Looks nice! I found out that cool temps during the drying and curing is not good for protecting the terpense if it gets too cold. I experimented on a few mason jars full this past winter. I set them next to my back door in the back room of my basement where it gets no heat from the house and the cold actually destroyed some terpense, not all of them but alot, enough to make me realize that keeping them too cold, under 50 degrees F, will destroy terps and have unwanted effects. I think getting them too cold froze the tricomes and made them brittle and they either fell off or got knocked of and out of the buds. I was told that those Cannatrols they sell dry and cure at or around 68 degrees F. I feel that’s a little too hot but they produce good.
I just wanted to fill you in from where I left off when we were discussing this a few months ago. This is my update for you.
I think I overreacted on trichomes falling off, I used a new bucket buddy shiny black color and the trichomes looked white, when I pulled a branch through I saw a lot of trichomes on it, after scoping drying and curing they looked normal. Compared to how many I get with the trim bin it was about the same amount.
The temp and RH for drying the BD above was 52f 42rh daytime, probably colder at night
It actually slows the dry for me
I’ve grown about 8 BD plants and this last batch of 2 was the best tasting and high.
Update Time: 3-19-25 *********** Flip Day ************
Time to flip to 12/12
They are getting their color back nicely from the flush
After the flush and feed I feed with cal-mag and BW
The next day I got bad drooping again so I waited a day and a half and did a full feed and a little extra runoff and they bounced back.
Runoff PPM still low 700-800 PPM so I’ll do another full feed when dry, Ph was 6.1-6.4
Went in with 1000 PPM 7.1 PH

USD Ultimate Sunday Driver after a couple good crops she wouldn’t cooperate so I had to crop again and tie her down
The 2 plants on the left are getting 900-1000 PPFD DLI 42-44
The 2 plants on the right after cropping are getting 900-1100 PPFD 42-45 DLI
930 Watts at the outlet
The numbers are from the photon app if I put the PPFD in the HLG calculator I get different DLI
39 DLI left plants
47 DLI right plants
I’m good with either numbers the DLI will increase as they stretch
Drooping after feed with Cal-mag and BW
After feeding the day before and before cropping
After cropping again

I did break a branch on the USD I did a shit job of repairing yesterday so I rewrapped it today after the picture with pipe tape
Hanging by a couple fibers
Got most of my veggies planted in starters
Still have a few more and flowers to get started
Thanks for dropping by everyone have a great day
Stay Safe Happy and High! ![]()
Well, it was the loss of terpense when they are cured at colder temps. I’m not doing it that cold again. I had to try… It’s best to stay in the upper 50’s lower 60’s for sure.
I broke a top off one of my NL plants. I used stretch wrap to hold it together while it heals and used a piece of duct tape to hold the stretch wrap together. It’s making it. I’m surprised. I busted it clean off.
That’s a lotta veggies lol!! Gonna be busy buddy!!
Growing some for my 2 daughters as well
Happy Canniversary FOD Thanks for dropping in
For Sure
The temps and RH here change by the hour so it is too much of a pain, it’s not worth the effort IMO
I sure don’t want to spend the money to control everything with automation to control the environment
Thanks for dropping in Marty
That’s some impressive sprouting you have going on. The plants look great too. Looks like I’m back in time for the action. ![]()

Broken branch doing good back up to the light on USD
Yesterday then today
Drooping is already gone back to growing
Mail call from brother @OGIncognito thank you, very much appreciated, can’t wait to get some going
The rest of veggies have been dropped so I thought, my neighbor just gave me some sweet potato cutting today so I’ll have to make room for a 5 gallon bag on the table, oh well
My wife daughter and a couple of grandkids are on a plane to TX time to f off lol
Hope everyone has a great week grow on brothers and sisters ![]()
Almost forgot after a 6 week cure I put BD1 BD2 into Mason jars
I need to remember to mix them up a little during the cure they came out as a block like my head
I need to make some more gummies too.
Does anyone know How long my infused coconut oil will last in the fridge? This stuff is about 1 year old is it still good to use?
Wife kids and grandkids landed safely
Party on
my understanding is about 2 years… no experience though just what I think I remember I read… ![]()
That would be great
Thanks for dropping in brother
just watching my grow … and yours…
Digging everything you got growing on Grow Bro, good to see the seeds made it ![]()
Thank you brother I appreciate you dropping in and for the beans
