All plant update!
I got a hygrometer, super grateful for that. Thanks fam.

Presidential OG #1:
Reading was at 67% and trending up, so almost there! I am going to paper bag that in a few and let it sit out overnight. Then do another reading tomorrow and see if we can get between 62% and 55%.
Note: finished my first joint with this last night, and it’s an absolute treat! Hit the body and head almost instantly and gradually the head high fades until it’s exclusively a body high. Big fan! I’d like to see how it mellows out. Cutting the head high down a little would be good, but no need for perfection.
Spicy/earthy smell profile with a little bit of a harsh smoke. Seeing that it’s not dried out all the way, that makes sense to me. I screwed up on the drying process for this one, so it may just be a little harsh on the first drag each smoking session, which I’m cool with.

Skunk:
Reading at 68% and trending up, so I’ll give it the same treatment as the first Presidential OG.
Haven’t sampled yet, but after I work through some edibles I’ll take it for a spin!
Sweet and citrus smells coming off of it. Very excited to taste it!

Afghan:
Day 5 into drying and smelling great! I’m really excited for this one since the amber was very present in the trichomes and the buds were SUPER frosty. I hope to be in trim jail early next Friday and then I’m hoping to dry this stud out correctly before it hits the grove bags.

Presidential OG #2:
Trichomes attached! Looks great, but I am a little bummed at how there doesn’t seem to be any ambering. That said, I don’t think it’d be prudent to run the clock out on it. It’s approaching 12 weeks, and we’re at the point in the summer when rot becomes a real threat. She’ll be getting the chop tomorrow as we’re in some pretty spooky humidity.
I think I defoliated a little too early on this plant which seems to have stunted the final product, but alas. I can’t say I’d have done it differently given that the skunk had a real problem with PWM and measures needed to be taken.
There’s a little more sweetness to the smell of this plant. Interested to see how it smells after the chop!

Man, this grow has been awesome. Four mostly healthy plants with no hermie bits and only a mild and treatable case of PWM. I felt very confident in this grow, and while my harvest certainly won’t be anywhere near what a lot of y’all have done, I’m not hanging my head since I’m still a noob and growing weed that I have had only one complaint about yet (the only complaint is that one friend wanted middies, and he’s a dipsh!t sometimes).
I’m not done yet! But thanks to the folks who have been following closely and really helping a noob out! Shout out to
