@Azuri two questions bud
1.) how much weight do you lose in the drying process, im curious? Does it average at like 10%?
2.) you guys mentioned 3 days dry time, grobo is stating 5. sad face
@Stephen I think the yellow leaves came from dead roots. When i cut her out, half of the roots fell off the plant in lifting it out of the reservoir.
I usually see about 70% weight loss during drying and can lose a bit more in the cure. I’ve extended the dry recipe to 5 days up from 3, but you can take the buds out when they are crisp to the touch.
Got any pics?

Yup, I will share shortly 
I should have taken some of the roots, but it was a literally gloppy mess inside so i just scooped it all out and my hands were wet. (with gloves on)

I forgot to mention.
I got the grobo magnets for drying, except they dont go straight across, they are too short by about 1-1.5 inches.
Is that just mine?
I had to hang everything diagonal.
They are designed to stretch. Just give them a gentle pull and they will cross the chasm.

Hey @Todd.grobo yeah I was going to chime in with 75% after drying, trimmed and cleaned.
I dried outside the grobo as I put on a new seed within an hour of my last harvest and a cleaning.
The less dense buds were ready in 3 to 4 days and the bigger denser buds took 5 to 6 days before hitting the jars.

Good to know @Azuri
many of my buds are very big. Trimmed non dried weight with stems is 116g. At 11 or 12 stems I figure 1g each brings it down to 104g minus weight lost in drying.
But if it’s five days for drying, and they are large buds. Then I may have to find an alternative manner in dealing with this when i am gone. I would rather be realistic

Thank you for the tip @Stephen. I felt a bit silly after but it just goes to show that I didn’t want to damage my machine.
P.s. the smell is intensely amazing.

Wait until two weeks after you open up the jar. This is the step not taken by the majority of dispensaries or street weed. It’s all about turn around harvest, dry and sell. Skipping the curing stage can be tempting.

after the two weeks of curing, i can smoke? Can i add the boveda packs back in at that point?
Sure can, you can smoke the moment it’s dry enough. Typically you only need Boveda packs if you overdry or to maintain 62%RH for storage.
The wife and I will have the harvest smoked in 6 weeks tops probably less so stored in a glass jar it will be gone before drying out will be an issue for us. Avoid storing your weed in baggies. Worst place to keep your stash IMO but we are all guilty of it.

Can the team add a test button that after a grow and after cleaning we can click it to ensure pumps work lights work etc

Your a smart guy… wish parts would come apart for cleaning … I swear it’s hard for someone 6ft to fit inside and scrub the entire inside … I swear I should make a video of me trying to make it to the back of my plants … for grobo two they should make the tank be able to turn 360 degrees to tend to the whole plant … not sure if that’s a possibility but would be cool

Interesting on the turning idea. I wonder how that would affect roots. I like it @chris_barfield but seem to have unresolved issues.
45 degree angle mirrors in 2 or 3 corners would also add like 30 percent more light

Yea it was just an idea didn’t think about logistics but yea I wish there was but stronger light … or ways to add supplemental lights

For sure @chris_barfield wasn’t trashing on tour idea if I came across that way man. I always think of the negative usually immediately after thinking of the positive. It’s the black mirror side of me. Lol
@Todd.grobo and @chris_barfield I like all the ideas especially the test button to make sure all is good before starting a new grow. For the light issue I’m thinking of lining the inside with reflective mylar film what you think?

Naw naw didn’t sound like that at all … I just didn’t think about how the roots get tangled around the items in the grobo …
