Cool, yeah it depends on several factors how long it takes to dry. When I have dried for 3 weeks, its been too long generally, and they end up a little on the dry side. Thankfully the sun came out with some wind and started the drying process again today. It was mostly cloudy early on though, its tough drying these out in the high humidity. I think it was at 70% or more all day.

The flower at my house still won't burn real well because it has some moisture. I jarred it up once the stems snapped, but they still had some interior moisture. It talks about in that post about harvest and cure process that you want the flower to dry evenly and not be dry on the outside with moisture on the inside.

I was cutting them up a lot initially and hanging them on coat hangers, but started running out of time, so I did it how I usually do it with larger branches like yours. It does help the curing process, plus its less work.

Some of the flower was so dense though, it had to be cut up. I will have to document with some photos the DC x Las Vegas Purple Kush x Hindu Kush becuase its so incredibly dense. Will have to check on those, maybe try smoking one again for a Friday night special, hopefully its dry.

Yeah the Early Skunk x Lebanese have some full flower heads and a sharp potency and good lively refreshing flavor. Would be well worth it. Would be good to do some selections and move the line forward and bring out more dense head phenotype keepers in the offspring. Will let you know after more testing.

It was somewhat shaded because of competition and were in the corner, but they ended up doing pretty well and producing a lot of flower with rows of branches!

Fast flowering plant too, at least it started early, and it produced new flower well even after being seeded in early August.

Jeremiah 50 NKJV​

​

Judgment on Babylon and Babylonia​

50 The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.


2 “Declare among the nations,
Proclaim, and [a]set up a standard;
Proclaim—do not conceal it—
Say, ‘Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed.
[b]Merodach is broken in pieces;
Her idols are humiliated,
Her images are broken in pieces.’
3 For out of the north a nation comes up against her,
Which shall make her land desolate,
And no one shall dwell therein.
They shall [c]move, they shall depart,
Both man and beast.

4 “In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The children of Israel shall come,
They and the children of Judah together;
With continual weeping they shall come,
And seek the Lord their God.
5 They shall ask the way to Zion,
With their faces toward it, saying,
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord
In a perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’

6 “My people have been lost sheep.
Their shepherds have led them astray;
They have turned them away on the mountains.
They have gone from mountain to hill;
They have forgotten their resting place.
7 All who found them have devoured them;
And their adversaries said, ‘We have not offended,
Because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice,
The Lord, the hope of their fathers.’

8 “Move from the midst of Babylon,
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the [d]rams before the flocks.
9 For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon
An assembly of great nations from the north country,
And they shall array themselves against her;
From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of [e]an expert warrior;
None shall return in vain.
10 And Chaldea shall become plunder;
All who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the Lord.

11 “Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,
You destroyers of My heritage,
Because you have grown fat like a heifer threshing grain,
And you [f]bellow like bulls,
12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;
She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a wilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord
She shall not be inhabited,
But she shall be wholly desolate.
Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.

14 “Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
All you who bend the bow;
Shoot at her, spare no arrows,
For she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout against her all around;
She has given her hand,
Her foundations have fallen,
Her walls are thrown down;
For it is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her.
As she has done, so do to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
And him who handles the sickle at harvest time.
For fear of the oppressing sword
Everyone shall turn to his own people,
And everyone shall flee to his own land.

17 “Israel is like scattered sheep;
The lions have driven him away.
First the king of Assyria devoured him;
Now at last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”

18 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

“Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land,
As I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 But I will bring back Israel to his home,
And he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan;
His soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none;
And the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found;
For I will pardon those whom I preserve.

21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, against it,
And against the inhabitants of Pekod.
[g]Waste and utterly destroy them,” says the Lord,
“And do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 A sound of battle is in the land,
And of great destruction.
23 How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken!
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare for you;
You have indeed been trapped, O Babylon,
And you were not aware;
You have been found and also caught,
Because you have contended against the Lord.
25 The Lord has opened His armory,
And has brought out the weapons of His indignation;
For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Come against her from the farthest border;
Open her storehouses;
Cast her up as heaps of ruins,
And destroy her utterly;
Let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bulls,
Let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them!
For their day has come, the time of their punishment.
28 The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon
Declares in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
The vengeance of His temple.

29 “Call together the archers against Babylon.
All you who bend the bow, encamp against it all around;
Let none of them [h]escape.
Repay her according to her work;
According to all she has done, do to her;
For she has been proud against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore her young men shall fall in the streets,
And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord.
31 “Behold, I am against you,
O most haughty one!” says the Lord God of hosts;
“For your day has come,
[i]The time that I will punish you.
32 The most proud shall stumble and fall,
And no one will raise him up;
I will kindle a fire in his cities,
And it will devour all around him.”

33 Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“The children of Israel were oppressed,
Along with the children of Judah;
All who took them captive have held them fast;
They have refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong;
The Lord of hosts is His name.
He will thoroughly plead their case,
That He may give rest to the land,
And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

35 “A sword is against the Chaldeans,” says the Lord,
“Against the inhabitants of Babylon,
And against her princes and her wise men.
36 A sword is against the soothsayers, and they will be fools.
A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
37 A sword is against their horses,
Against their chariots,
And against all the mixed peoples who are in her midst;
And they will become like women.
A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed.
38 A [j]drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.
For it is the land of carved images,
And they are insane with their idols.

