Well I did not bring down the DP as planned last weekend, but I plan for the ax to drop tomorrow. View attachment 42373 View attachment 42374 View attachment 42375 View attachment 42376
Saturday will be day 71 from flip to 12/12.
She has bulked up well and the buds feel really dense.
I’m excited to see how the buzz is with this strain. I’ve never grown anything anywhere close to it before.
Cheers,

That plant looks awesome! Nice work bud!! Not trying to throw shade at all, but why the wet trim? Have you tried dry trimming yet? Completely changed the game for me when I first tried and I'll never go back... Just some food for thought brotha ?

What up MO.
No offence taken at all, my friend.
To be honest, this is only my third ever harvest and I just don't know any different.
I did change the process a little when I had access to the bowl trimmer. At first I would wet trim and then hang the branches till they were dry enough to bag. Next I cut the buds from the stems and put in large brown paper bags until I reached a RH of 65%, then into quart jars with hydrometers to verify RH.
Now I have just skipped the hang on the stems step. I cut all the fan leaves off (to not screw up the trim 'shake' for edibles), run though the bowl trimmer, and hang in a collapsible 'herb drying rack' till dry enough to bag and then jar.
That was a long way of saying I've never tried dry trimming.
What is your process, and why do you feel it's better? Do you hang the plant whole? (I have read that this helps slow the drying process)
I am open to your (and all other's) input.
Cheers,
WillieP

Hey all,
Just a follow up on the Durban Poison harvest.
I tried a test vape of the trim, because the buds are still to wet.
In attempting to describe the high to my wife I said 'that will take the lazy out of ya'.
Very euphoric and energetic!
Lets say you were at a party and having a great time, unfortunately you get called away for something.
But then you were able to get the problem cleared up, and return to the party.
That feeling of excitement as you rejoin your friends is what this high felt like to me.
Just on the edge of a grin...all the time.
I tend to group the effects of cannabis into two categories, getting high and getting stoned.
This is definitely, getting high.
I only took two hits and the high lasted 1.5-2 hours. Very enjoyable.
I'm not much for giving a smoke report, but I hope you get the idea.
Cheers,
WillieP

PS
I went through my seed selection and have decided that the next two strains I will try are the M99 from @MO_Grow and a Pineapple Express.

That DP sounds pretty dope! Looking forward to what you get with the beans I sent ya. Just for clarification those are M99 F2 I made to share from F1 stock from Sebring Seeds?

Just as a reminder everyone has their preferred methods, I actually half wet trim and half dry trim and use a Wedryer rack to dry my buds individually and prefer the results. I hang whole plants sometimes in the winter when my basement is dry but in the summer, even with the dehumidifier cranking it's just too humid down there and I don't like the end result when I hang whole. I think a lot of times the drying environment has a big impact on what method works best. Definitely try hanging whole next time just to see which you prefer though... just keep an open mind!

Also, that DP looks amazing, nice work Willie!

Thank you GC for your kind words.
I totally agree that the drying environment is a huge factor in the outcome of the dry and cure.
One could be in the high dessert of Colorado, or the southern coast of Mississippi.
It could be the heat of August, or the cold of January.
Ideally we would all have a temperature and humidity controlled dry and curing areas, (and some people actually do), however, most of us are not that fortunate.
We need to do the best we can with what we have to work with.
If you have successfully found drying and curing methods that work well for you in your unique environment, then cheers to you.
