hey NRK. Thanks for stopping by. How is the curing going? Is it done? Mine is going ok. Last week we had a power outage and it went without water for 3 days before I noticed. The timer wasnt set for auto restart on "power on". Im sure it will have an effect. Glad I found it when I did.

The ship of fools has run aground. Sadly after the 3-4 day lapse in water she began to dry out. In an effort to salvage what I can I have put clean flushing water in. I hope I can keep her going for at least a week. here are the pics.

Dry is leave plant matter as is.. wet is taking all leaves and when they are hanging. It depends on your humidity. I like to take fan leaves and some sun leaves 5 days prior to chop.. i do like dry..tends to keep terpenes better.. i have so much malawi i am rolling 1 gram joints.. i compost everything except bud..

Aug will be Ace seeds (green mountain seeds) zacateca tribute and mountain gold. I have purple satellite outdoors at moment.

Dry vs wet trimming

WET VS DRY Trimming

i just did a test with a Sage plant.. took half.. wet dried right wen cut down.. hung to dry.. and then other half.. left hanging no trim.. trimmed after dry.. ok .. the wet trim bud is way diff.. barely any smell.. needs a longer cure.. then the dry trim bud FOR Sure.. these are my...

Hoping you get tasty bud. If you have too much, try malawi cobbing. Its in the havest section on icmag.

funny on the cobb thing. 10 yrs ago I read about it on icmag. at the time it sounded really neat. May give it a try.

sorry for the delay in response. The total was 471 grams, which is not a bad total given the late stage problem I had. the gram per watt was not something I was chasing so I dont really care that it sucked. I am most definitely going to go aggressive on the scrog next grow. total pain in the ass to trim when you dont have a good scrog. I haven't smoked yet so I dont have a report on that.

well if you look at Delta9's grows he gets way more than that with ppk grows. Like I said Im just trying to learn. Ill get another plant going in a while and hopefully do a much better job on the scrog.