39 “Therefore the wild desert beasts shall dwell there with the jackals,
And the ostriches shall dwell in it.
It shall be inhabited no more forever,
Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“So no one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.

41 “Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in childbirth.

44 “Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the [k]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will make them suddenly run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

45 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Babylon,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the land of the Chaldeans:
Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out;
Surely He will make their dwelling place desolate with them.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon
The earth trembles,
And the cry is heard among the nations.

Revelation 8 NKJV​

​

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets​

8 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.


6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck​

7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the [a]earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck​

8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck​

10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck​

12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day [b]did not shine, and likewise the night.


13 And I looked, and I heard an [c]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Eltitoguay-- Did you say you were near 40 N. I am just south of 40 N, and that looks very tropical there. Thats interesting if so, such a different climate at the same latitude!

Lots of milky trichomes, great looking work guys!

Thank God, winds kicked up today, the relative humidity dropped to 35% and temperature went up to 72 F, so drying is underway! Its been humid recently, but I think they will be ready to jar tomorrow. Having a final picnic at Pipeline Gardens.

Drying and curing some flower the proper way at my house, so will have an ounce to compare with the outdoor cured. Cant wait to see what i find out there, should be perfect moisture!

 

[pipeline]

Humidity came in last night as temps were dropping and had to quit jarring. The flower was getting too spongey. Humidity went from 40% in the afternoon to 90-95% a couple hours after dark. Flower was all dry though and ready to jar, just had remoistened. There were a couple flowers on long branches that need an extra day.

Almost done, humidity will be stable this evening with temperatures on the rise today and tomorrow. Smokes really good with the extra moisture though. More potent than last year which was dried out too much.

Saw a deer carcus that was cleaned by coyotes. I had to move so I could drive the truck around the field. It had been cleaned down to the bone and was strung out from being pulled on. Fur pelt was still good. Its amazing to think about how the wildlife survives, a lot goes on out here. Its wild and wonderful.

.ps
I once caught two 5 lb+ largemouth bass under a floating dead deer carcass

its not a viable pattern but give it a try

 

[pipeline]

I checked inside the deer carcus looking for honey, and I found none. Will try the fishing trick if I get the chance. Thanks for the advice.

Pride comes before the fall, the meek will inherit the earth.

This flower that was cured outdoors is so amazing, nearly 100% terpenes preserved it seems like! Very flavorful and smells strong with a potent kick after 1 toke. Need to get out there and jar today. Will be good conditions.

What is the target moisture content in finished flower? They said to dry at about 45-55 % relative humidity, and thats right where it will be all day and into the evening today! Thank you God!

 

[pipeline]

Everything is now in jars. Moisture content was a little high but was still good in the first round of jarring this week. That's when I was jarring in the evening and at night with a frost on the way and increasing humidity to near 90%. Yesterday it was just right. The jars can be aired out a little longer on a couple dry days an it will end up about right.

The moisture and proper cure has really done something special for the flower. Its much more complete cannabinoid and terpene profile and stronger. The effect is more comforting and refreshing with less anxiety racy effect. Have cut them up a lot, and it risks a little mold, but the outdoor cure for 2 weeks, they are nearly done curing because of the dry/ humid cycles! It said in that article it only takes a couple weeks to complete a cure.

Stay tuned for some smoke tests in the next few weeks. Time to rest, I am so glad! The hard work has paid off!

Dolly Parton harmonizes like few others, and this ageless woman can still belt out a country tune with the best of Nashville's young rising stars.

Between 58-62% seems to be the sweet spot many people say. Probably depends a little on the bud density and your personal taste I guess. I usually jar the buds, then "burp" them daily for about 2 weeks, and when I'm ready to leave them closed for curing, then I'll throw a boveda/integra pack inside the jar. These are little gel packs usually sold for cigars, to make sure the humidity stays constant. They sell both 58% and 62% ones. Quite useful if you live in a very dry or very humid place.

I can always tell when its Dolly Parton singing melody, very gifted. You know, she grew up in the foot hills of the Smokey Mountain National Park in Tennessee. Roots like that run deep. She adds a lot of Spirit to the music.

Thanks for the tips Revegetta! I figured it was somewhere near 50%. I remember you an get Bovida brand humidity packs that control it to 60% now for cannabis storage.

I better get out there and burp them soon. I have done it like this withe moisture before, but its always difficult to burp every day. Once a week seems to be adequate, but more frequent is better especially with high moisture content. I may consider getting some Bovida. These terps and the potency is through the roof right now. I am astounded because I have screwed up so many harvests in a row.

Haven't had cannabis flower this good before. Sticky-icky style. I kept them watered, fertilized correctly and healthy, and now with the good cure, its a champion winner! Yay, I can sort out the phenos!

How did you screw up the previous ones? Burping once a week seems not very often. As long as you open the jars and they smell nice, you should be good, but I never waited so long.
