Hey buddy, missed youre tag on the dry/cure. 7-10 days drying is prefered. Faster can be moist still and lead to mould and have hay smell as well. 70° and 55/60% humidity is about what you want for 7-10 days.

Day 4 drying (96 hours)
RH this morning was 63-64-71. I didn't want to leave them all day, so I cracked the lids open. When I got home, my RH is at 50-59-63. I combined the main cola into a jar some nugs. So I have 2 jars now.

They are a week old. They aren't as far along as my first auto at 7 days. But they were a little stubborn shedding their shell.

I just wasn't able to maintain good enough #'s. My temps were averaging 74-77 and my RH was anywhere from 40-55%. Problem was, i'd say my true average was 76 F and 40% humidity. Both contributed to a fast dry.
The smell is amazing on the GSC. I was lucky that I kept the smell with the faster drying time.

At the end of the brief guide there is a blue link that says FULL dry/curing process. Give it a read. Bookmark this site and read when bored. Its SUPER new/experienced and anywhere inbetween friendly.

Day 5 drying
Jars were left closed for 24 hours. RH was 68-65%. Left them open for an hour, closed them back up. Will just open once a day. Smell was nice and skunky!

2nd run (Day 9)
I was going to bottom feed again today, but these girls just aren't taking off like they should. I'm going to water today around the outside of the pot from the top. They still only have 1 set of true leaves. The second set is small and just starting to form. They both are the same so it's not like i'm dealing with a bad seed. My humidity is sitting around 38-40%. Maybe that's part of it.

Day 10 (x1 Girl Scout Cookie, x1 Blue Dream)
It's been almost 72 hours since watering. The weight test of the pot tells me they don't need water. I'm going to let them dry out for another day at least. Let me snap a couple pics. I'm just not very happy with where they are at for 10 days.

Jar Cure (Day 2)
RH sitting at 63% and 67%. Smell is very strong and punches you in the face when you open the jar. I like the RH numbers, that's without a boveda pack. I'll be able to properly cure this batch of GSC. Anxious to see where it's at in 30 days.
I took all the buds out today and weighed. 26 grams. I've smoked 2 grams so this little GSC auto on 12/12 from seed gave me an OZ! Nice! I mixed them up and put them back in the jars.

Was it a top notch smoke, cause GSC usually does yeild lower but killer reward in the quality.

Day 11 (x1 Girl Scout Cookie, x1 Blue Dream)
Gave a light watering yesterday, it had been 4 days since I bottom watered. The pot was still a bit moist at the very bottom but the first few inches of soil on top were bone dry. I watered around the outside of the pot and then lightly misted the entire top of soil

Jar Cure (Day 3)
RH this morning on the 2 jars is 65 and 63. Perfect cure range, just burp once a day.
I used my new kitchen scale yesterday to get a final dry weight. 32 grams.

A bit hard to tell from pics, but is the color perhaps similar to this? I had a seedling like this, which was sun grown but came indoors at night. Not sure if low nighttime temps caused it, or genetics, but it never seemed to be a problem for the plant. I asked a couple growers about it, and neither seemed concerned. After some more growing, the color disappeared.
Not sure it’s the same, but looked kinda similar to me from the pics...

Black/brown spots are starting to go away. Noticed some good growth today. I will probably start trying to do some LST in another few days. I'm still watering very lightly compared to my last grow.
