Not bad for buy 10 get 10 free.. A very piney scented plant.. It couldn't handle the heat (I'm assuming).. She grew ALOT of foxtails this time around.. Temps got up to 90F at times.. But being grown in a 9oz cup.. She did pretty good, I'd say! Tastes just like it smells... Delicious!
Harvested 2 days early...
Yup.. Thats right.. A branch snapped.. I couldve just taped it.. Or even just let it go for the rest of the week till harvest.. But meh.. Not that worried about it.. Smells great.. Can't wait to taste her!!!... And taste the plant 😂😁 jk.. Not really but yeah.. So As I'm drying I am using a humidifier because if I DON'T.. Then it will be super dry in about 2 or 3 days.. And then smell like hay.. Using the humidifier, I can stretch the drying time to about 5 days.. And even when I get them into the jars, the RH will usually be about 68% - 70%.. At this point I burp daily.. Once it gets down to about 65% RH, I will begin to burp weekly until the RH is at 62%.. Once at 62% I stop burping all together and try to forget about it till its time to smoke!!.. Will be updating as the drying and curing go!...
5 days of drying..
The leaves are crispy.. Buds are kinda crispy.. I've left them hanging inside of the box and inside of another box type thing that fit the drying box and a humidifier.. The humidifier has been on low the entire 5 days on low.. Checked twice a day, if not more and was at about 66% RH 95% of the time.. The other 5% was just after me looking at them lol.. Got down to about 60% those times.. But they seem to be right in the sweet spot.. 24 hours and I'll know if I jarred them too early or just right.. Definately not too late tho.. The RH has already went up a bit after 1 hour of being in the jar.. Love this stuff..
24 hours in the jar...
Reading 66-67% RH... PERFECTO!!! Just gonna burp 1-2 times a day till it gets down to 62% RH.. Then into a vacuum sealed bag with a Integra 62% pack.. Boveda 62's are nice.. But I'm saving them for bigger harvests.. These Integra Boost 62 packs are pretty great too.. I do kinda like the indicator card too.. But I'd still rather have a hygrometer in there too.. But this will do.. Also putting the sealed bags into a jar still.. This bud always comes out great.. The taste is typical cannabis but NICE and DANK! I cant wait to try out more ILGM strains.. Especially the autos!!!.. Will be updating the cure still.. At least till I get it down to 62% RH and seal it up..
Aye, growmies... Got some springtails.. Medium is coco/perlite using General Hydroponics Flora Series including a couple supplements.. Has anyone else had to rid springtails? Using Dia××××××ous Earth or Neem Oil preferably? And how to use... Thanks growmies!
Try to clean if there is some colonies in the grow area, if they are in the soil u have to use some product like azadirachtin if u cant beat them with a dry/wet cycle to force them to exit and maybe go on some sticky trap over the soil.
@coyote2thick,
Its usually about another 2 weeks for me.. Then once the flowers are being more focused on, I cut out the grow all together.. In veg I dont use any bloom yet.. 100% gro.. Then, in transition phase, I use 50/50 with the grow and bloom.. Then after those 2 weeks, I just use 100% bloom.. The actual dose is different for each plant tho... But that's how I do the ratios for the weeks
@coyote2thick,
I usually give the gro even for transition phase.. While she's still stretching and making more leaves.. Once the buds are being more focused on, i cut out the grow completely and replace it with a bloom booster.. Thats just what works great for me so far
@ThatSweetSmoke,
Mine started showing pistils pretty early on like yours.. But I think it's still just preflower phase.. I think mine has still been vegging like normal.. But you should still be able to notice the flower stretch when it does start to flower.. That's what I have expericed with this, at least.
@Ferenc,
Thanks! They are nice and colorful.. But these damn foxtails.. They are annoying. Its hard to keep the temps below 85F right now.. Sometimes it reaches 90F-91F.. Once its colder outside I can usually keep it at 80F easily.. I can't wait till winter!
@Donjuanweedo,
I did poke holes in the red cup.. 3 on the outsides.. So it could even drain from the sides a bit.. And 1 in the very middle... The clear cup is meant to catch the runoff.. So the clear cup has no holes..
@Ferenc,
Thanks growmie! She is fun to work with.. Besides the yellowing (which I know is normal at the end of flower.. But Im usually able to avoid it till flushing) .. Other than that she is doing awesome! Oh.. And now some springtails.. Fuck..
@Hempy_the_kid,
Shit was trippin me out.. Guess Im not gonna be using my humidifier anymore.. Was growing for a year and a half without one with no issues.. Damn.. More wasted money.. Lol. Thanks for the input.. I was beginning to think baby powder was somehow being shot into the intake or something.. But glad to know this issue is just the humidifier. Thanks again growmie!
