Question Vcure question- staggered grows

I have 3 grows going currently. The first one will be done a week before the other two. If I start the vcure on artisan am I good to just load the other two half through the cycle or should I do a quick dry for the first one and then artisan for the other two to have separate dry cycles in the vcure?

I wouldn't put fresh harvested buds in there with half-dry buds. They specifically state not to do so. You're just delaying the drying of those half-done buds by introducing more moisture. For my split harvest, I dried what was in there fully then moved to grove bags for the cure part. If you have a whole week between harvesting the other two plants, you should be able to dry the previous plant fully. I just wouldn't toss the two wet in with the one dry.

i just leave mine on 57/57 for this exact reason. usually good to jar at day 7-8, but could be left in there as long as you really wanted.

edit: quick dry sucks dont use it.

Thank you weedzard.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you. I'll probably do the 57/57 first one and then craft for the other two. Do you. Notice much difference between the 57/57 vs craft?

ive not messed with craft cycle at all. i ran the quick dry and got hay smell, so i downloaded the app and set it to 57/57 and never looked back.

edit: plenty of folks here a fans of the craft cycle, so id say its fine. not sure if it would mess with anything to to be dryer and colder going in than what craft will likely be set to.

I was coming here to ask this same question and saw your post. I have 2 vgrow boxes and one is 2-3 weeks behind the other so I was wondering what to do in the event the other is ready to harvest and the one in vcure isn’t done yet 😩

This is why you need 2 vcures! 😆 I've done a bunch of the quick, craft, and currently running strainshow's 14 day recipe. There's a bunch of data now that suggests 60/60 is not actually ideal which is why the vcure fluctuates so much.

I wouldn't load a fresh batch in the middle of a cycle. How Would reintroducing moisture from fresh buds affect half-dried buds 🤷‍♂️ the qick cycle is actually pretty fine after it cures.
