Thanks guys!
I only really documented half the trim job because my hands were a little busy. Itās actually 4 plants!
Iām pretty pleased with myself. I miss having a full tent already though

Normally Iād have pre vegged plants ready to go.
I feel like when I want cigarettes but donāt have any cigarettes.
Itās fine though. Iāve been growing hard for a long time now so summer break is exciting.
Itās a habit that needs to be shifted

Good day all:
I really like drying in a sealed room.
Iāve got one fan for air movement but no exhaust.
I havenāt even set up my inkbird yet. The humidity from the buds creates the perfect ambiance:
As they dry the humidity will drop so Iāll probably bust out the inkbird on day 4 or so.
All the best.

Awesome looking plants will be cool to see which you wind up liking best.
August is not that far off.
I dried in the same cabinet I grew in just unplugged the light and hung them upside down. Turned off one fan and turned the exhaust fan down. Worked nicely.

Thanks Herbie!
I try not to make judgements before the fact, and I think they will all be very nice, but so far the standout is the Blue Tara green pheno.
There was a whole lot of scissor hash from not that much leaf.
The OGer stretch pheno is a close second but I will reserve my judgement until after they cure for a bit.
I just do my best to not overdry. If itās done perfectly they go into the jars at 60%ish and I donāt even need to burp them. They just hold at that humidity until I start opening to pilfer from them

Man, this is about perfect. I smoke cigarettes off and on, never felt withdrawls, but am familiar with the āwant to smokeā feeling. Iām very familiar with it with growing. Somedays I wish I had 200 plants. But then I get busy other days and Iām glad I donāt!

Here is my highly ghetto drying setup. The inkbird runs the humidifier and the fan provides circulation.
It works very well. Currently set at 64% with an acceptable drop of 5%
All the best

It does have its advantages. It just means I canāt shave until theyāre dry 
Or have guests which suits me fine.

So Iām getting excited about making some hash. I just took a hit of what Iāve got aging and it got me pumped.
I donāt know if Iāll just do the trim or if Iāll use a whole plant of the OGer.
I donāt know. But Iām swirling the possibilities and Iām psyched.
Hereās a hash pic in anticipation:
All the best

If youāve got extra to spare the bud is the way to go.

I donāt have enough jars for this harvest. What Iāll probably end up doing is emptying the older jars and use that for hash and fill the jars with the new stuff.
I get my jars from ikea so I canāt even get more!

If youāve got access to a vacuum sealer do some that way . Iām positive youāll like it better than jar cured.

I do have a vacuum sealer.
Should I dry as normal and then vacuum seal and cure but in bags?
I donāt burp my jars anyway so this isnāt a huge stretch for me.

Yes dry down to roughly 60% then bag it into a ziplock . Try to remove most of the air from the ziplock leaving a bit in to create a cushion of sorts .
Then put that bag in a vacuum bag and seal donāt over squish it but you want it firm no air in the outer bag.
Freeze and store till a later date, I usually will take out of freezer a day ahead of wanting to smoke it cut open the bag and let sit .

What if I canāt freeze them?
Iāve only got a small freezer and Mrs Foreigner takes up all the space. Iāve got one vacuum bag in there from a year ago but the seal has gone so it might be toast.
I could keep it in the closet in the dark at room temp but thatās the best I could do.
