Harvesting, Drying & Curing Plants To Maintain Quality! (Garden Talk

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks to Dr. Allison Justice for coming onto the podcast today! Dr. Allison Justice’s Instagram- instagram.com/dr.justice_grows/

[@joeymusacchio9816]

Nice.

[@Alwaysgrowing1234]

What is her fb?

[@Alwaysgrowing1234]

I mostly watch the videos on there it’s easyer for me to navigate

[@jefffolk4421]

This talk = 🔥

[@N0C0MPLY]

You'll correct me if I missed it but I didn't notice you discussing when you give the final watering before harvest, as in is it more beneficial to water right up to harvest or let them dry up somewhat before the chop?! Excellent discussion by the way. Thanks for this.

[@MouldySponge]

Allison's intellectual honesty is so refreshing. Some people might confuse it for insecurity or under-confidence in their own knowledge or ability, but i believe being honest about what you do and do not know is the hallmark of someone who approaches learning in a way that allows them to learn the most. So many people in the industry are egotistical and defensive and very rigid in their beliefs, and it's so nice to get a break from that!

[@speedbag67]

ABSOLUTELY!!! It takes a VERY confident and secure researcher to flat out say 'We just don't know yet.... We are working on it... We'll get back to you when we have FACTS for you..." I SO much prefer that rather than half-assed bro-science that no one can prove....

[@chrisnewhart673]

You hit the nail on the head, I have always heard that intelligent people are the ones who will say I don’t know. It is always best to just be honest with yourself, you can’t grow if your not

[@Art-zs6sl]

@@MouldySponge good take

[@danlawson3782]

This episode was very intriguing and informative. I really appreciate when an expert is knowledgeable, humble and honest enough to admit when they have not yet reached all of the conclusions that they are striving to achieve. Dr Allison Justice demonstrates all of those qualities. Thank you Chris for another fantastic episode of Garden Talk!

[@b_lumenkraft]

These talks are unbelievable valuable and this one is no exception! Thanks Dr. Justice for your insights! :)

[@jefffolk4421]

Yeah I agree, one of the best informational podcasts on the tube….. always good stuff

[@HyperactiveHighs]

Enzymatic browning sounds so plausible honestly, it would make a lot of sense. It's so true though that this plant is not nearly as cut and dry as it's treated by many people. Loving this episode.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

I get the pun. Very clever 🤓

[@jacobdecker7994]

It's a real thing

[@Religous_1]

Eh if that's true then let's get sweeter buds

[@cvgodd1432]

So many different land races so they all have certain things they like or don’t like. Some strains can survive almost freezing temps, some can survive in 90 degree heat. All depends. I just think about the country it’s from and try to mimic their environment 😂. I put electric wires on my afghani strains. With all the IEDs they had, the plants got used to it. 🤧🤧

[@scottwilliams6257]

Idk if it's the same Allison I knew for a very brief period in first grade before she moved away but congratulations on your PhD. Thanks for sharing with us. I like your accent and is what brought back a 40 year or so memory.😊

[@dfurry100]

A super nice balanced discussion on the enigmatic topics of drying, curing and storing ... bravo!

[@atlashammercock9582]

This is such an amazing channel, I'm so glad we get discussions from people in the industry that are pushing research that is applicable to everyone

[@HiddenGarden420]

As always you have this great way to talk to people and get us to understand the content, Thank you for all you do !!!!

Mr Growit slowly morphing into Eminem 😂 Appreciate the video. Been following Dr Justice and her videos on KZbin. She's a wealth of knowledge and I've learned a lot. If the greenrush ever comes to the UK, I'll be ready.

[@dmo848]

I see the resemblance 😊

[@TCheidrich]

My new favorito episode!!!! Thank you both!!!!

