Check out post 145 from January 9. Even though I defoliate a lot more than you do, the leaves and baby buds look remarkably similar.
How many days has it been since you started your plants on 12/12?

It’ll be week 5 day 6 tonight when the lights come on. Flipped 5 weeks after sprout.

I’ll say that’s affirmative. Thanks. Mine has a very lemony smell. Overpowering.

Like what I think lemon Pez would taste like.
I’ll be keeping it around for a while. Got a few clones vegging just waiting for the flower tent and I’ll be cutting clones from those tonight

87 days since flipping. Still no amber and new pistils showing up every day.
I’m wondering how long she’ll keep this up.

@OlyBoy98503 , she looks frosty. Mother Nature has her own schedule. I always add 2-3 weeks to my Man plans , to sync with Mother Nature.

So earlier this evening, I realized I had not checked on the buds drying downstairs. Two branches snap… and not like bend & snap, but like snap & break off. Here they are at harvest (03/06)
and 4.5 days later (03/11).
So I trimmed and this is what I got.
A little over two zips. (Thank you, Backup!) Here’s a sparkly pic.
Instead of putting them into jars, I wanted to see if they had/would stabilize at an RH of (or slightly below) 62%.
So I have a couple of humidors. This particular one I wasn’t using any longer, so I conditioned it to 62%.
And then I put my buds in it.
All these hygrometers have been in the humidor for a while now. The one circled in yellow is consistently displays 1% less than the two circled in blue. The one circled in red is usually 1-2% over the ones in blue. The one circled in green is 1-2% above the one circled in red. The big tan one is the Bluetooth enabled hygrometer that I’ve been using to monitor the grow and the drying. I just really want to see what it displays, compared to the rest of the hygrometers that have been in there for a few weeks. And to see what the RH of the buds is right after drying and how close it is to 62%. And how quickly the RH stabilizes.
As soon as it’s close to 62% (for a day or so), I’ll jar these buds and continue to burp the jars as the plants continue to gas off.
I read somewhere that storing bud in humidors is generally a bad idea. It’s possible that the buds could absorb something from the cedar. That may be true. But these buds will be in the humidor (just like this) for probably ONLY TWO days.
I did (pretty much) the exact same thing two weeks ago after drying Duchess. Except I didn’t have the digital wi-fi hygrometer in the humidor. So I’ve got a 3x5 car around here somewhere with the dates and readings of each of the hygrometers before Duchess went into jars. Right now, those two jars have been sitting at 59-60%. I haven’t noticed anything cedar-y about the buds at all.
And I’m totally fine with those numbers, but that’s still just a smidge high for where I would like to level off… but we’re still burping.
Here is my drying data from Sat afternoon to Thurs morning.
And here is the start of my conditioning time data, while in the humidor.

Looking good brother! Congrats on the harvest.
I know nothing about humidors but a fan leaf or two in the jar with the buds for an hour. Then let stabilize and check. Repeat if needed. Works wonders without messing with smell or anything.
