A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

[GreenState]

Not the best pictures(pretty far away), but just saw this moose out back. Looks like he's putting on antlers

Looks like a decent weekend, finally!
Busy time of the year for me, priorities have changed to making money.

No snow for us whew I buttoned up the gh just in case but it looks ok out there how bout you did you get any

[oldjarhead100]

good luck on the job thats something I'll have to tackle someday I have one end of my barns footing is below ground and the support beam has been slowly rotting away

No different than a jar the first few days. Basically distributing the moisture content evenly between and throughout the buds, burping as needed. I suspect over a longer period of time the ziplock would leak moisture unlike the glass jars. All that said, it went in jars this morning, 4 1/2 qts.
Such a huge difference in drying this last one as I haven't had the woodstove going. This time of the year I can watch the gaps in the woodwork in my house shrink up as the humidity level inside comes back up.
Off to look at a potential job this morning, 100 yo log cabin with a shitty block foundation, crawlspace.

Put the buds in a 1 gal zip lock to homogenize them???explain this please ,what do you mean by Homogenize

[Mr.furley]

115g is nothing to shake a stick at, what ever gets it done. I was speaking more for myself to not buy another hlg-100 this week.

[GreenState]

Is that a hint? I can hear you thinking, jeez the guy is out buying shares of stock and he grows weed with a frick'in parking lot flood light! (vgb)

[Mr.furley]

Just stay off Ebay or you may end up with a new light!

[GreenState]

Thanks Mr Furley. I did wait a few weeks to add the packs to the GG4 &BW, most of it will be stored for a longer time (needs to last until this time next year). I took the packs out for now and placed them in a plastic bag.
I don't have any fan leaves, but I do have 150 shares of UBER @ $42.00/sh, I bought just before noon (g). I can get myself in trouble on these rained out days!(lol)

[Mr.furley]

I personally never add humidity packs unless I plan on storing for a long period and even then I don't put them in till a couple weeks or a month after jarring. I think they make the weed taste different.
I use fresh fan leaf if I need to bring up the humidity in a jar.

Rained out today, so curiosity got the cat. Took the weed over to my buddy's to weigh it.
The white widow plant yielded 115 grams and it is pretty well dry, I'm happy.
On another note, seems to me the boveda packs(62%) keep the weed a bit damp for my liking. Is it just me?

[GreenState]

Last pictures until next years grow, I'm sure you'll miss them(lol). Followed your advice, still may have to chop up the larger buds a bit more. This white widow is definitely airy stuff, smells delightful.. Put the buds in a 1 gal zip lock to homogenize them, will burp as needed for a few days then jar it up. I'd love to weigh it and know the yield, but ce la vie..no scale.
Again, thank you all for all your help.

[oldjarhead100]

you can leave them whole but they take forever to dry all that stem , then you end up cutting it up anyway so I just cut them like the rest

[Mr.furley]

If you want to keep bigger buds around you are going to find a extra day in a paper bag may be need. Put a couple in a jar and the larger they get they will need there own jar. Watch your humidity close.

I have gotten to the point that I remove as much as I can put away from the stem about the last 2" for jars.
We ain't smokin stems round these parts.
