EhlersChickstarted grow question 6 years ago
My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!

Hi @EhlersChick. Don't do that! You will ruin your final product and risk to encounter mold issues. This is strange since you're close to the ideal drying RH (~50%), can't this be related to your temperature? You should consider building a drying box, I've made one out of cardboard and it's working fine. Basically, a cardboard container with a passive intake hole and a tiny computer fan (mine is 4x4cm) to extract the air and generate a smooth airflow in your box. Put the box in your coolest room, if RH is too low you can put a mister/humidifier in the same room. Finally, you may consider giving your plants a last watering right before the cut (24-48h before the cut), this should increase the drying time because of more water in the buds. Hope this will help, enjoy your harvest! 👊

Hello ! If you do that you will have bud rot for sure. A Quick drying is better than a bad drying. Like Athos told you the bathroom is always the room with the higher RH so hang them here next time. I hope it will help you😁👍

I've never tried to place them into jars without drying them and would not advice you to. What I would do is to look for a better place for drying them, like a cabinet in a bathroom or kitchen where is usually colder and more humid. In my old place, the humidity was low and the temperature was high, making the drying time really short. A good cure went a long way and it's what I would advice you to do (at least 2 months).

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Defoliar o no defoliarTengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.
