Pumped out a couple vids from weekend at the field.
Yeah. I've been flying awhile now. Planes & freestyle drones. Trying a helicopter and 3d plane this season. Learning curve on planes isn't too bad, especially if you do a little simulator time.Have you done aerobatics in an airplane?
I’m finishing a couple now running low 70’s, I’ve got them in paper bags. (grocery size) still on the stem. I removed most fan leaves.Going to be rough. This time of year can't get under 70. Sitting at 72 / 57

I start at 68 to 70 for three days and 65 percent humidity, for phase one of drying,( chlorophyll conversion) this fast tracks the enzymes( chlorophyllase, oxidases and proteases) that break down chlorophyll. Then I drop to 60 degrees and 60 percent humidity for days 4 through 10, which is phase 2 of drying, the carbohydrate conversation phase, which the enzymes amalysase and glycolytic convert complex carbohydrates and starches into simple sugars. Please note that terpenes start gassing off at 69 to 70 degrees on average. The only reason I start at 68 to 70 is to give a safety cushion from botrytis, which happens a lot post chop with huge buds. If you dry at 72 or above you not only are gassing off terpenes, but also are creating a " skin " on the outside of the bud which will inhibit proper gradual outside to inside conversion, resulting in black ash, off tastes, etc. This is why I keep reiterating the importance of full environmental control for all phases of growth and post harvest cultivation to achieve maximum genetic potential.

I’ve read somewhere curing in the 70’s is actually better? I don’t know, but it’s working for me.
