Hey again friends.
Its a sad update this time around. The crop that seemed so perfect last week, has now been reduced to a moldy crop. I went away for 4 days, and when i returned, 50% of the buds was suffering bad from mold. It has been very humid for the last week, and caterpillar shit has probably also played a role in the mold attack. The biggest and densest cola on my green pheno was almost totally ruined, and alot of the other buds were too. Only plant that was mold free was the affie pheno, because its still far from finish and not dense at all.
Well i chopped and felt really sad about my dry sift plans being reduced to nothing...when it hit me..it might still be saved by iso alcohol. So i chopped and snipped all the buds in small nugs, and spread it out on newspapers in a hot ventilated room. I wanna dry this real fast, and ill just have to oil it up instead of the dry sift i had planned. Im guessin ill be left with about an elbow of dry weed, which will all be QWISO´d when its dry. I know its sad, but ill still end up with a concentrated resin product, so i really shouldnt feel that bad. I spent 8 hours manicuring the crop with my girl and lil sis...what a heavenly smell we sat in..Alot was moldy and i seperated it a little from the non moldy parts, and sat it closest to the heater to stop the mold process faster.
Any advice as to the drying process/oil process are more than welcome atm.
So heres the sad pics:
