Florida Dave’s first attempt to grow

[Florida Dave]

here is my entire first grow cured, fermented for 2 months and rested for a month. I was pretty happy until I noticed the biggest bag with about a pound of the seco Criollo leaves showing a bit of blue/green mold. I went through it and there is slight mold throughout the stack. This bag was the one I took the time to flatten and stack. I assume the mold came from that operation since the rest looked clean.

It’s actually a full size fridge and it also has a circulation fan too. The mister died - I ended up with a tray of water with a dish towel hanging in it to wick water up. It maintained humidity pretty well.

That's pretty cool idea nonetheless I might try it round curing time.

Looks like quite the haul, lmk how it smokes.

These two pictures were take. 1 hour and 45 minutes apart. These are for the second round this year. The first round was stunted and kind of puny although they got off to a good start I think the low rainfall and high temperature may have played significantly in the lack of growth. I also was given a small sample of seeds from a coworker who got them from his uncle in Puerto Rico. He doesn’t know exactly what variety they are - just really big leaves. I am going to make room and try a few of them to see what they look like and maybe get them harvested before the first frost.

Criollo filler bound and wrapped with Havana Long Leaf. The first rolls with some of my first grow attempt. Yes, one of the caps is upside down.
