    extremely grateful for the insights unlike some of the know-it-all commenters here. particularly that drying time can be kind of modelled by VPD is awesome, i used it on my first grow (just legalized in germany) and it worked perfectly. did not use the stem snapping method at all, just calculated drying time, then checked equilibrium RH in a jar and everything went smoothly.
    also, i'm sure there's a lot to still discover and improve, hopefully also for homegrowers, freeze-drying will probably never be an option here but maybe some middle ground can be found.

    I’ve been growing in Humboldt County most my life. I’ve also been learning a lot about the science behind these processes which we have been participating in. Dr. Justice is one I’ve been following since legalization, and she does not disappoint. Folks like me really appreciate this science that’s being done, it’s helping me understand my own craft so much more. Thank you!

    Optimal curing time depends a lot on the strain and terpenes profile, as shown here all terps do not react the same to drying, it is the same for curing, some fruity terps fade in a month, some other need a month to reveal. Terps volatility might be linked to chemistry. thanks for the video !

    • @MarvMetal
      @MarvMetal Před rokem +6

      Its very much chemistry. I would generalize it to be two factors:
      first how volatile is the molecule at baseline (factoring in that over time it has a chance to react and change into another terpene/molecule, which in itself is another process that depends on environmental conditions as well as the specific reaction occuring)
      Second how the matrix in which the molecule is embedded is affecting and changing that volatility. I guess that the exposed trichomes will evaporate kinda quick compared to anything hidden deeper in the plant material behind a lot of cellwall structure and stuff
      What the 'bubble/head' of the trichome is made of and what factors/nutrients aid in reinforcing its structure should be investigated as well. Having the best possible 'container' for your thc or terpenes should be a priority for any grower.
      I thinkI remember Bruce Bugbee saying that trichomes were largely silicate structures and advised to supply bioavailable Si, but I did not look into the sources (if there were any)

      I'm not a scientist, all I can say is that after 25 years of smoking the best tasting flower I've smoked was an outdoor harvested in December after snowfall (49N latitude) with completely purple buds/leaves. Even the trim tasted great. Btw, that plant was fertilized with salt based nutrients, no "organics". On the other hand I've also smoked amazing strains with light green almost fresh looking buds so it's a mystery to me. I don't think chlorophyll has anything to do with it. Maybe it's about glucose or stored micro/macro nutrients.

    I am rookie, yet disagree with you on several examples you gave, specifically, the "snapping of the stem" to determine it's "dryness", where I feel that if you can snap the stem, you are too dry. Having even a small amount of moisture left in the stem, "snapping isn't as "easy", still some moisture inside", leaving the bud 2/3rd's dry, with 1/3 moisture, getting rid of that remaining moisture during the burping process, still allowing some moisture at the "core" of the bud. Ex. taking a bud for a sample and giving a gentle squeeze, having a dry squeeze almost all the way through, and then hitting a "soft" or moist area is perfect. Also you commented wanting you get the water out as quickly as possible. I must disagree with this as well, I feel that giving the cann plenty of space in a dark room, w/ proper temp and humidity, giving the grow a 6 to 8 day dry, giving popcorn buds about 3 -4 days before curing process, allows for all sugars to deposit further and deeper into the bud. I did not seem to lose too many Trichomes, as I inspected some of the buds, and they remain full of beautiful milky crystals. I know I lost a lot during my buds wash, and I may have been a little rough with maybe 3 or 4 of the branches during that process, I am rookie and this is my very first time growing. I just harvested yesterday, did an immediate bud wash, let them dry outside for a few hours under a shaded tent, then brought them inside to a temp control. dark room. I'm no scientist, just a rookie, but, still disagree with some of what you commented on.

