You doing as you should, sampling as you go. What dry method did you use and how are you currently curing?
I have my flower in a drying net hanging in my tent. All was good at 63 degrees/63 rh for the first few days. then this genius had to peep at his harvest (again) left my lights on at full blast in a mostly empty tent for a few HOURS. it was almost 90/40 rh. Unfortunately my slow dry has become a HYPER FAST DRY.
I plan on curing in generic grove bags. I am trying to keep it KISS and budget friendly for this run.
(I am just high and rambling after this point. read at your own peril).
While my GF had no issues with me spending a bonus I earned so selfishly on this project, I wanted to prove to myself (and maybe the ex-wife a little) that I could at the very least grow the mid tear stuff I get in the medical market (OK) at an approximate cost.
By the grace of god, in the rare instance that I had money in my pocket that was not sucked up into the void of dire need, an opportunity arose! Thanks to the glorious utopia created by Zuckerberg and his marketplace, I met a wonderful methamphetamine enthusiast who had an older model SF4K for 150 bucks, well below the price I was willing to pay for a much weaker light source. I was able to puth that money into upping everything else. I could buy equipment from companies who at the very least, had marketing in English. As well, my seeds came from not from nature (bag seed), but from Maine.
(Pope is thirsty, he drinks the little remaining melted ice in the grotesque display of holiday cheer meets fried chicken restaurant, and worries he needs to get up for a beverage. This cannot be. He eyes the joint of Pineapple Express sitting in his ashtray to jumpstart the edible starting its boosters. No. Must. End. Rambling. Post.)
My next run I am just going to modify a few little things and let her rip again.
I could talk for hours how gardening (in general, this all started last spring when I started with tomatoes) has taught me to not over complicate things when trying to become proficient in a new thing, and it allows me to give myself grace when I fuck up. It also teaches patience and observation over a scale that we don't get a lot in our modern lives. It's a wonderful reminder that we live outside of the scales, like ones paycheck, the duration of most entertainment we enjoy. Time gains weight in the way Terry Pratchett describes it in Discworld.
Sorry, I could ramble on for ages when I get the right cannabinoids in me. As is known by stoner lore and practice.
In keeping with my faith, as leader of The Church of the Sacred Capybara, I must commit an act of Hydration, followed by the sacred act of inhalation.
As always, be kind to yourself and others. Give and take kindness freely.
