Not a problem - share and share alike, right?Thanks muchMedMan! I'm always up for advice. Happy to have it in fact! That Pua is a wild child! @TurboBucket was growing a slew of them....I need to get over there and check his out! Keep the advice coming if ya got it!
I've been mostly growing Indicas and Hybrids, but anxious to try some of the Sativas from 70s et al. Finding this thread has got me stoked! It's taking all of my will power to NOT look ahead in your journal as I don't want to miss a thing. Only 57 pages to go!
You might be interested in what I'm growing now. LSD (circa 1963) from Eleva8 Seeds. Supposedly, a cut was gifted to the breeder to make sure this strain survived. Can't vouch for its authenticity, but the story sounds believable. This is my second go at it - as Doc says, grow it out three times to really "know" the strain. I'm doing 11/13 this grow (12/12) last. Can't say my first crop was spectacular - was hoping for some psychedelic effects, but not there yet. Still, a good smoke.
I've attached some pics of the three plants. All in 7 gal pots, day 24 of flower (11/13)
. Just had they're first CAT drench. I topped and encouraged 6 colas on each plant. The leading colas are filling in nicely. Note the difference in leaves from plant 1 and 3 compared to 2. Definitely showing a Indica phenotype with the fatter leaves. The last plant is growing above the lights at you can see. Be back soon!

So the girls have been in jars since Thursday. I ended up with 4 ounces on the Pua and 4.25 ounces on the Nirvana. They got too dry before putting them in jars. Dipsh*t move on my part for not paying attention. 
I put each in a plastic bag overnight. Still a bit dry. I put them in jars with 62% Boveda Packs and chopped up the main stem in 1 inch sections and put one in each jar. I'm hoping a bit of moisture from the stem with the gasses will release will help the buds to cure better. Fingers crossed! I will take my first taste of the Pua tonight!

mornin to ya LadyG...ya,..silly woman!! ....OK, next time don't cut up the stalks...leave them alone. The moisture in them will come out over a few days to re moisten the too dry produce OK. By cutting them up like that , they will continue to dry too fast. just sayin OK. cheers and enjoy your day...

Thanks Duggs! I appreciate the info. Yup...uhghuh...that's me! Silly woman!
I should have let them sit more then a day in the plastic bags then. I had them on the stalks but only for a day. Y'all will make a master grower yet! 
will take my first taste of the Pua tonight!
Many say an overdry is recoverable! How far did they go? The Bovedas are better at rehydration than drawing moisture out so they should set things right for you!
Great day to Ye m’Lady
As long as the sticks don't 'snap' , but bend...there is still ample moisture to remoisten buds....but it takes a couple days. Just make sure the bag or container is sealed up ,,,air tight. Cheers
Playing around with a new app...Looking back on my favorite photos of these two Mauis...and looking forward to a smoke report/comparison on both.
*Awwww you're a budding designer...hahahahaha Great job, seriously.

So my emergency re-hydration worked. I no longer have crispy buds!
I tasted the Pua tonight. It's smooth, even though not fully cured yet. I taste a little lavender flower crossed with rosemary/pine.
It's a really nice and mellow head high. Not a couch lock, but my eyes are real squinty! Calm, but not euphoric. Not overly strong, but not a lightweight strain either. It's not "THE" strain that I remember. No energetic wave or strong sense of wellbeing. Quite enjoyable nonetheless.
I will try it after the cure. Sorry folks! It doesn't rock my world. My White Whale is still alluding me. My expectations were, well... high! I'm off to bed. Feels like a good strain to be mellow with though.

Sounds promising for what I'm after. Can't wait to hear what else comes out after the cure.
Glad to hear that the bud re-hydration worked! Hopefully she will cure better for you sis! Hope you had a great weekend!
Glad it turned well even if it's not what you were looking for!
Well that sounds nice and relaxing anyway - even if it’s not the Wowie you remember. It can change a bit with cure I guess as TB says, maybe it will surprise you later!
Next the Nirvana. Have you tasted that yet?

The comparison will be interesting!

FWIW - when I get a seedling with a 'cap', I take an eye dropper and drip a couple of drops of water on it every day until comes off. So far, they've all come off.
