Here's the closet as of last night. Buds are starting up. :)

New lights from SomeGuy. It's beyond bright in there now. Just ridiculous.

And a bonus shot of the colorful sunset through the trees, looking out the bedroom window.

Also, I killed the one Fireball mom I tried to incorporate into the closet. The other two are safe in the back bathroom. Sorry bob. :(View attachment 3318264View attachment 3318266 View attachment 3318267

Nerves are bad now fam.i may need words of encouragement. Ok i chop the girls and let them hang dry for 7 full days. Placed them in jars and rh% reads 55% in most jars ,one jar read 58% .im just hoping the smell kicks in full throttle while they cure.i placed socks over the jars and put them in a cool dark place . So can someone reassure me that everything will turn out ok after a month or so thanks fam

Hmmmm...55% might have me putting a green leaf in the jar...

I suppose that that would be my question: does it help to rehydrate,
to allow there to be a slower drying, helping breakdown reactions occur.
(mostly for chlorophyll I think)

I am sure that it will all work out. You give your stuff a great start.

I'm with you here Dr. I've never checked my RH. Once in a while I forget about them for a day and they get a little extra dry, but its not the end of the world they still smoke great. Typically if they are dried nice and slowly in the first place when I trim them before jarring they stink. My Blue thai plant actually makes my eyes water when I trim it the smell is so pungent. I really think that way they dry that first 7-10 days makes a bigger difference then the actual cure. I've toyed with drying and curing a couple ways over the years, and it always seems that the drying has a bigger impact on the final outcome. Just my 2 cents though, and I'm just some crazy hippie...

I busted out this super nice looking bud last night, thinking I'd take part of it for a night cap. When I took it apart I found some mold :(

First time for me having my own buds get mold so I'm not too upset about it. I'm just hoping there aren't many more that I'll find.

I'm a crazy hippie too.... must be why we do things the same way haha. Yeah, I've never had a way to check humidity of my drying buds. Just dry them till they feel almost dry, then put them in jars. It's worked out almost every time.

bummer dez

I used hygrometers in the jars when I first started because I wasn't letting the buds dry enough and it was taking a long time to cure. After using the jars for a bit I kind of got things dialed so that my buds come out how I like them, for the most part. Every once in a while I will dry it out too much but that's ok with me too. I don't mind them a little crispy because they grind up easier ;)

She still has yet to open half her gifts... and we didn't get her that much either. Barely even looking at the stuff she opened after the kitchen. My girl likes cooking.... or at least pretending to cook.

Got some pics of the garden. The lights up to (thanks someguy) are making the plants super happy. Only a little has burned in the side lighting. It's looking like it will be a real good harvest.

Oh, and the roots on the last plant are going beast mode. At least a foot is growing out the end of the tubes.

Hey Jojo,

As far as numbers go, my research as I got started showed a
range from 60 to 65% (RH, in the jar) and it seemed that 62%
was the general consensus.

Funnily, but not surprisingly, Boveda began to market a small-format
62% pack not too long ago. I got a 12 pack of these for less than $20

This way I can forget about a jar for any period of time and find it
ready to smoke when I reach for it.

Good luck all,

JD
