What's up guys, this is my first post on here. ALL feedback is appreciated greatly.
So I'm doing my first ever grow in a wilderness area near where I live normally. It would be classified as an "outdoor guerrilla grow". But now I am in college, 2 hours away and I have a pal who is tending to its needs while I'm away. So it's nearing harvest time and the buds are looking fatter than I ever imagined they would look for my first ever grow.
I dug a 3x3 foot hole and filled it with dank ass nutrient rich soil, then transplanted my girl into her new home, she now stands around 7'6"-8' tall. The main cola is freakin me out its so big.
So now comes my questions to you guerrilla growers:
What type of container should I use for the transport? (do not say a zip lock bag bc it's a 2 hour drive and that's not going to work with wet buds.)
I'm pretty sure I want to trim the buds on site outdoors, before I put them into the container. Does anyone else do this??
Right now I have a very large plastic black box, I plan to install 3 layers of mesh into the box (using duct tape) and place the freshly trimmed buds onto the make-shift mesh shelves.
I also have been thinking of putting silicon gel packs (yes like in beef jerky and new shoes) into the bottom of my mesh shelf container so that excess moisture in the container will not build up during the 2 hour trip home. I have also considered putting torn up brown grocery bags in the bottom to absorb moisture.
After I get home with the fresh buds in my car, I will already have the drying closet set up and ready to hang buds.
I have a very small dehumidifier that I got for around 45 bucks on amazon that will be inside the dark closet during the drying process. I know that drying too fast is a bad thing, but mold is worse, and I think the dehumidifier will help my buds dry at a good pace. I also have a humidity and temp reader in the dry room to make sure it's around 65 degrees and not too humid/dry.
Then comes curing with mason jars...
Please critique my technique to improve my first harvesting experience.
Any tips?? I have pictures also
