal is I don't really like how smoking it makes me feel but I love to grow the plants as well as all kinds of palm and tropicals. So I will have to let others tell me if it is good or so so.. it's not a bad thing..
I changed how I worded the first post..

Here is a Pic. of my garden in So. California..

I have some experience in this department. You're plants are way too leafy, they need to be trimmed down more. They are also too wet to be jarring already. You'll need at least a QP to sell anything to a shop. Obviously this can vary, but in my experience when you go in, they ask you how much per lb. not oz. Then be prepared to be lowballed while they explain to you why your weed is only worth X dollars. The last girl I talked to said my weed was kinda wet although it had been curing for two months. I said really? and she's all oh wait no, its not. Ive brought amazing bud in better than anything Ive ever had from a shop and they will still have something negative to say, its their job. Just be ready for that and don't take it personal :)

Thank you.. Since this is my first grow I am looking at it as a learning experience. I figure until I can get a min. a pound I am not even going to the shop with it. I know it may look green and still wet but today the stem broke and it is dry. I also need to explain that I am in So. California and the last three days my weather station has been reading 6 to 8% humidity and that low it just sucks the moisture out of everything! including me :cool: next grow I will take more leaves off but I don't understand why you don't want the little leaves since they are covered in trichomes? Thank you for your input, that is why I am here to learn and this place has been great!
PS my next grow is 3 Bubba kush and 3 Tru OG they are in pots and starting to take off, I hope to get better with each grow and keep a open mind to suggestions and learning, when you think you know it all is the day you stop learning....

If you trim them a bit tighter you can use your trim for bubble hash or for cooking oil to make some cookies or brownies or something like that. Then your buds will have a very nice pretty bag appeal AND you got some fucking brownies too!

as far as your low humidity try keeping the buds on as much of the main stem as you can, some even flip the entire plant upside down(after removing the big fan leaves)and dry that way. Gives a nice long dry time.

Your garden is awesome!

Also - you're going to get mold all over your buds. Please research Drying & Curing. It does not need to be a difficult process; but it's important.

Thanks guys, I checked the buds and it may be dry on the outside but the inside is still wet so I took it out of the container.. I have researched on drying and curing but when you have 6 - 8 % humidity it makes for a crazy dry

get some paper bags and put a few buds loosely inside. Dont pack the bags just a few per bag, lots of room for the buds still. The bags will absorb the moisture. Just keep checking and moving the buds about.

Funny you said that... I just took em out of the container and put them in paper bags, small ones like used for lunch bags.. I did not pack them just laid them down in about three different bags.. had to sample one that was very dry ;-) I don't normally smoke it but I just wanted to see how it was. It needs to cure but did get me pretty high bongsmilie or was it low? hmm. I need to go feed my Koi
