Congrats again Wrenn! Really happy you had a great experience on your 1st grow, with the kit and low and slow! You nailed it with the low and slow. My last crop, I kept checking them and thinking they were never gonna dry then one day about 1/2 was ready for the jar and the other half was one more day.
Can I suggest taking the boost pack out of 1 or 2 jars to compare? They're not really needed except for long term storage and I've read they rob flavor from the buds. I realize this is controversial but I tend to agree. I do have some with (I have Bovedas) but only cause they got too dry. I don't smoke enough to tell the difference but I can tell the ones without smell much better! Duggan never uses humidity packs, I'm sure others don't either. Rambling now, ha!
Report back as to how your friends and family like your superior Meds.
Great harvest Ken....congrats to ya Mr! Looks like another happy grower....good on ya !
It sounds like it was worth all the effort!
you will never go back to salt based nuts
Morning Ken.. yes i go with 15mls per gal....every time.
Its on the heavy side so growers have to judge wat they require.cheers...
Members new to the kit... using a starter kit should not go that heavy on their first kit grow cuz they will run out of product before the grow is finished.
Harvest Update ,
Chopped the girls March 3rd. In the fridge March 4th 24hrs later.
Left one plant for another 2days because I got busy. Chopped her March 6th. In fridge same night after 4hrs drip drying.
It’s been just over a week in the fridge for the first three plants. And around 6days for the last one. temps are 40-55f and 30-40% RH. Crisper is the higher of those values.
I’ve been keeping tabs on them and taking them out to inspect almost daily.
Yesterday night is the first time I felt any crispyness on the sugar leaf. The buds are still moist inside. They have all been in either brown paper bags or cardboard boxes. All closed with small openings.
I tested a small batch of nugs. Around 5-6grams. Put them in a air tight glass jar. With a Caliber VI gauge. After just 2-3 hours the RH was up to 70-72%. Too wet.
Back in the fridge. Will check again either tonight or tomm. You guys weren’t joking about the smell. My entire house is rankkkk. . The fridge must be cycling air out or in. It took a couple days for it to build up.
The nugs have some “fresh green “ scents that I hope will go away. With the low and slow I can see 14-21day drying times. Also I didn’t do much trimming so that could also contribute to the fresh green smell. Once I get them close to 65-68% stable over 24-36hrs in a jar. I will pull the trigger and do a final manicure. Then I plan too vac seal them down in 1-4oz packets. Is it safe to vac seal them in ziploc bags or will that crush the buds and stick alot of resin to the bag? I can buy a jar sealing kit if needed.
I am not sure if it’s my lights or just strain but the nugs aren’t as dense as I would like except on the small plant. Those feel solid. With any luck the rest of drying / curing and the vac seal will tighten them up a bit and I’ll be satisfied.
Some of the smells the plants exhibited while growing are still present although not as strong now. I’m hoping those return with a vengeance once curing happens.
I have tested a few small buds that I dried in a small brown paper bag left somewhat open. They dried out faster and were probably still moist inside.
Used scissors and let them air dry on a table for a little before I rolled them up. The smoke is not harsh at all and the draws are smooth and filling. A bit of the green type taste on the exhale. But not much to notice. The high was intense. Racy and sativa. Lasted a couple hours maybe. Not bad as I’m a daily smoker for 15years.
Here’s some pics ! Cheers Gang.
A couple windshield washer cardboard boxes fit well in the fridge.

Glad to get my dirt back
This fridge smells ALOT !!!
Put less in this bag because there is some bigger colas with a lot of veg left on it.
Sugar Land in here
Will give next update once drying is done and final trim / weight. Thanks guys this was a great grow for me. Learning a lot and excited to get another round going come April.
Have a great day Gang
Nice work getting your friends on the Doc Bud train! Damn that GG4 is frosty AF! She's also very Brixy! Look forward to your next journal. Be sure to drop a link here or over at Docs when you start it.
Thanks Ween they are loving it and killing . Yeah that GG4 is ridiculous , here’s a close up. Few weeks left.
Have a great Good Friday and Easter
Lookn great man congrats. I bet she is jus guna ooze resin when she is done by the looks of her lol. About how big did she get for you? And did u notice more of a main cola then a bunch of side branches? Cause the one I ran when untopped it would make just a huge ass main cola. If you could you think you could take a few full body shots of her. But yea man lookn good tho.
