Chris42081started grow question 4y ago
So much to learn. .. At the moment working on correct VPD, depending on stages I'm in. Definitely Alot to fine tune and learn so I'll get direct to my question.. Does anyone know the proper VPD for drying? Or if there is a range of VPD for drying. ?

For drying your aiming for 60F and 60RH for 14 days then jar for curing. Those are the optimal drying conditions.

I do not beleve VPD has anything to do with drying, only living plants..........and it really isn't that critical for your average home gardener.
Worry more about learning the basics like watering and feeding and observing your plants and tuning in to them and this will pay bigger rewards than most anything else.
VPD is more for commercial growers trying to maximise profit, not the average home grower trying to get some hand made goodies.

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!

Ready to chop for not too minimal couch lock?The main top cola looks pretty done with a few amber trichomes. Id like the rest of the plant to be good though, does the rest of these macro shots from the lower nugs look good enough? I want almost all clear with a few ambers so not too couch locked.

I'm having an exceptionally hard time telling how close or far from harvest based on my trichomes. My eyes maybe not what they used to be. I...seem to see a mix from clear clear all the way to some Amber's. I'm using a jewelers lope and also zoom through camera etc. Lil help?

When can I start harvesting?Hey guys, how long do you think I’ve got till I can harvest? I’m keen to chop her but I don’t want to be too impatient. It’s week 9 of a Fast Eddy CBD and only has 9% THC, so I’ve no idea is that’ll effect the trichomes going milky or not.
