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).

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys.
A beginner question here.
Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom.
If I have to cut them when would be the best time?
I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering?
If so, which leaves are safe to remove?
They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedules

How much defoliation should I do?This gnome automatics “forge” is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