[@speedbag67]

What a treat! As usual, Chris, you provide such AWESOME content! You teach us growers things that we didn't even know we needed to know... but now we know) Many channels have 15 minute videos that are just too long to watch... Yours can be an HOUR, and I'm disappointed when they end.,.. Thank you, Chris. And BIG thank you to Doctor Justice (sounds like a super-hero name) for sharing your immense knowledge with us... This was an hour well spent!!

[@Gilky781]

that was an amazing video!! Her answers were perfect. We really don't know the answers to far too many questions. She really seems to be pushing the science and I love it!!

[@Dirte_Woods]

Thanks for chatting with me! I'll look for you again for another livestream!

[@lucasnon1070]

Ty Dr Justice and Chris. Great conversation

[@naymyster_5707]

As far as what to do before harvest. I adopted the Dr Bugbee 24-48 hours of light before cut and have to say the first run came out super clean. And this next run i can tell it became frostier and looked more mature/finished after the 36hours of light. ❤ You should definitely give it a try on some clones and see if you can tell a difference!

[@COREEEE]

thanks to you and dr. justice! ✌

[@JoseMartinez-fr3zk]

Awesome 👏 podcast, goldmine of information; thank you 🙏

[@theinnerforest]

Great info Dr. Justice !! Keep up the research we appreciate you! You also Chris aka Mr Grow It!!

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

People just have to remember this is a plant that is consumed so taste and preference will always be a huge factor regardless of the science. I like to think of it like this: you can get into the science of caramelizing an onion and how long and what exact temps to do it at to get the max amount of sugars or whatever, but the science can't say, "therefore this is your favorite way to consume an onion".

[@MarkRoss-v4y]

Wow! Learned so much from this interview/guest. Superb.

[@ThomasHostvedt]

Coming up on this with my first grow, you all are amazing at what you do and love the show. Thank you Chris!

For what it's worth all these questions can and will be answered by you through practice growing this beautiful plant over and over and over. Find YOUR sweet spot. And when you get it right you'll know!! Love and respect fom NY

[@stanleyturrentine9673]

I totally agree with Allison with generalizing in regard to harvest and trichome color

[@jimmyanderson420]

Already know im gonna love this video...ALL Chris's videos are AWSOME!!! #letchristalk

[@trippy123]

great stuff, thing is size of the buds you're drying or drying the plant as a whole.The best smoke I had was from a whole plant that took around 3 - 4 weeks to fully dry. I've never dried under 2 weeks and no real problems.

[@kr38tve]

😎👊VERY GREAT PODCAST 👍 👌 AWESOME DRY/CURE INFORMATION

[@jackspurlock629]

AWESOME Show Chris........

[@dankdogma.]

The more my sister talks, the more my sister makes sense! I am very clean with my grows and extremely delicate with my harvests,... filtration, proper temp, and drying within 7 days and you will have the best of that harvest. I also like to point out that if all buds are cut from the main stem, the curing process takes place in a much more consistent and controllable manner. leaving buds on the main stem makes them live too long post harvest! ANd you know this Man!

[@johnadams3800]

I've found just the opposite, I've got to say. The plant, in both stem, branch, and leaf, has a ton of stored secondary metabolites that are osmoticaly drawn into the flower as it is drying, adding terpenes and additional cannabinoids that would otherwise not become available if the flowers were cut from the stems before hanging. I give my plants at least 14 days, if not 20 or more, at 50°f and 60% rh, and the results are far far superior in every metric than giving them only 7 and detaching them from the stem. I've tried em all, trust me. There's a lot of processes going on in the plant still, during the hang, that get shut down completely doing it that way.

[@dankdogma.]

I am taking mine to get it tested next week and will let you know the test results,... I used to just stuff all my weed in a box and bag it two weeks later and had better results than any of my people, but the product is supreme,.. I have dehydrated this bud and its still 10 times better tasting than anything I have ever bought. I am editing a video now if you want to see tiny pure super tasty nugs,.. the test will speak louder than my small buds... lol! I grew for yield for 30 years and now that it is legal I grow for the highest terps and potency. one week flush and all organic tea makes my cure less tedious. If I were still using high EC and advanced nutrients, I would flush two weeks and cure for two weeks, still having some residual chem taste for another week after that, so I do agree with your tech for sure, but have some veganic beauties that get you high like toad venom leaving you with a great high and great taste when trance subsides! lol! @@johnadams3800

[@dankdogma.]

