Does mj really get more potent cured?

Yes, I find the potency climbs a little each week as it cures, after about a month and a half it's about as strong as it will get In my experience.

I rarely drink alcohol, a Fuzzy Navel, now and then....mostly then.
A local fruit stand sells fresh seasonal juices...delish.

Does curing in plastic tubs instead of Mason jars affect .. anything.

I've heard plastic will make the buds retain some of it's chemicals and can be tasted but that depends on the type of plastic, baggies for instance def do, not sure about the various other kinds. With that said, I still occasionally use baggies.

I hate the Mason jars because I can't keep my long colas in one piece.
I'm going to do some in jars and some in plastic tubs. See if I can taste the difference.

Nice plants doubleJJ, I have a Super Lemon Haze and Ice too that look just like your blue dream with the mite damage. Do you think cold weather like below zero celcius will help to kill the mites? or do they thrive in that weather? I also noticed they don't bother with the mostly indica plants as well.

Many people use turkey bags to store/cure buds because they are food grade & don't impart any tastes to the contents....

Are ziploc baggies not food grade, too? I can easily buy turkey bags. Maybe a restaurant supply store would have good food storage choices, too.

All ready for the deep freeze tonight.

I found aphids on my hops plants when I went to harvest them today. It isn't bad and the cones seem fine. I picked two giant laundry baskets full so far and I am just getting started with the hops harvest. The hops are in the same yard as the girls so I mixed up some neem and gave them a little shower.

The greenhouse project is moving along, we got most of the framework up and the plastic should be here next week. The weather is supposed to be good through next week so I think we will finish the project before we need to heat anything.

More pics of the girls and the hops. View attachment 3256825

Never seen them before GB and jj u guys always got valuable suggestions mate cheers

I was afraid I'd break the roof, running up and down it.
Knowing my luck I'd land right on a plant and squish it. Then the rest would come down, like a tower of cards and crush the rest.

But come to find out its a lot more rugged then I thought.
( note to self; forward on lever to go up. Duhhh..!!)
