Thank you !!! Hey Rain do you have any lotus drying tips? Im trying to figure out the steps better.
I see some people say they cut the plant, put the bud in the jar, then the fridge, then about a week later or so they switch to paper bag to speed up the drying.
Basically I dont know if I should jar it first or bag it first XD

Everyone does it different because of things like their different humidity and how much they want to tend it. I cut the plant, hang to dry until the bud feels dry on the outside and it’s usually crispy at the tip then, about a week or two. Then I put in a paper bag for 2-4 more weeks to cure.

true I ended up cutting it, letting it sit on my shelf in the closet for four hours to air dry a bit, then into a paper bag and on the wire rack of my fridge it goes , ill check on it in a week and probably open the fridge a few times a day to spike the humidity and slow it some .
Once dry I think im putting her into a grove bag
Sad news btw , I lost the little vial that had the first seed XD , but its okay she produced more
my little mini fridge already reeks LOL

Sounds good. I am one of the least fancy, least attentive dry & cure folks around.
I wash mine thoroughly so they are also dripping wet when I hang them.

Oh, and good to leave the seeds on while it dries. 
Ah right on, I didnt even hang mine. Shes so tiny XD.
She just sat on the shelf for four hours and shes in a paper bag now in the fridge for the low and slow method dr ziggy made <3
Im on page 11 by now but it was a good read DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying: Maximizing Your Harvest | Page 11 | 420 Magazine

Might try that if I had an extra fridge, or one with any space

From what im reading its markedly better than hanging air dry, oh and even less work than conventional drying methods XD
It preserves the monoterpenes that would just evaporate into the air . Which is quite neat.
In the thread someone said their fridge dried bud had noticably more mycrene in it which is the terp GREAT at getting noids past your blood brain barrier <3
Ive seen some pics posted too, It looks way fresher

Very cool!
I think myrcene is one of my favorite smells.
We do keep our house fairly cool, 60-68, so it’s not as bad as it could be. I just want a Cannatrol. Set and forget is my jam

Ah right on , I think this method will end up being right for me at least with smaller harvests
Although some use whole fridges and dry the whole 10 oz plant XD

Interesting trait noted on the tent girl.
Near the flower nodes she’s switched to one blade leaves !
I can’t tell you how long it’s been but I’m liking her
Here’s syrian v as well

Alpine Gleux by High Alpine Genetics has been lotus drying for three days… I got impatient and snuck a few tester snips into the vaporizer and I’m already happy.
Smells : subtle at first but turns into a grape floral intense smell. Almost like a fruity chocolate? Hard to put my finger on it .
Effects : for CBD, tbh very nice. I feel the effects almost instantly. It’s this calming relaxation that sets in and makes me feel damn good.
I’m very excited to grow out the Alpean x Kullu F1s. Very excited to see what Kullu gave Alpean.
In my opinion in the f1s I think I’ll see some THC dominant and a few CBD dominant depending on pheno. I think the THC dom phenos will offer a Sativa dominant hybrid high with some backend relaxation from the Alpean.
CBD Dom phenos imo will be the perfect wake and bake get work done and still function sativa type of Type 2.
NO idea yet though.
I have 3 viable seeds so far

Took a decent bit of leaves off the tent girl , I realized she still had quite a few leaves blocking multiple bud sites and I was kind of worried about airflow. Nothing to major, it’s still early in flower and I think to be quite honest I’m done touching her till harvest so she should recover well !
