Harvesting, Drying, and Curing my last grow of the season

blackthumbbetty:

I didn’t want to start a journal at the tail end of my grow, but I thought I would share the harvesting, drying, and curing process I typically use on my grows.

The 3 plants I’ll be harvesting soon aren’t my best due to a bit of laziness during their stretch, which caused some light burn. This was a last minute grow, of strains I was just trying to get rid of, so I wasn’t as focused as usual.

These are autos, grown in a mostly Promix Bx medium using Earth Juice and lots of microbes, under qb lights on a 12/12 light cycle since germination.

Strains:
Sweet Tooth–grown once before, but wasn’t a fan of her taste or yield; I decided to mess about and top her, this time; she looks to be about the same, yield-wise, as my previous attempt

6 Shooter #1–grown once before, but wasn’t a fan of her yield; I decided to mess about and top her, this time; her yield looks to be at least 1oz higher than previous

6 Shooter #2–same as above; I decided to mess about and top her, this time; her yield looks to be at least 3oz higher than previous.

Sweet Tooth is just about ready for harvest; the 6 Shooters have a few more weeks.

Today, after 7 days of no food, I watered Sweet Tooth with 2 gallons of very, very cold, plain, unpH’d well water. I got ½ gallon of run-off. She won’t get anything farther from me, except the chop. I am thinking she’ll be harvested on Tues June 4th, Day 69 from germination.

I will post pics as soon as my internet allows. Stay tuned!

Here’s a link to help tell you when to harvest. I like to harvest at 10% or less amber, myself.

@mr.gritz

I’d love to see the pics you want to share! Try editing your post, but allow each file to completely upload 100% before posting. That way, we’ll all get to see your girls.

What happened? Thought we were swapping seeds? I’ve had your package in my car waiting for an address forever. Hope all is well

blackthumbbetty · September 1, 2019, 2:05pm

Me? Or someone else on the thread?

justgrowin · September 1, 2019, 2:36pm

@mr.gritz wanted to trade but still no address

blackthumbbetty · September 1, 2019, 2:48pm

Well, I have seeds for YOU, lady. Sending them soon.

Hey BTB, did you take the trichome pictures with a smart phone? Best trichome pics I’ve seen yet.

Thank you! I sure did! Using my handy dandy Samsung S10+ and a free macro camera app. I can do it w/o the app, but the app definitely helps to sharpen the focus of images.
