Does weed continue to age or mature in storage ??
Bugus Monkey's new and improved puzzle basement and various ramblings
- Thread starter Bugus_Monkey
- Start date
So disappointed and pissed at myself. There is new growth starting above where I made my mistake on 2 of them. The big one in the middle with the giant root ball must have sucked most of it up for itself. Part of me just wants to cut everything down and start over. Plan A is to see it to the end. There are lower side branches where there was/is no damage. Everything close to the lights took a hard beating. Plan B - Order the Mars Hydro I want, cut everything down, wipe everything out really good and restart from scratch. Everyone's thoughts and comments welcome. I have one more job before the end of the year and will be away for about 3 days. I plan on making my decision after that. Maybe I could put it to a vote here.

Make some edies
Probably will. I hate the system Illinois has set up with their dispensaries. The Illinois joke was... What do you do when your going broke? The state of Illinois starts selling weed. The farms and dispensaries have Illinois politicians hands all over them and they exempted themselves from freedom of information act stuff when the passed the law so that a person in general cannot find out who they are actually supporting. I still got plenty of stash. I posted in this thread a couple above, I opened some I had in storage and to me it looks like it matured more in the jars based on Trichome color. Picts way above. ?????

Yes weed can and does age , I have seen thrics go from milky cloudy to golden brown due to age and heat , need to be stored in cool temps.
Weed will continue to Cure as it is stored... Take a strain you just cut and dried... jar it up for 6mos, burping it a few times in the beginning and compare the smoke from it to same strain.. cut, dried, smoked.. the cured bud will have more flavor, smoother smoke as the curing process rids the buds of chlorophyl.. what causes the coughing if not related to expansion..
More bud porn... The sativa pheno will probably be used for edibles if I keep it at all. I have 1 survivor.. More if an indica build to it. Frustrating. I'll see it to the end. I know the whole trichome color thing, and I will scope and get picts up in a day or 2. What about sacks swelling? I know it all sort of plays in together. Part of me just wants to chop and start from scratch. Asking Santa for a mars hydro. Been a pretty good monkey this year. Because of the size and shape of my room I am thinking about the SP 6500 or FC 8000. ??? Which one should I pick?

I like the FC8000 myself almost pulled the trigger on one
But I built a Quantum light myself so I want to get my moneys worth out of it 1st.
The Buds look better and when finished and trimmed you will see that they will work fine when you smoke them. Finish the grow is what I recommend ...... I bet you get some decent smoke , just act like that incident with the Hydro/perox never happened and watch the thrics then chop chop. Best of Luck Mate

Go by Trichome color only. Matters not if calyxes are swollen?

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. -- (Rosterman) --
That for me is the scariest thing I ever heard of... - Just me personally..

I ain't gonna die. My energy will just move on and take another shape.
Besides if I die in my sleep I won't have a clue.

Mine wife's side will be here soon
Later man
I stole this !!
You know how some plants really have a high calyx to leaf ratio and as they mature they swell up. He thought it
turned hermie and was clustering up.. afraid it was going to drop pollen all over his many plants, he cut it down
and ruined it. I was like, why didn't you call me bro.... too funny..
Things are looking good brother...
Listen to this man.. and it truly depends on how potent your plant is on when you may want to harvest.. some even
do a multi harvest on one plant to get a variation of highs.. chop some at 100% milky and just seeing a few amber.
week or so later, take the plant when it's 50% amber heads or better..
What kind of high do you want? remember, when you go 50% amber the high can be very lethargic if it's
Indica dominant.
enjoy your up and coming harvest buddy
10 days later... Just itching for a good excuse to start over after my screw up.. Latest Trichomes - 2 to 3 more weeks.
