Indie Grower's First Ever Grow In Closet: White Widow Auto In Regular Garden Soil, 50W LED Bulb, Advice Always Appreciated

[Indie Grower]

Two more seeds lost to germination! It's been a week since I started two Skywalker in a paper towel. The seeds have swelled enough and turing dark in color now. I am not able to control the temps for it but making sure that the medium is moist and warm. Still figuring out the gap! Any suggestions?

No crack in the shell?
Do you have sandpaper?
Roll sand paper to a straw place seeds in there, with tour fingers as stoppers in each end.
Shake them for 20 times...
Change paper towel/cotton pads and let the seeds back in the moisted paper again
Put the seeds in a warm place... Above the radiator, router or something..

No cracks yet! I do have a sandpaper for this experiment and I shall do change the paper towel in the evening.

I have kept the seeds on a router for continuous warmth.

It should do the trick.

So glad that the 420mag is up and working again!

Finally, yesterday I took a bud off my girl to have first hand experience of harvesting, drying and curing! Also made a drying box and it came out good.

When I was chopping off that bud, deep inside my heart, I felt thankful to @AngryBird and @Emilya for being my mentor in this grow, which was a roller-coaster since beginning.

Wish I could present this beautiful flower to you ladies!

I am sure this flower will treat me nice! How many days this bud should take to dry enough for curing?

 

[AngryBird]

You can test some without curing.. Jyst to feel the affect (flavour comes after curing)

The Quick Dry: A SweetSue Picture Tutorial

No one recommends it, but we’ve all done it. I decided to show just how I quick dry in the microwave when I want a quick taste and feel for effect. No, the effect you feel from a quick dry has no resemblance to what you’ll experience after you’ve properly dried and cured your harvest, but I’m...

You asked a very good question here...
It is a learned art to learn just where that moment is... snap but not break is what you hear as advise, as a test for the branches that you have hung in the drying tent. You don't want it to get too dry, but you are trying to get the RH down below 70 so that mold can't set in. Once it is down below 70 in the drying room I cut the buds from the branch and put them in paper bags, thrice folded to seal in the moisture. A couple of days of that will make the buds feel very crispy... still obviously with some moisture in them, but crispy on the outside. This is when I jar them or move them to whichever curing method I am going to use. Curing starts at 66% RH and continues until the moisture content drops below 59 % RH, when curing permanently stops and can not be reactivated. After curing, store your product at 58% RH for long term stability.

yep, right in the beginning of it

No problem with root tangling in cotton ball, or do you plant cotton ball and all?

 

[Emilya Green]

I have never tried planting the cotton ball, but I don't think it would cause a problem. I just pick the root out and plant it
