So the Gorilla Glue yielded 519g dry from 5 plants, and humidity hasn't moved from 55% in the 4 days since going into their cure box.
I tried the old trick of adding a lettuce leaf between a napkin to bring up the moisture but it didn't really do anything. The smell is good so i'm not going to fuss with it anymore.
I tried a little nug and its VERY heavy stoney with a sativa-leaning racy buzz. Too strong for my taste, but i'm a wimp so what do I know?
Due to having hermie issues and the fairly poor yield I have tossed all other clones of the Gorilla Glue. They were bagseed so nothing lost really. I consider it a bonus, and gives me chance to focus on my $ strains.

The 24K proved to be much more successful, at just shy of 500g from 2 plants (I lost 3 as males early on so table was sparse).
Here it is getting ready to be boned:

Impressive nun density, tight flowers with nice colors. Not as frosty as the GG but great scent of Squirt soda and hopefully got some flavor too.

This also dried in 4 days after a wet trim and went into its curing box today.
Monitoring interior humidity and temps with this neat little Amazon thermometer stuck to the inside. Will check tomorrow for the first idea of starting humidity, and very much hoping its better than the GG.

With the drying process happening too quickly for my liking I am opting for a dry trim the next two tables, and the Black Jack was chopped this afternoon.
Whole branches are hanging, with only fan leaves removed.
I have 4 plants under here, and an extra one getting a couple extra days in the sun.
Its pretty packed in and I will have to keep an eye out for humidity spikes, wet spots, mold etc.

Two small fans keep the air moving, temps at 74F and humidity low 60's, so it ought to work better than the dry trim has so far.

In the background you can also see the boxes of Gorilla Glue and 24K, and their respective piles of kief drying for a couple days. The paper bag has some random popcorn.

The next run of Larry OG and Black Jack have been flipped into flower.
I didn't do the best training job in veg as I crammed too many into my space and they missed out on some much needed attention. They are pretty leggy so I hit them with a heavy pruning and will train under scrog throughout flower.
All side branching has been removed and going with four main tops.
I'm also trying out some basic 3gal pots instead of fabric pots for this run as the smart pots are an absolutely bastard to clean of old roots after a chop.
I ran some holes into the sides for aeration using a soldering iron.

Quick shoutout to the peeps at Mammoth P for throwing me this generous sample. I hear good things about this stuff. Going to run it alongside my other bennies and see whats up.
Stinks like witches piss though.
There's enough here for me to be doing half of each strain table as a side-by-side.

Next week when i've yielded from the Black Jack and Larry OG that will conclude this first run in my shed, and so it'll also be the end of this thread.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for anyone who has followed along or read at any point, its been a mad wild trip!
Extra gooey props to
@ttystikk and
@Wisher2 for their constant support and advice. If i've come along in this game then its probably because of them.
