Drying my bluberry, advice please

Don’t do that. They will absorb all the humidity they are capable of, and dry out your product. A Boveda pack has a membrane that allows it to “breathe” in and out as necessary to maintain the humidity close to the number printed on the package (e.g. 57 for 57%, 62 for 62%).

Once you get used to the drying and curing process, you likely won’t need the assistance of the Boveda packs anymore.

Thanks for saving me man!

Thank you @pptrsha1. I never had my fans blowing on my plants directly. I have it blowing into the wall of my tent. Just enough so I see the leaves move a little. I have left them in the same place.

@Cannabian I’m lucky if I last 10 minutes much less, oh you mean the plant. Yeah, ok, got ya. Lol

Ok @Covertgrower, @Cannabian, @beardless, @CoyoteCody, @flyinghigh,
@Loudman,@Oldguy, @Hoppyfrog @pptrsha1, and @dbrn32: I would have listed more but they only allow me 10 recipients. Thank you all for your help for my first grow. Without all of your great advice I am sure I would have killed her. She made it 6 days drying, I couldn’t stretch it any longer. The scale doesn’t lie. I will never be the biggest or the baddest, but thats not why I am doing this. I got 2.767 ounces! That would set me back a lot more in the dispensary than I have invested into my grow “operation.” Yee haw!! I will be growing “blueberry, the sequel” in a month or so. I am asking for soil advice for grow #2. I have a post about that already if you have any suggestions. Thanks again everyone!!!

The first picture is the total take, and the 2nd is of my biggest cola (on the right) and the runner up cola. I love growing marijuana!!

Nice job! Now dont forget to burp those jars! I normally remove the lid for 10 minutes for the first part of this process for good air exchange. In a month or so tge chlorophyll will be mostly gone and it will change from mediocre to pretty darn good pot!

I was going to but thanks for the reminder. “I am not a smart man, but I know how to burp.” How often do I need to burp them?

Congrats on the awesome harvest!

Couple times a day in the beginning, if all looks good then once a day after the first week, then if still good, once every other day and so on. Eventually, the stem moisture and bud moisture will reach the right consistency.
