Sniping the 1st sample bud

Snipped the first bud that was one of the smallest to check tricomes and get a real close look. Not going to lie, it satisfied my need to harvest :joy:

Going to let it dry and cure. The rest of the plant is going to continue in soil for maybe a week and a half.

It weighed in wet at 2.5 grams, but she is the runt of the litter.

Don’t forget that when dried it won’t weigh 2.5 grams maybe 3/4 or half a gram

Yes I think it will fill the pax 3 a couple times. I think it will tide me over until the rest is curing in jars. I haven’t smoked in 30 years. Just became legal here so I thought I would try my hand at growing. It’s been a blast so far. I’m going to do another one right after this. Have like 4 seeds left. Just do one at a time.

Quick question…it’s at 18% on the moisture meter. Do I start to cure it in a jar at 10-12%?

Ps: never thought I would own so many meters.,

Humity meter, PH meter, TDS meter, I guess when you’re new to it you need all the meters you can get :joy:

For cure HR should be 55%
And good curing is BTW 2 weeks to 4 months

Open you jar twist a day for the fist week for 5 minutes and on the second week just one time a day

Happy growing :metal::christmas_tree::green_heart:

It’s 43% In the room. I have the two prong moisture meter and stick it right into the bud

Should be good 43% :+1:

PS: i feel you about meters, I’m rookie to but so far i just used and buy PH meter and temp and hr meter :sweat_smile::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Not sure on the science of using on buds, but have seen some posts. For $18 I was like why not….,

I have that same one I just got it a couple months ago

My last harvest I got a moisture meter when it read 12% I put them in jars.

Thanks for the info. 12% it is. Appreciate you responding.

Checked this morning. It’s at 14% down from an original 19% and went from 2.5 grams wet to 1.1 grams at this point. Lost more than half its weight with about 5% moisture loss.

Kind of a neat experiment.

Have you thought about entering her in the Strain of the Month contest for April? I entered a Granddaddy Purple Fem in November figured what the heck nothing gained nothing lost and I won. That is a nice looking bud.

I did :joy:. Thanks for the compliment I used that exact same picture. Like you I thought heck why not. We will see. It is pretty cool looking. Like I said this is the first time for me and the forums have been a blessing. I would never have thought about all the things I needed to do and check without either researching here or posting. Good people.
