Theia Well this is the first try for us and as i have no reference to what the plant will/should look like i'm gonna just wing it and see what happens. This is more of a practice run so i have a benchmark on the next round.

Theia Start of week 8 and i got a few macro shots. Today we had really hot weather 36c. RH went up to 85% I got worried so after advice i increased the air movement in the tent and it droped 10% already i dunno if its the increased air flow or the fact its just cooled down now but thanks for putting my mind at ease. Thanks for the advice @The8thChevron 10/08. another really hot day, RH sat at 72% with air temps at 27c. Spent the day playing around with fans and getting some better air flow. Happy with the results RH is now 52% and air temps i cant do much about at 29c.. 11/08 32c and no air :(. But with a mix of a cheap amazon de humidifier and a bunch of fans RH is sitting at 57%. fingers crossed there will be no mould after the last week.

Grow Questions

Theiastarted grow question 5y ago

Does anyone have some sage advice on how to keep humidity down? Today we had 36c outside temps and humidity in my tent hit 85%.. Firstly is this an issue? I normally have a reading of 50-60% but I can't lower it today. Second, how can I lower it.

Solved

Setup. Ventilation

The8thChevronanswered grow question 5y ago

Well the easiest method is to get a dehumidifier. Don't waste money on a small, cheap one, they dont work well. Other things you can do is increase airflow in your grow space. For a tent, an inline duct fan is key. Otherwise, you can add a couple oscillating fans to the area. This won't bring down the RH, but the high airflow helps at warding off molds and mildews. Last option is to defoliate. Defoliate the bushiest part of the plant. This will decrease her perspiration so helps with RH. It also opens up airflow, again, important for keeping molds and mildews away. All that said, a few days at a high RH won't kill her. Just make sure she has good airflow. Best of luck my friend!

ElMetitoranswered grow question 5y ago

you can try to attach the branch with the insulating tape to the black one in PVC (for electrical systems) to see it, the branches even if they are completely patched can still finish flowering, attach it well and you will see that everything will be ok.

Theia I think i have got rid of too much leaf from when i paniced last week when i was fighting with RH. I chopped way too much big leaf and the bubs have stopped filling out it looks like to me.. Lesson learned. This grow has so far peovided me with some great issues to watch for on the next grow.. day 69 and i think i am going to give a final feed of bloom tonight and then flush them with some PH 6.2 water for week 10. Temps back around 28.5c and RH is between 47- 52%

Have i cut off too much leaf in week 8? I was fighting to control RH and decided to cut back some of the bigger leaf but i may have got a bit cutter happy! It feels like the buds have not put any weight on this week. Would it hurt to feed some extra bloom?

Solved

Buds. Not fattening

DoDrugs420answered grow question 5y ago

She is looking fine and growing, has a bit of signs of overfeed but overall its a perfectly healty plant, i wouldn't give extra feed to compensate lack of foliage, as with less fotosyntetically active areas the nutrients will be less efective due to having less fotosyntesys to make use of the nutrients by the plants, so it may burn her to increase the dosage, just let her grow, and stick to the schedule and everything will be perfect.

Hello, If you want tho harvest when the plant is in is full power of thc and other components, you aim to harvest when the tricomes are 90-10%( cloudy amber) ! If you and a more sedative feeling or a mix with head high you can harvest when the tricomes are 50/50( cloudy/amber), more amber tricomes more sedative high will be, because thc are transformed in CBN! So she will be ready soon! Just keep a eye on that tricomes! Wish it helps! Check my diarie if you like! Cheers mate !

DoDrugs420answered grow question 5y ago

None at all, had my timer go mental and turning on and off whenevr he wanted, so i had my autos with basically something like 3h on 30min off 1h on 30 min off 4h on 30min off 1h on 6h off and they still all did well. It was during my growbarato diary, now i dont use timers at all. Whenever i find a reliable one i might go back to timers, in relation to the plant, she won't care. Photoperiods- (timer goes rogue) WHAT THE FUCK?! IMMA DIE ,IMMA REVEG, IMMA DO SEEDS!!! Autoflowers- (timer goes rogue) Did something happen? I could had grown an extra 0,001cm during the time it was off, oh well back to normal now.

HeavyHittahanswered grow question 5y ago

I like to trim all the big leaves off . Hang them up in a tent . Keep humidty around 60 percent for the first few days . Then reduce it as the week goes on to around 50 to 55. Temps I keep quite cool at 19.5degress c. Usually dried nicely in 8 days. Longer the drying process the better. You don't want to dry then to quickly. Keep a fan in the corner of the tent also for air circulation. Not directed at your buds. And in the curing jars from there.

As a first grow i do not know if it went how it was supposed to go. I have no reference. I had a lot of moments where i did not know but then thats where this place was so useful and a big thank you to those who helped me out via grow questions or for some my constant PM's. The strain was solid throughout. I did not train in any way and she just grew into a beast. It was a pleasure to watch her grow and i have learned so much. I hope the drying and curing goes as well as the grow. I am very happy. Shes hanging upside down in my tent with a room temp of 21.5c (best i can get ) and a RH of 56%🙏 I already have started 3 more plants so watch out for my diaries if you want a laugh.. Thanks and happy growing all. I shall update the real weights etc once the cure is done... But 16Oz of wet i have to say im so happy with that..

Theia I will update of course but at the moment waiting for it to dry/cure i am very happy. great strain very strong plant. I mean really strong and she forgave all my noobishness mistakes along the way. I already have another in.. Update to the first grow!.. Well i now know i could have waited a bit longer. I was impaitent but i realise that. Also i was keen to take my tent down and build a proper grow space for the next project. I have that now after building a false wall with full electric installed and a rhino filter extraction system and a new improved home made inlet system built from old PC parts.. We got 123g from the widow and it is so sticky and full of resin. I under estimated the time needed to trim it all also. I have decided to try to make future grows more structure. I will trill a mainline and try to work 8 decent colas instead of all the little popcorn buds i got. It is all in jars curing and i hope it will just get better with time. Thanks again to all my new friends who helped and please check out my other diaries to see if i am learning from my mistakes. Special thanks to @The8thChevron and @OimRausch. your paitent words were appreciated.

Halfway into week 9 and the smells are amazing. She's not growing any bigger to the eye but I can see the buds are fattening up like a fat kid in a sweet shop. (Candy store for our American friends)... I am sitting out watching her far too much and think I have maybe 10 days to 2 weeks left. For our first grow this has been so much fun. I've learnt so much from so many nice folks. Thanks to everyone who advised me so far. I have some Barney's farm triple cheese and a narco purps for when my widow is done and I can't wait..

Wow, looking good! I don’t know what kind of tent you have, but on mine there is a flap at the back with a screened vent. I stuck a bigger dehumidifier right on the outside of the tent so it pulls air from the vent flap and it had worked wonders for my humidity problem. I couldn’t get it below 60% before and I had 3 fans going and an extractor fan! Now it stays around 40-45. I’ll definitely follow your progress.

@BlueBillie, I do have the flap you mention. The trouble is I have had to put the tent into a cupboard that is only a little bigger then the tent so my access is just awful. But these are the lessons I wanted to learn along the way. I shall be building a purpose built shed at the back of the garden soon with a 6ft sq space dedicated. So all the tips and things I learn on this grow I can carry forward. An update on the high RH. Came out this morning, and it was at 92%.... I carried out some defoliation as she was bushy low down. It's dropped 20% already. De humidifier is on the list though.😊
