Week 8 Update
Buds on 2 plants are a bit ahead of the other 2. Starting to show a bit of plumping up and showing off some nice coloration with a bit of fade coming in telling me they are getting closer to getting flushed. The smell of spicy sweet chem is over powering the rest of the grow. Got in 2 feedings this week with one plain watering and drizzled the tops of the pots with LABS(Lactic Acid Bacterial Serum) and Organic Blackstrap Molasses diluted with water. Looks like they are still feeding/drinking. Run off is 950 ppm to 1050 ppm with a 6.2 ph. Trying to squeeze in at least one or more feedings in week 9.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Rehydrating your Boveda 62% humidity packs.
Week 8 leaves us plenty of time to rehydrate those crunchy Boveda packs which they claim are no longer any good. Well I call B.S. on that fact.
Always handle the packs gently so as not to damage the packs membrane. In other words don't fold them, crush them etc. Take an airtight container and add a small bowl of water with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to keep it sterile. Add your Boveda packs and a hygrometer. (Note "DO NOT" put the packs in the water) Put the top on tightly and allow the humidity to rise. They will absorb the 95%+ moisture in the air to rehydrate.
After 4 to 5 days open the top and remove the packs that are once again fully liquidized. Any ones that still have any solid salts leave in the container and repeat the process as long as needed. The ones that have fully rehydrated can be placed into a jar with a properly calibrated hygrometer and check the humidity level. We are looking for 62% to 63% humidity. If it's higher than this simply remove the top from the jar for a few hours at a time and recheck the humidity levels. It may take 3 or 4 tries to get it back down into the correct range but be patient.
I've taken packs that were completely dry and rehydrated them. Sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks to accomplish this but it does work. If you have any liquid leakage coming out of the packs toss them because the membrane is damaged we want to avoid getting our buds wet. We all know this is an expensive hobby but every little bit helps out in the long run.👌
@ganjapanda, I always wet trim. Then after drying and curing I usually give them a light trim to neaten them up a bit. I like my buds with a nice tight trim. There are a lot of growers that try to pad their weight by not trimming until after they've dried their crop.
I kept my window open/igloo'd around the base of my CMOG Autos to try and pull anything and only go a small amount of purple on the main sugar leaves 😓 i gotta find a way to drop it under 18 Celcius in my room to try and get more 💀
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze, It's intresting I usually get one or two plants that show off some nice coloration near the end but I never get all of them to put on a nice show. I think it's just phenotype differences.👍
@GuerrillaNo_4, I have used Sensi Bloom in the past with good results. Supposedly the Connoisseur Bloom contains higher quality ingredients than the Sensi Bloom. In my opinion the both work well regardless.