@@k.pliskin3214 supreme cleanliness but not supreme potency... 22%thc... I still think the test was a bit off but,.. new strains in the grow room now... I thought I would hit 30% thc, and can't wait to smoke a strain that really has 30% because 22% seems strong for me,... purity is there and taste is fantastic, no real test for that, but my weed is average tested according to results,...

[@Maelthras]

I was getting those huge spikes in humidity because I have an open 110 gallon turtle tank in my home. Just mounted a dehumidifier above the turtle tank to take away the immediate humidity and then another in the 4x8 flowering tent. Humidifier is off and I just let the dehumidifier take water out and heat up the air because its winter. I don't track temps or humidity of the hanging room itself which is separate from the grow room, just the overall conditions within the home to ensure I'm not responding to subtle changes and causing spikes myself, about 70f and 45%. The bigger area you keep the same conditions, the more consistant it is compared to a small room or tent where temp or humidity can spike 5-10 f/rh. I just hang and wait for the hay smell to go away which is about 7-10 days, about 2-3 days after the smell cleans up I trim and jar everything. Jars are opened only occassionaly. This works for me, never seen mold and smoke is great.

[@k-hz2742]

[@XisGTZ.789]

Great information! With Modified Grapes I experienced the tingly numb tongue! Very interesting sensation.

[@luisvega1294]

I had that experience with a mac variety before!

[@SammyDingusJr]

I've had this experience before multiple times, but always with purple cultivars. I wonder if it has to do with the effects of smoking high concentrations of anthocyanins?

[@tommyheron464]

That's where the animal mints etc. strains get the mint in there name. The tingle has been described as minty. I think. 🤔

[@Alwaysgrowing1234]

I like how informative that was. About the research process and how funding works. Interested to see her future work. Didn’t know they were that hard into cigarette composition

[@jamies2013]

Great episode, no bro science and she is genuine. I can say for sure not flushing when using synthetics affects the taste and the quality as well as drying too quickly can end up with something smelling like hay! 😂 look forward to seeing her in the future and what she has going on. Getting better with time yourself Chris really enjoy your channel bro thanks

This was very interesting. I think unless you get it right once and totally wrong once. You will never realize how much of a difference drying and curing even makes.

I've never had a plant have all milky or milky/amber. It's literally always a combination of all 3

[@cvgodd1432]

I’ve had bud with all Amber trichomes. You can see it with your eyes!! They were so big and it was the most potent weed I’ve ever smoked. It was a Gorilla Glue. I threw up from coughing so hard, and I’m known to NEVER COUGH. Even when I take dabs I won’t cough. This bud was just special man, 2 hits and you would be in another world! I’d look at my nightstand and 80% of the blunt was still there!! While I’m in another world recovering from my coughing 😂.

[@jkbrothers-lu6rq]

Helpful tip...pipe cleaners from art's and craft section and big safety pins for LST

[@dmo848]

That's the 1 thing I really think helps get huge buds. Bending the plant over to make all tops. Works like a charm every time I do it. Even done it in flower cause I ran out of room before.

[@jkbrothers-lu6rq]

@dmo848 absolutely, cloth pots easy bend placements..clever and simple 👌

Flushing i( leaching ) is done to rid the substrate of salts and risidual nutrients to force the plavt to use up the nutrients in its leaves. Hence the fade and gets a jump on the breakdown of chlorophyll .

Cannatrol is basically a mini fridge with thermoelectric cooling unit. The part used to cool is called a peltier device, which is basically an electronic device with a hot side and cold side. They install heatsink and cooling fan on hot side, the cooler it is the colder the cold side will be. Then use temp controller to cycle electronics on and off via setpoints. They don’t cool as well as standard refrigeration unit, but they also don’t play havoc on relative humidity within the space.

