My first attempt at growing

when i dried in Florida with the high humidity i hung my buds from hangers on the shower curtain rod of a small bathroom i had... with a fan and a dehumidifier going... it took 5 days for them to be mostly dry and then they were out of my house and off to the distributors... not nice of me i know, but that was the normal practice back then.... here in the Blue Ridge where i laugh at the locals when they whine about the humidity i just hang in a small closet for 5 days with no fan or dehumidifier and they come out nice and dry. sometimes i have to open the curing jar for a few hours and let em dry a bit more after a couple days, but not always.

i normally wouldnt dream of disagreeing with DB, but this time i gotta.... a dehydrator is NOT the way to dry pot! maybe my opinion comes from using one in Florida where the humidity was insane.... but anyway, i dont blame you for wanting to try DB's methods... if i hadnt used them before myself i would be off to buy a dehydrator myself.... don't commit your whole crop to that dehydrator. try some that way and try hanging some.

in the swamp you live in, it may very well take 2 weeks to get em dry without a dehumidifier and a fan going.

actually the dehydrator was suggested to taste a lil popcorn bud right now, to kinda judge where the plants are... He wasnt actually suggesting the whole harvest be dried in that way.. I have one lil bud from each plant in the dehydrator now!

I know this is a couple days late but that really sucks about your seeds. That surprises me really since the doctor came through with flying colors twice for me. The second time was 30 seeds:o Well funk that, the second time will be the last time. I see many clones in my future.

PS, your buds are finishing faster than mine for sure:-?

i am always amazed at how much better the smoke gets after drying properly and curing... my first crops were fast dried and i was disappointed with the product, but now that time has passed and i actually am smoking out of jars it gets better and better :D

you would think that it would be as potent as it was gonna be right after cutting but noooooooooooooooo

Ok I did as db suggested and took a small nug from each plant and put them in the dehydrator for about a hour and a half turning em every 20 min.. ate a large meal before this experiment also so this test is on a full stomach.

The cheesy smelling plant was the first one to hit the pipe. while it did not have a cheesy taste, it didnt have a bad taste either. really almost no taste at this point. started to feel a heady hight almost imediatly and slowly a body high started to creep its way in. At this point I with just the first bud sampled I am as happy as I could be!! this at this point is much better than I ever thought I would be capable of doing. the cheesy bud I did not break up well before packing and a lil difficult time with burning but it did burn.

next I broke up the abused and packed her in the bowl. already high from the cheese I am almost instantly feeling the blob come on.. one proud pappa at this point. Next was number 3 so high I cant really judge the high, but did have a lil spicy taste.. so at this point it is not harsh at all and gives a very nice pretty strong high!! and not close to done!! I think this will be some great smoking bud!!!

as Im mentioned a page or so back I was gonna have buddy here testing with me. Im gonna hand the laptop over to him and he is give is opinion of the smoke..

Starting with the "cheese". It gave me a nice head high that didn't seem to incapacitate me and had nice creep to it. next "Tina"(the abused ie tina turner) Instant gratification with this one, you feel it strong on exhale with a very comfortable high. Last but not least the "spice" lol. As HHM said (I wanted to refer to him as mary but he censored me) too high to judge by that point but there was a definite boost in the high. Properly cured this will turn out to be an impressive first crop. props.


hothouse again.. still impressed with the high a hour later!

Looks like mine was identical. Guess I was lucky. The return address for my second shipment was "Button Fun!!!" lol. I had the folded cardboard too but it's not pictured. At least you get to see what your seeds would have looked like... sorry.

dont go thinking i am all that... some of my advice has been proven to work very poorly in some situations.... i do try and speak from personal experience though, so that brings up my reliability ;)

Very nice- I dont think a grower can go without a test piece, I have one from the plant i harvested, taken a week early- almost ready- Wish I had one from each like that for different tastes and highs, thats great.

But I just harvested my second, kind of purply, and a bit early like the first- hermies- finished early before they spread. Can only hold em back for so long. Will Compare Holly to Helga as you did, cheese-simply#3-the abused. Cool your friend had a testimonial as well. I may have to do that- without telling them its mine of course...
