LoL, probably the hardest part of growing no doubt! I struggled with this for my first several grows, of course genetics is the main ingredient but the dry and cure is crucial to the overal smoke!
Totally agree dude, this is how I do it aside from the brown paper bag bit after my initial hang dry. Also leave the sugar leaves, lots easier to handle and it protects the buds until the final trim before jarring to cure. Lots of people say to keep the stem bendy but at the same point if it gets too dry you can fix it by throwing a fan leaf or two in. If it gets too wet however.... can't usually fix it as easily I suppose. Buds are kind of like sponges imho.I hear you about uder drying vs. over but honestly try next time to let the buds get nice and crispy to where the stem would snap if you let it go another day. If it snaps don't sweat it. Then seal everything up and let it soak over night and check it the next day, should be quite a bit of moisture in the bud already. Burp them for the first couple days maybe 2 times a day, for the next 5 or so days burp it once a day and then the second week it should be able to just marinate in the turpins at this point. Use your judgement though this is just how i do it.. Oh and thanks
hell yeah, killer lookin buds right there!! great bro!!Its not just the burn if its like my pheno's! I ran party cups too and everything I ran burnt right along side others that where perfectly healthy. I'm sure there's some dank vanilla phenos out there but barneys farms just lost my respect. I do however have an lsd that is extremely stretchy but smells like lemons, so I haven't lost all hope for BF seeds but I'm not dieing to try more either...
As promised some bud shots. This is the Blackberry 1 and 2 phenos, the number 1 is more purplish grey and the 2 is lighter green. 1 is very berry and 2 is berry with a hint of funk.

Yeah I kinda feel the same way about barneys. It's like B rate, or atleast not as reliable as other breeders. I'm trying a bunch of tga in quest of the dank lol... Agent orange, Time Wreck, Cheese Quake, and Ace of Spades. I'm gonna give emerald triangle a try too, got a few of their freebies for the feb promo. Heard good things and the emerald jack looks dank. What are your most reliable breeders? I'd have to say for me, G13 Labs, Reserva Privada/DNA (same ppl), and World of Seeds.
Everyone you listed has been good to me too, also nirvana, I've read bad things about greenhouse but so far so good with the SLH! I dont blame you on getting TGA, I hope to be trying some soon. I'm running reserva privada, greenhouse and a few others this round. I've got my new screens up, I used that mason string this round and it worked great! Come on by my other thread, Smellyvision
Always good to hear from a fellow grower what the end results are and your preference of strains. Like you guys were talking earlier about breaders and I agree with you 100%. The SLH from greenhouse is amazing, and so are a few of their other strains, Love world of seeds right now, and have heard nothing but good things of reserva. I'm running some Sagarmatha seeds next run and I hope they are as dank as some of the other breaders I've used. I heard good things and I like that their name is the name local nepal people call Mt everest.Here's a quick rundown of the strains from this thread.
The auto's all turned out better than the VanillaKush, I'm sure theres a few VK Gems out there but If I where you I would stay away!
My favorite auto by far was white Dwarf from Buddha seeds. The other 4 strains,
Quzar, Vanilla Kush, Blackberry
VK, lost in all catagories besides yield lol. Caught a little mold too but I was able to salvage most the bud after it fully dried out.
Quzar yielded the most but was in the biggest container 5 gal. Definitely the dankest high yielding strain for this round.
Blackberry won in, smell, looks, taste and potency in this grow! Overall she is just a wonderful plant to deal with. Quzar is very close in some catagories she's just not as exotic as the BB
Anyway come check out my new thread above is the link, will be doing a bunch of new strains over the next couple grows in there so grab a seat! Peace and thanks to everyone who followed along with me!
