Ok, so i guess you can say im a beginner, but i managed to grow some nice pot in 4 months (from no exp at all) but i ran into several problems that ive troubleshooted myself. The strain is Cheese, feminized.
First, my plants suffered from nutrient burn, i was overfeeding them almost everytime; big newbie mistake, What a waste of nutrients.
But then i flushed them all out and only 2 plants survived.
With that bieng said, since my plants were stressed, half of the 2 plants became hermes, pollinated themselves
other than a few seeds,The bud looked great, and on the 9th week i harvested.
It was looking light green, very nice crystalized, then comes the curing; which I did completely wrong
I hung them up for about half a day, then put into jars.
The bud now started to turn darker, much darker, and lost its mass n weight by 50 percent!
I would open the jars for 6 hours n close again. Did that for a week.
After the week, i layed the buds out so they can dry. n now im about a week and a half in drying n curing and im wondering what i did wrong?
Is it lack of patience? did i leave em to dry for too little? where is the smell that it had when it was growing, its practically gone.
I seemed to have followed the guidelines for curing but im confused....
how can i keep the color? how can my buds smell like they did while they were on the tree?
any other tips would be greatly appretiated, here are my beauties now. I will post pic of my new cheesers.
not over fed, almost perfect. Sorry about the lighting, but its hard tot ake pix under 400w hps lights.
Please, no negative remarks on how new i am, i just want some feedback to get better and to grow the best quality cheese i can. everyone was a newbie at one point, so please help. Thanks!
