Club 600

Two things.

1. Did I tell you guys that Michael Jackson came over to my house to use the bathroom?

2. TGSS... not sure if I'm reading it right, but if you take care of your nephew that's a really cool thing of you to do.

EDIT: I had a thing for the girl names sam was it? The one on the plank in that vid.

I think it depends on the environment you are curing in. If your RH is low, leaving foliage intact may control humidity in the curing area. Same diff when people argue about PH-ing. If you "Just water them" then you have amendments in the soil, or your tap water is 6 to 7. PH your water. No, it's not worth it. Ya it is, Etc.

Exactly that's why I never say it is a "must do" anything.. there are too many variables. I have a RH of 40% or so in my area so I need some extra time or they crisp and never get cured correctly as I thought they were.

thx, i have the worst inlaws in the world though. My wife has a giant heart though. and he is like a son to me.
 
as always, some great things coming from the 600 lately.

so... not only did the Durban Poison hermi on me, early on... so i scrapped the whole strain... but about week 6-7 ALL of my Hollands Hopes... even the ones that were on weeks 4-5... decided to pop out a few nanners. just a few here and there... and then none... and then a few randoms here and there... and of course... bout 80% of my room is seeded. still a few weeks left on everything now... the pk's don't look seeded... but... we'll see when they are done. Pics tonight? Maybe tomorrow... depends on laziness.
 
I never thought it was a trolling question, I welcome friendly debate BBC:) Right, I like what I am hearing and I think from my point of view I may give a branch or two a try next run and see what is what. To be honest I have quite an open grow room in that it's door has fresh air seeping in and due to air suction the rh can be hard to control without ramming too many hot machines in there. So I find drying over a week with the buds trimmed is more to my liking. The majority if going out has to be completely leafless, otherwise it doesn't go out, they get humpy about that, even mates with shops.

Good to hear peeps opinions.

It basically slows the dry down, in my case by a day or two. It does in my opinion which may change, but to me it was a substantial difference. I am not saying that is a wrong way, if it produces what you want or need then cool man. This wasn't a troll statement to cause arguments, I am only stating for others that are on the fence about something better or a better way for "them". It's your weed/medicine man you do what is good for you no issues man there.

This is my method, visit my journal for the details for somewhat better then I care to cloud up this thread with.

Something I consider is how long the drying takes. I trim mine right off the stalk, but the buds still take around 7 days to dry. If my buds were only taking 3 days to dry, slowing that down by leaving the trimming for later would be optimal. I imagine taking my 7 days out to 10 by trimming after would make things smoother, but I can't be bothered. 7 days (and sometimes longer) is too long for my patience anyways. And when trimming dry, I can't get that perfectly manicured look I can when doing it wet.

Speaking of trimming I picked up a nice little dryer thingy from ikea. $5. Couldn't find a link, but it looks like the mesh things some of you guys use, that are round and have multiple levels.

I trimmed before dry for the longest time and just never gave trimming after dry a chance until 8 or so months ago. I gotta say I liked the latter more because of less work mainly. Id pull all fans and small fans off , then when it dried Id take all off but the sugar leaves that have curled over the bud, IMO this protected the nugs during handling and just seemed to keep them more sticky... I dont mind the little extra leaf matter as long as its covered in trichs.

Also, slower is better when it comes to drying/curing imo... Key is controlled environment drying bongsmilie.

Right on brother.. I think my main issue is that I have ~40% RH and my buds would dry crisp in 2-3 days max so then I jar them.. it quickly raise up to 70% humidity within hours. I air dry in couple hours crisp again, back to 70% humidity in hours. This would go on for weeks battling hay smell, and over drying the buds. This was buds basically manicured like I would if I am jarring, nice neat you know. Then dry.. but it seemed to dry quickly and then never let any moisture outside unless you cracked the buds when smoking but then its too late or even not started. This did bring out a hint of smell as well other then hayish, as the potency was decent I thought until now. From my first couple of runs, I can see already I wasted years of my crops doing it that trimmed dry way, the hay smell is NEVER there anymore, the smell is almost TOO much, the buds are the consistency and spongy feel I want. Before they were just hard, they looked beautiful but hard and ya they weighed more because of all the water retained maybe thats why many use it, quantity over quality the new American way (yes I am American).

This way it seems to never "trap" the water so the bud can not equalize per say and continue to dry and I think even cure. All I know is that the first couple strains I did with this method over my last method, was 10x better then anything I have produced and that is the only change I did because I wasn't satisfied with my end result (I never am but I am getting close).
 
DST turned me on to going from the dry rack to a paper bag for a day or two before jarring which has proven to be effective in slowing down the drying process and helping the true flavors come out.

I also jacked this idea;).When you burp jars how long do you usually do it for ?
Click to expand...


A few hrs at first then progressively less until the jar is burped no more ;-)
Well Ill tell ya something I learned from D wether he know it or not lol If you do happen to over dry something, put a fan leaf in the jar and close it and check moisture content until your satisfied then remove the fan leaf... And yes, you can leave the leaf in too long and get really soft almost wet buds again.

I also like the paper bag usage.

That's exactly what I was going to post.
Also, D mentioned using a small piece of fresh stalk to re-hydrate.

She was being grown more so to see what the genetics were like, and her size iz very small, lol.

I am satisfied with the way her smell and resin production is turning out though, and i dont think she looks to bad considering, she only gets water.
