That's sweet you have yourself a nice little dry rack and everything.. Today I'm probably gonna chop all by buds off the vine and place them on a rack as well.. I just use window screen stapled up in a closet.. Lol everything is DIY in these parts... Were you able to leave the lowers?

Slow dry is best, so if you can leave them together that would be good. But if you have high humidity faster might be better. My Rh is like 30% and shit dries in like 6 days on the vine like 5 on the rack..
your buds look real good qroox, it won't be long now..
I'm bout to head to the store for some ISO, dry ice, butane and regular ice and other supplies for a nigh of several different extractions. First I will make the Co2 hash then bubble hash and if time allows I will make the butane and Iso.. Gosh it's been a busy few days.. Almost done tho...!

My rh is from 60-80 near the buds.What would u suggest ? i check em every few hours to confirm that the smell is how it was ( not rotten ) and pray :D. I've got some jars to store them when the time is right..it's pretty soon to make any assumptions on when they'll be ready tho..man you're a coffee shop in Amsterdam.. :D i'll be back later..got to set up the room..!!

That's what I said eMo, mine was down one day also..
And hey qroox, I'm gonna be hounding you for a smoke report also.. Also Wow! That is high humidity, I have heard about people drying them in paper bags in places like that or like a dehumidifier in a tight closet or bathroom..

I've just set up my tent.Man it was hard.It's very good material,not smelly at all.High quality..A lot better than the small one :grin:. Huge one as well..:smile: . It's dangerous to dry it there ? 60-65 during the day(they hygrometers are near the buds),then it rises to 70-75%(near the buds,maybe 80%).Room RH is near 55(day) near 70(night).What would u suggest ? i got a small dehumidifier,and i can probably empty a closet.Do it there ?

Who called you a noob!?? Where? I'll kick there asses. :)

With tools we are not monkeys. Are doing it all correctly, in that you produced. You are measuring the humidity, and may you have a no-mold cure.

Looks good. I leave a lot of stem and hang them upside down. That allows the stem moisture to slow things down.

The only reason we want slow, is that if it goes too far, under 50% in the jar, you can't recover. Slowing that down gives us time.

A fan across them on a screen.....ya did good.

And to think that i've fucked up things myself..I could have done even better..:D (messed up my Ph like a LOT.I did not overfeed but adding a higher amount of fertilizer was making my water too acidic..and i mean REALLY LOW -4.5-5 measured run off)I fixed that. .I got my self some goot fertilizers and i'll test em all next grow..see what i like or performs best! I got some sprouts going on..i'll start a thread this night for every strain..!!

DSC_0335.jpg my lady after harvest.She looks really green and happy.Not bulking up really fast but i'll give her 2 weeks.Gotta get those seedlings ready!

DSC_0336.jpg My green-o-Auto.And it's 12/12 from seed.Double the size than the previous one...more leaf,more green more everything..i can see myself improving..!! :)

DSC_0338.jpg In the background and on your left,my other green-o.Both feminized seeds.Green house seeds..looking good.No smell until harvest,yet really nice and spicy if you get close or shake the plant.

The rest seedlings are : KC45 auto x6
The Ogre x1 auto + fem
Dj Short's x5 Blueberry regs
Freedom haze x2 fem
Flower Power x1 fem

Thank you for your kind words sir..Perfection is my goal..!! :) It's a little tricky part.I feel relaxed growing now..I can't say the same about drying-curing.. :D

It is plenty good enough. We want excellent yields, no more, no less. :)
I really wanna taste some..I left 3-4 small buds on my rooms radiator..3rd day today..still smelling ''something'' ,i wouldn't say it's ready o.o..with a smell of weed but not like it was on the plant.I also got some of my pop corn buds in a jar and see what the Rh will be in 10-12 hours.They were sticky and smelling good(not that chrlorophyl - water - hempy smell) .I'll see how it goes.Any ideas to make it available sooner? I wanna treat em well, dry them out properly..and taste something now ^^.

Sure. gently spread open a budlet and pop it into the microwave, 15 seconds at a time, until it is dry enough.

Take a big hit....hold it....hold it.....Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa.

Own grown bud. Nothing like it.

And you can water cure. I have done it, you need to look it up. It cures in a few days and tastes good. The color is a weird gray green, however.

The hay smell will replace that green bud smell, during cure.

With the conditions stated above,and an approximate humidity near 60-65 (room RH).How many days would they take,or what signs should i look for ? It's a very tricky part,and i'd like your personal experience as well..!! will hit that microwave this morning..My shift is night today,so i'll go get some deeeeeeeep morning toke for all you guyz here..!! :)

I forget what thread I'm in. I just explained this somewhere else, yesterday. Find my post?

IAC, when the RH of the pile can stay in the mid-high 50s and not spike, then you are ready to try the jars.

This is only about humidity, but not of the room. What is the humidity after an hour in a closed paper bag?

What is the humidity after you put the 50s RH into a jar for an hour? I guarantee you until you get the pace and tempo, you will get spikes and if you ignore spikes for some formula, you will get mold. The pace and tempo varies with the seasons, stem sized and how dense you grow those big dank things. You got pretty good density, this time and that slows down the dry.

You need a meter. Either a Caliber IV. Or I found this little jewel, I will try. $4.23, Free Ship. You need a little meter to live with the buds, like a sheep dog.
