A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

[GreenState]

Well, so far I've put up 5 qts. 2 1/2 each of the blue widow and GG4. The GG4 sounds like a jar of marbles when you shake it (g)

Thanks OJH, you can tell I have a case of novice's glee (lol)
70 degrees here yesterday, got a little sun burn even.

man they look fantastic I love hanging buds

White widow is looking awfully lonely this morning. I definitely should have kept feeding her neuts, was afraid the soil was getting to hot. Gave her a 1/2 dose shot yesterday.
Ah well, end of week 10 I believe flowering, but not showing much pistil color change yet. Really fluffy stuff.

Thanks all. We'll muddle through. Kind of caught off guard,I never expected to have this much weed, good problem to have I reckon.
Upped my schedule by a day, chopping down the blue widow this morning. Removed much of the greenery and am using it to heat my house (lol)
Now the sticky part.....
Edit-done : 102 days sprout to finish.

Yes like jarhead said wait until they start getting a little crunch to them then put the packs in. I thank I put mine in after about a week. Opening the jar every day for about an hour the first week then I went to packs and opening about every other day or so. Was going to get the hydrometer but never got to it last time. Then you can just add the packs when you get to about 50%rh in jar. And I always shake my jars to keep the buds moving so the same wet spots aren’t sitting on each other

[oldjarhead100]

I use hydrometers like you would put in a cigar humidor and I won't add the bovida until i'm at 62%rh

[oldjarhead100]

I've always just filled the jar never thought there might be a better way to do it hmmm

[George4green]

Don’t have a lot of experience but have done a lot of reading

[GreenState]

Thank you George, I just placed an order for them (8g 10pk)

[George4green]

I heat with wood also and read somewhere about these packs. The seem to help out so the bud don’t dry to fast when curing. I filled my jars about halfway then put one pack in each

Mr.furley
Thanks Mr furley, greatly appreciated. I did some google searching and of course estimates were all over the place, obviously due to variables. But you gave me what I was looking for and it really isn't important to me, just curious.
Will be jarring up the GG4, in my case because I heat will wood, some of my focus is on slowing down the drying process (g).
I can trudge through the house with snow covered boots and in an hour the floors are dry(g)
Also targeting this weekend to chop down the blue widow, then we'll be down to just the white widow.
In a perfect world I'd take the WW and another week or so, but we'll see. The WW seems to have big, fluffy(airy) buds, almost foxtaily.
Thanks again.
21 degrees this morning!
I'm going to need more qt. jars, I picked up 6 wide mouth jars at the second hand store, unfortunately that was all of the "wide mouth" ones they had. Also have a dozen pint size wide mouth, so we'll see.
PS: I'd take any advice you have to offer on jarring the weed. Might sound like a simpleminded question...but..big buds on top, bottom, mixed?
I understand the 3/4 full, the more I can tap your's (and everyone's) knowledge--the better. Some of this will be stored for near close to a year.(if I'm lucky)

[Mr.furley]

20 to 33 grams depending on Strain, Bud size, density...................
It's important to only fill the jar 3/4 to cure.

Anyone have a general rule of thumb as to the average amount (weight) one gets into a quart jar?
I know it's a difficult question, just trying to get a guesstimate
TIA
