Using a handheld moisture meter to determine proper final moisture content in buds
QuickBricksstarted grow question 2 years ago
Has anyone used a moisture meter such as a water damage type home hand held meter like from General
to measure the moisture content in the buds when drying/curing? If so, would you recommend using this as
a proper method? Cheers!

What is "General"?
I would say a moisture meter intended for wood or other solid surfaces will not work. Most of them work on electrical resistance so testing something like leaves or flower would be inaccurate.
To measure the moisture content I put them/it into a sealed, airtight container with a moisture meter. After 6 or more hours I read the humidity level. It is not an absolute reading of the pant's moisture content, since I'm reading the humidity of the air inside the container, but it provides an easy measurement.

Lüfter zu lautHey hat jemand einen Tipp für mich wie ich meinen Lüfter leiser machen kann ? Kaufe mir nächsten Monat einen neuen doch bis dahin muss es leiser werden ^^
Denkt ihr eine Decke in Streifen schneiden und mehrmals drumwickeln wäre provisorisch machbar ?
Oder eher Brand Gefahr ?

Are these male Pollen Sacs forming, or just damaged calyx?Autoflower 2 weeks from chop.
Plant fell over 2 days ago - perhaps this calyx came in contact with the floor and removed the 'skin' of the calyx?
Is she starting to herm?
Are these Nanners/ Male Pollen Sacs in the centre of the picture (bright green)? Or are they damaged calyx?

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
