The final tally is in. This was my first grow with 3 Critical Mass photo plus one clone from same so 4 mature plants were harvested after about 19 weeks of veg and flower.
The first pic is one week before I chopped all 4 plants, last watering. During that week the yellow leaves dried completely, curled up crispy and brown. Little trimming left to do.
The tin foil was a mistake. I did not have lids for my jar rings so RH fell to almost ambient 15 to 20% for about 2 weeks. Buds got crispy and so did Boveda pacs so not a good thing. Finally got lids, more Boveda and RH meters. In 18 hours the jar RH rose to 60% and the buds became soft and a bit more sticky. Now I know how to control RH during cure in jars. The tiniest hole will compromise your RH.
For a first grow my results were less than spectacular, barely mediocre in quantity and quality. (Bad) 135.43 gr or 4.92 oz. total jarred into cure weight. Last pic shows empty jar with Boveda pac and hygrometer which was my Tare weight. The trichomes were mostly cloudy with few amber when they just gave up and began to dry on the root. Never much frostiness and terpene levels are low with little stickiness when squeezing a bud. (Ugly) The smoke is mellow, little harshness, little high, somewhat cerebral but an excellent sleep aid. One bowl and I sleep thru the night. (Good) Not really what I expected from this strain so I have to attribute the poor results to my environment and care. So in retrospect I can point to several possible issues...under feeding in veg...somewhat under watered during late veg and thru late bloom. I really don't have anything in particular to point to as I thought I was following Nebula's program for grow in coco with 1/2 nutes schedule which may have not been enough for late veg and bloom so I chalk it up to inexperience and plan to be even more careful and observant than I thought I was from the beginning, reread the tutorials and try again. I have a lot of seeds of this from freebies so I will grow 1 of these going forward with other strains at the same time. All in All, not a loss as I learned a lot from this 5 month journey. Many of you contributed to what I will call a success and I do appreciate it very much. This is what it is all about..get help, give help in a way that benefits all. I have only just begun....Thank you!
