I just checked trichomes on the remaining part of the natural plant. I'm seeing about 10%, most rusty are on the bottom of the leaf too.

As for fast drying, I dried them in half my flower room. I kept the room at an average humidity of 48%. It hit 55% a couple times as well as dropped to around 42% a few times. (inaccurate humidifier)

As my first crop, I'm doing all I remember reading, as close to "by the book" as I can. When it comes to drying and curing. Slow dry (as slow as I could, but still only took 4-5 days). Once stems would snap I jarred it up. I've watched for ANY condensation, however have seen none. The buds felt a little to dry(I thought) when jarred. Now IF I open a jar it's all slightly pliable again. The smell is also changing slightly each day.

I DID try the freezing last night. I put one single 1/4g bud in for around three hours. It seamed a bit harder when first removed, but came back the same after thawing. Flavor MAY have improved mildly.

ALSO,... I DO have a couple of nanners on the remaining plant half. I actually found a couple before I cut any the first time. However this has been a VERY unstable strain the entire grow. The LST was putting out nanners the entire last four weeks! I must have been picking 30-50 of them a day! I also had a few seeds where I broke a nanner and pollinated the flower, or flowers around the nanner.

The nanners alone added a good 5 hours to jarring as well. We tried to pick them all out, but I can still see a few in the jars.

If anything I can say I got a LOT of experience out of this first grow.
Vancefish Reviewed by Vancefish on . "Kinda wild" Trial grow Hello all, I decided to pop a few seeds a friend grew in the yard. The original seeds were "high end" however with no males around I have no clue what fertilized the female. Thus I'm calling it "kinda wild". There are a lot of legal grows about 10-15 miles up wind from my friends yard. So it may have been something decent. But who knows? I have just become a legal user and thus have been reading all I can about growing. However having never actually grown a full plant. I figured I'll Rating: 5
