This will be an extremely long photo update.................
2 full days of work (14 hour days!) and trimming, transplanting, new seeds, new mothers, more room work, more
lights, more buckets, more plumbing, more reservoirs, etc........
It was busy!
Here's about 70++ pictures taken throughout the few days......
#01 - First up we make a drying room. Attach a few slabs of wood, drill a few holes into the studs behind drywall for some fisheye hooks, and some heavy duty rope! This room could probably dry about 5-6 Lbs properly. No fans, no light, nothing other than quiet and darkness. If the room was full, there would be a very small fan giving some circulation, but not unless its half full or better.
#02 - Todays tools..... RED BUCKET...... CHECK! BLACK BUCKET......... CHECK! SCISSORS AND POT? CHECK!!
#03 - Each plant we cut will remain one single plant until its fully dried and ready for packaging. Therefore, each plant has a NUMBER SET on EACH!
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, please read so I dont have to explain it 50 times =) =) The top # (1, 2, 3, 4 in this picture) are the order of which it was harvested. Plant #1 we chopped first, #2 second, etc..... The # under them (36, 76, 24, 31) are their WET WEIGHTS. That's the weight as you see them in the photos freshly chopped.
AFTER they dry, we re-weigh and record the number again below the second number. Then we remove the stem and record the stem weight. That way we know exactly what % was lost due to cure/dry time and can better estimate things in the future.
Plus, its fun.

#18 - Notice the plants are now much larger....... Also notice the wet weight doesnt really change much even on huge plants. The small ones carry so much nugs, the tall ones carry the same but stretched over a larger area and more stem.

#34 - I wanted to sample some of the Pineapple Express, so I threw a few nugs in the NESCO Dehydrator for 5 hours on 95(f). Its not a good idea to do this, but gives you a general preview and gives a perfectly solid nug. The nugs will not be as pretty as properly dried nugs, nor will it taste or have the potency, so I guess it was stupid> Fuck it, smoked great!
