What did you accomplish today?

[Indacouch]

So I'm guna take baby G today real quick .....I picked up a few large thick cardboard boxes ....my plan is to connect them together and use the large box for drying .....punch a hole at the bottom of one side and the top of the other .....then stick some poles through it to hang the flowers .....the plant was already an experiment as it is .....so basically I wana try to make this plant dry super slow just to see ......if any of you have done this or have any suggestions ....please keep them to yourself because I hate everyone's opinions ..........seriously though ....any input would be much appreciated ....just wana super slow dry these flowers to see if there's any difference .....I was thinking about not even putting any holes ...basically just the air from the bamboo poles being stuck through .....let me know what you guys think

K Bye

I've used grocery bags to dry slowly and it worked very well. But you've gotta pre-dry & get your buds a little crispy before bagging or they'll get moldy. Just leave buds on the long stems, then stack em vertically in the bag. I use a second bag upside down as a lid. It actually seals fairly well. The idea is to let moisture escape slowly with zero air flow around the buds themselves.

There was a little frost on my daughters car this morning! WTF? Must have been wind chill because we only got down to 39 last night. I let the dogs out to pee and saw my breath, big-time! My first thought was "gotta chop before my gold turns into shit".

Sounds like what i do. I hang for three days then clip down to smaller branches and remove fan leaves. Basically get rid of the stalk. Then into paper bags for another 4 or 5 days or until I like the feel of em. Then I trim the sugar leaves and jar.

For me, bags before jars is a safety mechanism that makes it harder to fuck up the cure.
Over-drying is bad, and so is jarring too early (mold).
Buds always turn out perfect when I use paper grocery bags before jarring. Highly recommended.

I've been "wet trimming" and it's a mess. What are your thoughts on wet vs dry?
I'm planning to chop three plants today and it would be easier to just hang em.
I'd still have to cut em up in large sections for rinsing in 18 gallon totes. I also remove any moldy spots & leaves that are brown.

I wet trim and hang. In case I can't finish, sometimes leave the lower limbs an extra week ( indoors of course) . I haven't grown outdoors in about 4 years now, but when I did , I like to break down the plant and place it in paper bags . Then hang, and finish trim later . But I always harvested in the wee hours of the morning , getting home around sun up and by the time I got it hung I was ready for a nap.

When dealing with low volume I prefer drying with all the leaves apart from large ones still attached.

I personally prefer dry trimming. I'm super busy with every day life so its easier for me to just hang it, trim a little, bag it then finish trimming. I feel like, for me at least, i can get in there better and get everything off that needs to go when i trim dry. Wet trim the leaves flop over and they're every which way and I get frustrated. Haven't noticed much if any difference in final product so long as you dont let it over dry.

Let's say like ....a giant barn full ...then what ....just curious ...single plant of course...

I start my cure wetter than most people ...rite into food bags after a 4 to 6 day hang ....I have to burp lots ...but it's worth it to me ....then food grade buckets after that .....I'm just curious about really slowing things down .....make drying last a good bit of time .....probably won't make a difference ...I've got the curing thing on lock .....pics to come

You can imagine my disappointment when I tasted it.

I changed a tire for a helpless looking,super fit young lady wearing yoga pants today......she was actually a doll ....she was stuck with her little baby .....of course I thought about if it was my wife and kid stuck like that .....she was actually stuck rite by my house......you can imagine her reaction to a rather large bearded man wearing a tank top covered in tattoos offering help ....not to mention fresh out of the trim shack ....lol....I got the 2" inch window roll down treatment....don't blame her one bit ....even told her to stay in the car while I did it if shed like .....but momma ended up pulling up from taking my youngest to get his shots ......weird how girls with kids can just start talking....next thing I know momma and her are sitting in the shade at the house ......so that was my good deed for the day ......she apologized and felt bad about the window treatment she gave me. I said no worries you can never be to careful. I even scare myself sometimes lol......AAA told her an hour and a half ....WTF ....so momma thought it was sweet I helped .....maybe I can get my penis touched out of this deal after all ....will see.

Woot! Steak & black bean chili!
Safeway managers special on the meat. Expiring today -- choice cuts of sirloin sliced for stir fry.
Normally $8.99/lb, but I paid less than $3/lb.

Indoors (in soil) I start drying them by skipping the last watering cycle. So they go a week without water. The day before I cut, I remove all the fans. Next day cut, trim and hang 2 days, cut all the buds off and lay them out flat a day, maybe a bit more 'fine trimming', then into gallon jars with hygrometers. Colas hang a day or 2 longer. Burp them with a 4" fan blowing in the top of the jar for a few minutes the first week. I'm still at 63/64/65 after a month and never had a mold issue doing it that way.

Outdoors, lol, it's a total cluster fuck. And a lot of work for weed that just never is indoor quality. But it's way better than the outdoor I grew in the '70's & '80's so I keep running a few in the summer.

I like edibles, so outdoor weed is fine. Doesn't have to be "top shelf" to be awesome for canna butter.
Plus, I spent *zero* on electricity to grow it.
Might need a few fans + a dehumidifier to process it, but overall my cost for outdoor bud is minimal.