[@gmolorin6529]

Chris, this was a fantastic episode, and Dr. Allison explained scientific ideas very well. I too am most interested in the science of cannabis. I have two questions that weren't covered: 1.) if 60º is good, and 33-44º is also good for long term sealed glass storage, what about freezing the sealed jars? OK or not? 2.) Does Doc think that vacuum sealing the lids on mason jars would allow for longer storage without browning, etc., even better than not vacuuming sealing the jars? Thanks again for a great science episode with someone that's truly not a bro' science individual!

[@Delta9Marty]

Awesome Awesome Awesome video and guest👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽… Quality and important information for the industry. .. Question for you, how was the quality of that wine fridge cure ??

[@Growmaster_Flash]

This was definitely a good one. How about a study on vpd vs latitude origins on different cultivars?

[@Chuksfunhouse]

...so almost finished with my first indoor cultivation... and I found this video to be extremely enlightening it is just become legal in the state of Ohio add purchased White Widow S1 seeds from Royal Queen seeds and then cloned so far everything that I have learned from watching this channel has helped me to have a completely successful cultivation and I'd like to say thank you I will be harvesting very soon in the next two weeks so this video is perfectly timed to help me finish out

[@josephsadler7513]

Try a more reputable brand in future grows. I’ve grown RQS, they are not great typically. In House, Exotic Genetix, Ethos, Sunken Treasure Seeds, LIT Farms, Humbolt, Etc etc.

[@Chuksfunhouse]

@josephsadler7513 reputable or not this has been looking wonderful and doing great so far but I appreciate you taking time out of your day .... although I was highly aware of there "reputation" there's many factors in play ..... never judge a book by its cover

I got lucky with some side work so I was able to purchase the Cannatrol! No more drying and curing woes.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Colder to a point. Don't freeze dry your stuff. Or get too cold while finishing. If using a freezer vacuum seal it. If trying to hold long term maybe think about concentrates. I know lots of people holding and can't sell much because prices. If I like the concentrate I do try growing it. Willing to pay for ip. Hoping to see if a grow spot gives prepper taste and gives me sneezes. Or if clone #4 was a mutated cut. Hoping to find kraken black pepper and place in that spot. Basswood blooms every other year gives more of floral taste. The cold frost seems to really up the smell of skunk and cheese. Great show.

[@chadwalton2128]

I'm curious after a year of use with the cannatrol do you still use the default settings or have you found a better setting for your liking

[@jaud6657]

So the best drying method or conditions are based on how smooth is when smoked so are there other ways of consumption that would benefit from a diferent way/conditions of drying?

[@keithlanter883]

Tongue burn can come from several types of nutes used too long into ripening. ex. Silica, sesnsizyme, ect.

[@618grow]

Interesting comment, I cut both of these products out at week 4 flower. Salt stress on roots late in flower is a good thing.

[@realchuckwow]

So in terms of harvest timing, can one take several buds earlier and “process” and wait for a week and then cut the rest after they have had some additional time to mature ?

About the funding of research - i work for a CRO, not for cannabis but for bioanalytical pharma research. When I client contracts research, they’re not contracting you to provide data that supports their hypothesis or bottom line or whatever, they’re contracting you to produce independent 3rd party data from an unbiased source - so cannatrol contracting that research is a great thing for transparency and reducing bias, not the other way around. We don’t particularly care what our data shows as an independent third party, as long as it’s accurate. If it’s devastating to the client’s product that sucks for them but to us it’s just 🤷🏻‍♂️ and if it’s what they’re hoping or expecting then great! But we’re all audited to heavily to attempt to skew data to favor the outcome the client wants and we’d be shooting ourselves in the foot to do so, scientific integrity is the only thing keeping us in business.
