Hey guys! I'm finally done with trimming all six plants.

The final weight in:

Dream Star: 356 + 326 + 269 = 951 g = 33.5 oz

Purple Kush: 279 + 390 + 286 = 955 g = 33.6 oz

Total weight (WET) = 1906 grams = 67.2 oz = 4 lb 3 oz :hump:

I'm not only very very happy about this number, but also how dank those buds are. They are all hanging on the strings right now. How long do you think it should stay there to dry before curing? 2 days? 5 days?

The last one!



Look how dank those PK are.



Over 4 lb of goodness. I'm in heaven.

Props for the amazing buds, obviously, but even more props for letting your cat in the tent with you. People will say blah blah they'll let insects in there....I say fuck that. My kitty gets to play with the trimmed fan leaves if she brings in insects I can get rid of them! :evil:

Haha! Thanks!! Yeah, he is my partner in crime. You know how cats love eating wheat grass and throw up eventually. Well, my cat doesn't throw up from eating cannabis blades. Funny how he hears me unzip the grow tent and rushes into my bedroom, stick his head between the zippers so we can trim lower fan leaf tips. I actually left some leaves on the carcass of the plants so he can eat some for a while. I call it "salad time" and he knows it. I was careful removing cat hair off of my buds, though. Those are like perfect sticky lint rollers... I wasn't worried about him bringing any pest since he is strictly an indoor cat. He is too pretty for outside. He is much better suited in the indoor jungle... :)

Sorry I didnt follow along but il catch the next one :) looks good bro congrats on your first!
No sweat, man. I think there only like 3 people who kept track of my grow... I'm already warming up the idea for my second grow for the next year, so stay tuned. Coco or DWC? Single strain or multiple? Indica or sativa? FoxFarm or not? Too many decisions...and the quest for the efficiency and the yield continues...

GOD, can't wait for the buds to be cured!

I thought about it. I've heard it takes much longer to start the veg phase this way, though. They are still sitting here with some leaves on. I don't think the sativa will make it (too few leaves left), but the PK might. I'm using the grow tent as a drying chamber, so let's see if those girls survive for another few days. I watered them just in case. ;) I kind of want to try different strains, too. Decisions decisions.....

Ok, I know I'm taking a chance, but I need to leave those buds hanging until Friday. I've been monitoring the drying chamber (a.k.a. grow tent) with hygrometers and various settings/intervals of exhaust fan to keep it just about 65% RH so that 1 - they don't dry too fast before I come home to jar them for curing or 2 - they don't go moldy. I know it's risky, but I have to do what I've got to do sometimes... I set the exhaust fan run for 15 minutes 6 times a day - more frequent at night when temperature dips and humidity goes up, and less during the day to prevent over drying. There is an oscilating fan running inside the tent, but not directly blowing on the buds. Ideally, when I get back in 2.5 days, they still require a day of drying without mold, or just right to go into the jars. Last thing I want now is to ruin my crop to mold or dry up uncured... OMG, I'm nervous about this one... I'll keep you posted on Friday.

Happy Turkey Day and safe travels, everyone!
