Journal 1: First Grow Ever

[ashhhh]

@Myfriendis410 Hey I was just lurking around the forum and came across a post where you were explaining the same thing you explained to me earlier about curing. The other post you mention you move the bud from the clear tote to jars once RH is 62% but you advised me once it reaches 65%. Which one should I refer to?

@Myfriendis410

When I get close to the point i think flower is ready to jar I put in a clear tote with a lid and an hygrometer over night to see where I am the next morning. Then I open the lid and cock it slightly to allow air flow and run a fan gently over the top to pull moisture out slowly. This might take me three or four more days until I’m down around 65% then I jar and put a gauge in a couple of jars

@Myfriendis410

Drying should not be done quickly: 7 to 10 days to dry, if you dry to ‘stem snap’ you went too far. I get to where I’m thinking they’re close and put ALL of the flower in a clear plastic locking-lid tote with a hygrometer over night. If it reads high (hopefully) then I take the lid off and blow air across the top of the tote all day and repeat. Once I get close to my 62% target it goes into jars with Boveda packs for finishing.
