Awsome Bunny keep representing! I have soms serious catching up to do, I haven't even got to kindergarten yet.
Bunny, while you are here, may I pick your brains please? I've been having a really peculiar experience with early sampling of my different strains this year. We had some inevitable bud rot to stamp out last week after the rainy weekend, nothing major just where they were so incredibly dense and thick at the tops and in places and there is no air flow getting in between so you just have to open it up and remove the dying bits you know the deal....
So I have been sampling bits and pieces which we rescued last Wednesday. Broken down very small, and in that heat after 5 days in the past I have vaped fresh but without much problem.
I do have serious allergies and have to make my own meds due to fert sensitivity. In he past ae have produced our crop with various organic fertilizers which I have been allergic to and unable to use any of it. Several times this happened you can't imagine the heartbreak so have nothing for the foreseeable future at least 12 months or suffer unimaginably.
But we have a woking formula now. Im still allergic to the flower and maybe more, but not the soil medium we use. Anyway, I tried the Auto Brooklyn Sunrise and Night Queen several times since.
It did taste VERY terpy. This is all the best bud we ever made no question. I have experienced getting a bad chest, worse allergy symptoms before from fresh weed, like 4 day dry for example.
And also vaped bud a day later without issue. But I seem to react to this as if its a fert allergy. My symptoms much worse and more allergy pain. Just like if I used bought weed, it is just too unbearable the allergy.
This really puzzled me because Im sure I havent had SUCH a big reaction (or maybe just-irritation) to fresh weed before. Small bits,,5 days plus in heat. But it does seem pretty unpalatable, so Im trying to be rational- logically, thiese top buds we saved from dying, hacked up, not pre-cured....AND far higher in terps and actives than ever before...so it nakes sense tbis would make it aggravating and would actually NEED a cure, right?
That makes sense to me, but I also had to consider the possibility that there was some type of chemical contaminant presents in the natural compost or fertilizers or use which I know I can tolerate.
I can't tell you how much it would break my heart to have such an amazing pot of gold at long last to serve only as a cruel tease. Halfway through triimming the Durban earlier I took some of the calyxes on the main stalks which I kept aside and vaped them has a very interesting experiment to see how I would react. There was no reaction beyond what I expect which instantly put my mind at rest and confirmed that it is not a fertiliser reaction.
This Durban however hung whole to dry for 7 days and I understand how this is already beginning the cure. I tested a little bud of the Durban as well feeling brave and all was good it's incredibly smooth. Before I Began this post I sampled the Sunrise in the Elev8r vaporizer for the first time, and it was definitely bothering me a lot more.
I'm telling myself it must be a high concentration of particular terpenes which have not transformed enough and this is just causing unexpected irritation.
So, I just wondered if anybody else has had similar experiences with particular strains or maybe the way certain buds were harvested prematurely and not cured so well, needing a cure period to be a comfortable vape/smoke? The differencd to the Durban is substantial.
@invertedisdead I bet you have had some experinces with this? Just brainstorming really. I should just wait and try the whole one haniging next, seeking peace of mind in meantime.
Yep, I can def feel that irritation. Its like from moist weed, but those tiny buds should be dry after 7 days in this heat??
What cultivar was that, and how much of a cure on that nugget?
Hazeman Seeds Triple XXX. It's a cross between The White x The White x Aloha White. I just harvested it about 9 days ago. So,it was a week in my drying tent and a couple days in jars. Hygrometers say about 65% RH.
I will be playing with some white widow, orange hill special, strawnana magic, pennywise, and swiss cheese later. Right now I have some autoxtreme, autoblackberry kush, and autoultimate. None are exceptional yielders but I haven't pressed any of the tops yet so hoping to get some 20% runs at some point! A dear friend in my area has some mob boss I am excited to try, just waiting to hear when its ready
