- PURPLE ELEPHANT UPDATE : CURE DAY 1 -​

Hey 420magazine friends!!!!!

So this is a fun update for me. These next two weeks are going to be extremely stressful, as I have my finals coming up on May 11th... Which also happens to be my birthday... Yay me right?!?

I'll certainly have a reason to celebrate once I finish Physics though... Took a break from studying this morning to put together some pictures for this update So let's get on with it!!!

......


The Purple Elephant dried in my DIY Dry Box for 4 days, the first day the fan was on, and the RH inside the Box was a constant 30%. Days 2 and 3 it hung around 50%, and dropped to 30% on day 4. The branches all snapped when bent and the buds felt exactly how I wanted them to feel, so I went for the final chop.

I cut all of the buds off into 12 self sealing Mason Jars. The most peculiar thing happened while they were drying, by day 3 in the Dry Box the buds were smelling a lot like grass or hay... And when I jarred her up on day 4 she was smelling really dank... Very odd.

The trim is still in the freezer, turning it into Bubble Hash tomorrow with two of my friends from the forum These buds look KILLER, very happy. Going to let them cure for 2 weeks before I even touch them, the first week I will be burping for 30 minutes once in the morning and then another 30 minutes around 9:00pm. Then for the second week I will burp them once in the morning. Then on day 15 we shall see how it turned out!

DRY WEIGHT : 100.5 grams / 3.58 ounces

......

Decided to get creative this morning and put together something all of us on 420magazine should have....

a Bud Porn Set.​

Get a piece of Foam-Core board that is big enough to cut three 9" x 9" squares out of.

Then measure out those squares and start cutting! For the most effective cuts, use a flat steel ruler and an X-Acto Knife.

Because I like my models to look as aesthetically pleasing as possible, I measured out a 18" x 9" piece, and then on the backside cut ALMOST all the way through. So that I could bend it up and get a perfect corner. I glued a Balsa Wood dowel in between the two walls for stability.

Personally, my next step was: Take a PHO dab while the glue drys.... Diagonal Propane Hash Oil from Craft 710 Labs.

Got a little too high and forgot to take pictures of every step.... but basically you just glue your third 9" x 9" square to the other two.. And badda-bing badda-boom!

Slide a Paper-Clip into the Foam-Core board to make a nice little bud stand

And there you go! This cost me nothing to build because I have so much Foam-Core laying around for Architecture. But I doubt it would cost more than $10 to get all of this from a Hobby Store. EASILY replicable on a large scale... three 5' x 5' board would make an excellent Plant Staging Area.

.......


So let's put that bad boy to use! I present to you all, my best harvest yet. Purple Elephant after a 4 day dry and 1 day cure. Enjoy

And here it is all jarred up. I labeled the tops according to the size of the buds inside.

......

I hope you all enjoyed watching this grow. I can't give enough shout-outs to KCMP for giving this girl too me after 4 weeks of Veg. He killed it and I will be forever grateful of his generosity. I am hanging out with him and Subnoise tomorrow to run our trim and smoke a little. So I will have another fun update for you all then!

May your gardens be ever bursting with beautiful flowers!!!!!!!
