The buds I have smoked so far are smooth and tasty. The vapour smell is stronger than the street weed I am used to. The high varies from bud to bud, but the lighter buds are very clean cerebral high. I have found buds that just locked me in to couch giggling mode though. Nothing disappointing at all!

Nothing to compare against really atm. I was given the Plant Magic product sample with the tent.

Probably over used this. I should have stopped once their stretch growth finished.
I liked the name so I brought this after starting the grow. I have no baseline for comparison. I’ll keep using it though.
The remaining 5 plants dried in about 4 days. The weather just got too hot. I had to move fast to trim and get them in the jars. One in each, with Stretchy almost filling 2. They felt a bit over dried. So I had a damp paper towel in each jar for about 10 hours. They freshened up nicely. Now I’ll wait for the curing to go for at least 2 weeks.
I learnt a lot in this grow. I mostly just let them go to see what would happen. I wanted a SOG, so I started with 9 seeds. But I overcrowded the tent even with 7. Next time I’ll go for 5 max in bigger pots. I will try LST to see if I can control the space a bit more. I fed them Rhyzotonic longer than I should have and rose the soil ph too much. Then there was the overwatering the seedlings. I set most of them back 2-3 weeks by doing this. I probably made mistakes I don’t even know about yet.
But after all that I ended up with almost 6.5oz of very nice buds. It means serious savings for my family as well as getting out of the street weed scene. I’m so inspired by the amazing grows I see on this site. I start my new diary next week.
Cheers!

Grow Questions
Luciditestarted grow question 5 years ago
I’m doing an early harvest of 2 plants. I wanted to dry the buds in the tent, with the remaining 5 plants, as I don’t have any other air conditioned location in the house. There is a dark space above the lights. 25c & 45% RH atm. Is it a viable idea? Or should I just never do it?

Hi there mate , nice looking grow so far 😀
I wouldn't try to dry them in the tent with the grow lights etc because they would probably dry too quick
and be crumbly and not the best smoke. What your after is a dark spot with a bit of airflow and constant temps
and it will take 5 days or so to be properly dry and ready to begin the curing process. 👊
I hope this has helped mate

Awesome stuff! I’m growing the same strain from ILGM, just finished up week seven. I love checking your diary to get a sneak peek of what to expect in the coming weeks.

Coming along great pal! Room conditiond are sitting perfect, what dehumidifier did you go for, now i have the extractor fan and carbon filter i can keep between 55-62 rh now, big improvements however still need that little bit lower :( and the fan seems to be stealing some tempature when increased further - so hard getting that happy medium so great job doing it 🙏🤘

@Joah420, I just added twin 25w white LEDs on goose necks. Given I’m only in a 4 foot square space, this has increased the light quite a bit visibly. No idea how much this will affect temperature. I’m going to keep a close eye on it.

Love the grow! As to your question, I see you have figured something out for a dry box but if you decide to redesign later on, check out my current grow, week 14. I put together a dry box from a cardboard box from Home Depot, $10 filter, 4 inch ducting, a small fan, and string I had laying around. I also added two silica gel packs to keep the humidity down. Currently, I have 400+ grams of wet bud drying and the temps are 71 degrees, humidity is 56%, and there is no smell coming from the box unless I open it.

@GrowingisFunkO, I see. I missed that the box was not with the tent. Thanks.

@Lucidite, There are double layered charcoal filters over the top of two 6" square cutouts on the sides of the box. The fan is taped to some 4" ducting that is taped to the other side of the box, I use it for pushing fresh air from the bedroom into the box to keep the fresh air moving slowly around the buds. If the air is moving too quickly, it can dry the buds out quicker and lower the bud quality. Also, my tent is in my garage and it is getting warm in my area, so using the box in my spare bedroom just happen to work perfectly for my situation. I was planning on originally using the filtered exhaust from my tent but the air pressure was way too much for the box setup. Once I tape the top up, I can't smell anything in the room. Just figured I would share, its a convenient and cheap way to harvest your plants separately, when they are each ready. I will say, it makes trimming much easier doing little by little. haha

@GrowingisFunkO, cool box. I think my setup is ok for the small amount I have initially. I’m at 23/73.5 and 45%. I almost went with a box. Wasn’t considering a fan though. Feeding back into the tent, I have noticed, that if I don’t leave any other baffle slightly open, then the tent walls suck in with the lower pressure. The air really rushes through the box. Does the fan do anything else?

For curing maybe try the packs like boveda. After those my curing issues with high humidity are gone. Peace of mind. No burping required, no hygrometer, no worries.

Another week in, looking good pal! Read your weekly report I'm in the same position I wanted to tent dry for smell and ease options, however as you said I think my plants are also at all different stages. Let me know what option you end up going with, not long now 🙏😁

@Joah420, yeah close now. I’d like to think 2 weeks till first harvest but realistically I think 3 is probably closer. I’ll give them one more feed in a couple of days then decide. I need to order a better microscope to see the trichomes. The pocket one I have now is too powerful and hard to settle on anything. Looking at jewellery magnifying glass instead. Then I will have a better idea.
I’m thinking of hanging the first harvest in the tent, above the lights, in a small drying rack. Wet trimmed. I have a 20x25x50cm free space. Temp currently 23c 47% humidity. It would be just right if I could block enough light to it. Or alternatively, a separate box, feeding back into the tent via an air intake.

@@lilbp420, yeah really pleased with it. Thank you! I had put a bunch of hydrometers around the house to find the coolest place. The hallway downstairs was always ~5 deg c lower than the hottest place. But in the end, the air filtering provided by the tent won out. I’ll move the box anywhere if I have to. I’m not spending 3 months growing these amazing plants to dull them somehow :)

Thanks for the quick answers everyone. I’m going to think of another plan. It is actually going to be about keeping it down to ~20 deg. The weather is getting hot here over the next two weeks!
