This is Farmer's Daughter by Humboldt Seed Company. She's 70% Sativa. The flowering time is said to be over 70 days. She was vegetated for 21 days, and today marks day 50 in flower, totaling 71 days. She has a very lemony smell and is oily. The flowers are really starting to develop.

What about humidity?

As I understand it, even after a slow drying period, you should still burp your jars once you've jarred the buds. This is necessary because gases are produced from the continued breakdown of compounds such as chlorophyll, and possibly ethylene gas, as your herbs ripen. Additionally, water vapor...

I am looking into living soil and other organic methods and most likely will implement something within a year.

Recent research conducted by RX Green Technologies sheds new light on the controversy surrounding the practice of flushing cannabis before harvest. The study, released in 2023, found that flushing cannabis plants may not improve the quality of the cannabis flower. Participants in a blind test...

How about the degradation of chlorophyll and other unwanted compounds that occurs as a result of a slow drying process. If the drying process is rushed and doesn't allow enough time for this to happen, can this contribute to the production of black ash?

Regarding your growing medium, you mentioned that you usually purchase pre-prepared coco but opted for a coco brick this time. After washing the coco, did you buffer it with CalMag? Buffering is crucial when using coco coir as a growing medium for cannabis. Coco coir tends to retain CalMag more...

One factor may be, how wet or dry, or how tightly packed a joint might be. Another factor to consider, I believe, is whether there are some impurities remaining that did not evaporate due to a short drying period.

I still flush, but my experience thus far has shown that proper drying and curing are key to having smooth smoke with white ash.

I can't stress enough the importance of adequate ventilation in potentially preventing mold. Also, do everything possible to keep your humidity below 60%.

Some varieties will continue to stretch into the fifth or sixth week of flowering. Bending them at this stage can often cause breaks if not done carefully, as the stalks, except for the part still stretching, have hardened by now. It's best to understand your variety and start low-stress...

It's time for Florida to follow suit.

only time will tell, but I think they will be fine, like I said, the seeds will stay in their original containers.

Understood, the seeds themselves won't be loose inside the canister. They will stay in the original plastic tube containers that most seeds come in. The tubes will go inside the canister. That way, I can keep different varieties in each canister after labeling everything.
