LUI Day 70

LUI Day 70

Legend’s Ultimate Indica on day 70 continued to thrive . . . and we poured on the nutrients to continue to encourage them to bloom big . . . each LUI got 1/2 gallon of a nute mix that measured out at 1 1/2 TBSP of Earth Juice Bloom and 1 tsp of Earth Juice Catalyst . . . Day 31 of Bloom . . . we had to check the calendar just to make sure . . . day 70 from germination figures to be day 31 of 12/12 . . .

. . . of course we’re going to cure our LUI . . . just drying da herb isn’t going to produce the top quality smoke we desire . . . how we dry and cure our herb depends on our plan for eventual use . . . the cure isn’t as critical for cooking

or hashmaking . . . but for buds that are going to be smoked it does make quite a difference in final quality . . . usually we trim large fan leaves upon harvest . . . we’ll trim down the smaller leaf at this time as well . . . then we hang our herb from a clothesline by their stems (indoors - we’re not hanging out our herb like our laundry) . . . it’s best to keep the plants in the dark as much as possible for the dry and cure to help eliminate some of the “green” chlorophyll taste . . . how long the herb hangs depends on relative humidity . . . usually it’s between 5 days and 2 weeks . . . they hang until the outside of buds feel dry to the touch . . . they certainly aren’t fully dried at this point . . . but this is where we’d normally finish our trim . . . the buds are trimmed from the stem at this point . . . then the actual cure begins . . . mason jars are a classic for curing herb . . . though when dealing with a “bumper crop” they can be somewhat inconvenient . . . if several plants mature at the same time we are often forced to use larger plastic containers . . . the secret is a long slow cure which breaks down sugars . . . improves flavor . . . and mellows the smoke . . .
