How can I dry 6 different strains? A conundrum..!

[superminibong]

Hi all!

 

My first post here, hi all!!

 

I'm growing 6 different strains in my growbox, and one of them is nearly ready for harvesting, but one other one still only has white hairs, no amber, so still has a few weeks to go. The others are all inbetween, some a few days away, others a week or two.

 

How would I harvest and dry them the best way? I can't dry them outside the box because of the smell, which the carbon filter takes care of for me inside the box. And I have read they should be dried in a dark place, so inside the box while the other plants are still growing seems to be a no-go as well.

 

So Im sorta stuck and dont know what to do. Can I keep growing the already finished strain? And keep doing so for another 2 weeks or so until all the plants are done? Or will growing them past maturity affect them negatively? Or should I harvest the others a bit early?

 

Its my first grow so I want it to go well, I took a few samples and didnt dry them properly and they taste and smell like hay, I dont want the end product to end up like that!!

 

Any tips or ideas much appreciated!

 

cheers,

smb

ahhhhhhhh..one at a time..duh!!!

proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance !!

i.e...six diff strains with different flowering times ?????

err , the plants ready for harvest first are on the straight water or "flushing solution" first ..... dried first .... when stem *snaps*.... and i mean *snappppp* its ready for jaring ... you'll need to jar em at diff times, dry em at diff times and have each strain using up the remains of its nute reserves in its leaves at alternate times (according to the expected flowering time of each strain).... Hope that helps, i'm on some veryyyyyy spacy tinctures .... not the cannabinoid kind .... but still ... absolute bliss .... I hope ya get the drift of this comment.

 

Take it easyyyyy mannnnn .... butttt ... still take itttt !!!!%$&U!&%%!$

 

 

 

 

Nothing better than variety

 

- you dont have to use the growbox to dry it out in ? ...

Thanks guys.. I know one at a time is the best way to do it, but I cant do it inside the box coz the lights are on, cant do it outside the box coz of the smell.. so yeah.. bad planning but here I am not knowing how to best deal with the situation.

I'll bite. Use a hair drier about 30cm away. Get an extension cord and dry them from your window. You will never get through boot camp, if you don't start to think for yourself.

Get a cardboard box. You can figure the rest out.

, get some, use it while ya dry and you should be fine, can use another room or something then to dry, just buy the lil bottle , leave the lid off in the dryin room and you should be fine. Peace. Gh72

Look mate, you will have many of the oldies telling you to just grow a few oldschool skunk varieties or similiar at once ... but lets face it .... you can grow 10 strains in a small closet no worries (i've done it.) ..... try some of the new killer varieties theyre all piss easy to grow ... potent and taste good ..... and lets face it ... variety is fucking great, smoke a bowl of one strain .. and then smoke a bowl with a half dozen strains ..... cannabinoid diversity is much greater and the high is heavenly..... jah rastafari.....

 

peace n pot,
