Grump's Indigo Sapphire Grow 🌱

"Dry lumber" reads between 6-14%, with 6-8% being for interior wood work just for reference.

And from what I gather.. 10-12% is around ideal for nugs

I haven't played with mine yet on this harvest. Last one seemed to be about right when I threw it in the grove bags at 12%. They were funky nugs and it was hard to get a good reading though.

I'm also looking forward to storing in the trol. Grove bags in a dry basement won't keep the byds fresh. They dry out in a couple weeks. I suppose I should get me some bovedas.

I bought a couple wood moisture meters for testing my grows.

Used it once or twice on weed, but have tested every wall and piece of floor molding in the entire house

Found mold...

That means the whole load is trashed, eh?

13.5 ounces off of the two plants. Damn shame.

Mold on a couple buds or most all?
What were the last readings from the cannatroller?

Obvious mold on a couple buds but I didn’t inspect them all. Third tray down before I noticed and then I found anouther on the bottom tray. It's all stuffed in Grove bags for now.

I did factory settings and kept it on the dry cycle for 2 extra days. It never saw below 70%. Then I ran the cure cycle a day long. It finally got below 65% in the last 2 days and was sitting around 62% when I pulled everything.

I wafted the door a couple time a day and even pulled the trays all the way out when I went into cure.

Does bleach take out mold? I emptied the thing so I could chop my remaining plants. Looks like I'll be hand drying one so I don't stuff the thing too full this time.

did they feel "crunchy" when you put them in the bags?

you didn't harvest it all yet?? if not do a peroxide wash on them, that is now and will forever be in my routine of harvest. and twice on anything outdoor!

 

[OLDCRO]

Could those buds already have mold on them before going in to the cannatrol. Just a question

 

[steamroller]

Really sounds like something wasn't working right.
5 days should have had you at 62% before cure.
Not sure if new model runs the same as old.

Nah not crunchy. 10 days in the Cannatrol and then into the bags for storage while I chopped the other plants.

They feel done and smoke great. Wife just said "well should we roll a moldy"

Been smoking samples for a couple days now. No mold on anything we've pulled out yet. Just when I emptied the whole thing.

There's a possibility. I didn't see any signs beforehand, though. I usually have a pretty good eye and mold wigs me out so it has me extra paranoid with the fattest nugs.

I'll look real close when I chop the next two plants tomorrow. I'll probably only put one in the trol this time.

Man it was stuffed to the max. Like puzzle-pieced in there. I don't know what 13.5 dry equates to wet, but I know it's WAY ovwr their 2.2 pound recommendation.

Yea roughly you may have been 1 lb over the limit.

Be real careful smoking it.
You got enough to chuck whatever is questionable.

ozone or UV it?

I thought I had heard of extracting with alcohol being the only safe recourse, but upon search I found nothing.
Maybe I didn't look properly.

 

[Stoneyluv]

personally i'd just ditch it.. but not everybody has a giant cooler full of weed.

Yeah. It's all in 4 bags. I'll keep watch and will likely chuck it unfortunately.

Yeah for sure. Hate to get sick being stingy