      Yeah - but which stem????
      I cut the fan leaves off, but leave the stems
      Of course, the stems snap quicker, in time, at the top of the cola.
      What is I travel towards the base of the plant, some of the stems don't quite snap
      This is very, very, helpful for me to gauge when I want to stop drying the plant
      Usually, when the fan leave stems at the base of the plant ALMOST snap - I take them down and trim them and leave them on the stem and put them in jars and leave the jars open in paper bags.
      After a week I'll cut them off the stems.
      As a little more time passes, that's when I put in the Boveda packs.
      ps: it took me 14 days before the stems at the base of the plant we're almost ready to snap
      Nothing like a longer/ slower dry;
      even in Southern New Mexico (Las Cruces) 🎉
      --------------------
      EDIT: I don't even have to squeeze my buds or feel them - for me it's all about the fan leaves stems at the base of the plant and what they are telling me
      So cool how the leaves talk to you EVEN when they're Dead

    I’m a scientist in botany, I earned my prestigious degree in my basement over a 50 year period 😂😂so I’ve concluded , when you freeze dry flower it makes the buds very fragile because of the trichome detachment that occurs from the extreme cold, terpenes are affected by temperature in both directions but the cold really makes trichome detachment more unpredictable so I’ve always just been as careful as possible when using cool temps

    • @yeoldegunporn
      @yeoldegunporn Před 10 měsíci +2

      I think that depends. It’s gets a heavier feeling for sure, but not everyone likes that as optimal. The UN formula for the age of cannabis gives the figure THC content in cannabis would decrease at a rate of 3-5 percent per month when kept at room temperature. More recently, estimates have confirmed a 12 percent degradation in THC over the first 100 days of storage, equivalent to a rate of 3-4 percent each month. Decarboxylation will happen to all cannabis.

      When I see needed, I will add some Boveda packs to sustain humidity and store the jars in a cool place

    Ok so the “loss of terpenes” gets me thinking how are they measuring, is it a totaling or are they looking at individual terpenes, because some terpenes are changing composition throughout the drying/curing process into new molecules, or is it a total terpene accumulation. Also fails to recognize other molecules such as esters, thiols, flavonoids, organic alcohols etc

      Don't waste your money. They don't work. I've bought so many of those damn things. So many. All different percentages, different sizes. All waste of money. The only thing I know that actually works are cigar beads. I personally don't use anything. I dry until they're ready for curing. Then jar them up and refrigerate, burping as needed. I have cultivars from over a year ago and they still smell just as good. Some actually smelled better than the first few months.

    I hang mine in the grow space whole and leave the lights on 12/12.
    In the same way clones root better in the environment where the Mother lives, doing the above similarly keeps the plant processing the secondary metabolites. This maintains the same water activity, but reduces any chance of adding more from the roots.
    Im in living soil/water only situation, and my space at harvest is usually 75° to 78° and 65-70% RH. 3-5 days, under the light at 12/12 post-chop then moved out of direct light (they go in an open tent where the light hits them indirectly) til day 10-14.
    My crops hit 55% in jars by day 10 almost everytime. I have such a hard time trimming and jarring quick enough, but mine are finished “drying” and are ready for “curing” at day 10. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

    • @chris_schenkel
      @chris_schenkel Před 10 měsíci

      Once the plant is dead, VPD is irrelevant. It's dead ffs. 60% RH, 60 degrees F if you can. The RH is most important so maintain that over temp. Dry until larger branches snap instead of bend. Minimum 10 days. 2-3 weeks preferable. Anything less and you'll end up with harsh smoke that smells like straw. If your crop is drying in a few days, then you would be better off sticking with store bought pre-rolls.

    • @AnthonyBolognese710
      @AnthonyBolognese710 Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@chris_schenkel jfc you really don’t get it. Vpd has nothing to do with whether the plant is alive or not. VPD gives you an index for the rate at which water will transpire. You’re aware water transpires regardless of whether something is living or dead right? Tell me something genius - if you can’t get to 60F are you then screwed…or or…maybe you can alter your RH so you get the same vpd as you would with 60 and 60.
      I love how you say FFS when you can’t even understand how humidity works. It’s not just RH genius…temp is also involved. Vpd gives you the ability to use both temp and humidity to drive your decisions.
