Ended up with just under 2 oz dried. Gonna let it cure for a month and test it out again. I did quick dry a bud to test, tasted like shit and didn't last very long but it did gave a decent buzz to it and I only took one hit. Hoping the cure brings the flavors up and kicks potency up a bit. Crossing my fingers that maybe I didn't harvest it as early as I was thinking but we will see. Regardless, I think it will still be ok for cooking or naking caps with even if the smoke is subpar.
Thanks David. Just got done with an extremely busy christmas season on the business end of life.
Wanted to give a final update.
After curing this turned out much better than I was thinking it would. Smells fairly sweet and the taste is much much better after curing for just 5-6 weeks. The smoke also has a bit of staying power now. Gets me up and wanting to move, happy and a bit more chatty than usual. Initial high lasts about an hour from 2-3 tokes with a nice residual kind of mellow feel good mood for another 2-3 hrs. Does not make me tired but I do need to hide the potato chips better
More journals to come!
