Started flushing this week. The final stage is taking much longer than I had expected. I see some amber appearing but only very light and scattered. Will continue monitoring on a daily basis to determine time of harvest.
All three plants are at slightly different stages. I will probably harvest them at the same time to test the different stages at harvest.
Trichome stages at harvest :
1. Mostly amber
2. Mostly cloudy, hint of amber
3. Cloudy
wouldn't it be much easier to use a closet or to build a wooden box or to get a tent or to improvise one or to use an old fridge or to use an old computer tower case(lots of safer options).
Cardboard...not a great combination (heat, wires, cardboard, water, high humidity...all hazards)...it can work, but it's extreme (?!)
Best of luck with the grow! be safe!
Consider participating in a contest or so and maybe @GrowDiaries might have a nice tent for you to win or any of the big companies around to sponsor you!
@@occultgreen420, absolutely. I only chose to do it like this because I couldn't wait until my Home Box Vista S and Mars Hydro TS 600 arrived ;) Was only an interim solution for 2,5 weeks during the initial time post germination. Worked like a charm :)
Be careful with the aluminium foil. Simple white cardboard or white walls will do the job. You risk of burning your plants if the light is concentrated on one spot
@Geordiejesus, thank you for the advice. I had no issue with this set up because I only used it for 2,5 weeks witha small and cheap 72W LED until my Home Box Vista S and the Mars Hydro TS 600 arrived. Plants loved it and grew heathy and quick.
@Micgrow,
Yes, you put the wet buds in a cardboard box 📦, and you can leave the top half open. Just make sure not to overcrowd them on top of each other as you risk getting mold.
@Green_Dream, yeah true. But I want to use my tent for drying. I will have to make a plan to dry and grow at the same time. Do you think I can dry at the top of the tent above the LED? I'd rather dry in the dark but I need the carbon filter in the tent... Any ideas?
