I fucked my drying up...

[Highforfive]

Hi

I started drying my first grow 2018-01-03, the day after i got so sick badly.. 39c/102f fever. Had to go to the hospital. I got back the 5th was super sick, and i just sleep't the weekend of. I waited to watch my grow on the Sunday. Everything in the tent, was dry as fuck. my humanity had dropped to 30% since my lights was unplugged. And my exhaust fan was on, to avoid smell in my apartment.

Everything snapped of easy, the popcorn buds almost blow of. Also everything is brittle that i can smash it with two fingers. I have some humanity pack coining tomorrow. Its my first time growing, first time ever handling pure buds, normally here we only get hashish. So i only have internet as reference.

Can i still save the curing process?

Jar it up and throw it in the freezer for a few days, don't worry.

If you got some new plants clip some fresh leaves to put in the jars.

put a boveda 62% pack in jar with dry weed or a small piece of lettuce or celery in jar.

i just picked a very small temp/humidty digital monitor you can keep in your jar when curing. i like it so much, i'm gonna buy 5 more.

as you can see, this jar needs a little more open time

Add couple of good clean fan leaves in jar for a day or so ...
Sadly once dropss below around 55% it stops and cannot be restarted , however you can add some hydration back ... But cure is done.

If you need to hydrate - use items that do not give off a scent that bud will absorb and express. Piece of flour tortilla, fan leaf , BOVEDA pack , integra pack , piece of lettuce,
Freezer chill , reusable ice cube ( they sell these / just freeze it and drop one in ) they have pure water inside and are BPA free .

Thousand ways to hydrate but the cure is what was the important part ... Maybe make butter or tincture instead.

With all that being said, I hope you're feeling better. Unfortunately we get curveballs thrown at us from time to time. Sounds like you had the right game plan, so I'm confident you'll rebound and have a successful harvest on your next go.

So it is useless to smoke? i understand i lose a bit taste and potency?

It is my first grow so i don't know what i expect, it just that the road to get my 3x35oz jar's took some time. And it was not painless, i had nutrition issue, i had one plant dying on me, and yeah steep learning curve haha.

thanks for the tips anyways help full stuff that people, posted here much love for that! <3

It's all trial and error ... No matter who's growing .

cure-ing makes it better but it aint broke. You can still smoke it. Slightly worse taste and smell. Maybe a little bit of potency loss. Don't sweat it, smoke it

maybe a bit harsh too, but still smokable for sure

It will be good for rolling joints after freeze curing.

Thanks for all the feedback! I have some plans to action now.

I just want to update this a bit...

I have not smoked for a long time... tested my new grow today just a joint. I did not approve of this smoke...
Am not really high am more just chill 1/10 chill scale, no body high, no am fucked up high. I have this bad aftertaste in the back on my throat. I did actually throw big part of my joint away.

I think curing must do alot.. also i think an old guy like me need to start vape... oh and i cough a lot on my first 2 inhales.

haha this had me cracking up, its ok if the buds get to dry no need to loose your humanity over it and i can only imagine what unhuman things one might do when a bad harvest happens,

 

[firsttimeARE]

Oh the humanity

i'd make hash out of it, get some 91% isopropyl, put it all in the freezer for a day, and make qwiso. or get some dry ice and make hash that way. bad weed can make at least decent hash....(its bad hash too, but bad hash is way better than bad weed)
