@exclusiveX420, That's what it's all about IMO. Experimenting and finding out what works for you. Good luck!

@Bertoxxulous,thanks I actually ended up buying food grade hydrogen peroxide to start using regularly now. The UV roots I have read into more and see that for what it's doing and being used for. When i top off my pots after a few days with just fresh water. I need to add UC roots again because it's being depleted after 2-3 days. Further research on what's best for me. We will see

@exclusiveX420, I looked into the UC Roots stuff, and it looks like it is a different type of product than Hydroguard. Hydroguard puts beneficial microbes (why you don't want to use peroxide/H2O2 with it) in your solution that prevents negative microbes from causing root rot. It essentially chokes out bad microbes. I haven't had root rot bad enough to encounter what you have, but I know those are symptoms.

@Bertoxxulous, awesome man ty for the info. I will literally order hydro guard now. I actually got something called UC Roots a while back and it stopped and early root issue I had also caused by higher temps. But it seems to not be working now for whatever reason and I have religiously used it since I got it. All was perfect and I'm telling you I went to work and came home to a totally dropped plant from absolutely perfect plant healthiest it can possibly be. No damage at all anywhere. Pics show it's health, then I had to leave the next morning so all I did was change out the nutrients with fresh. Left for 3+ days and it's pretty much a goner. The other 2, different strains/diary miracle alien cookies survived it and are back in track. Temps are down finally for now. So I'll def get that supplement to help. Thank you

@exclusiveX420, Man that Grease Monkey mom looks beautiful!!! 👏 I have a suggestion for you about the DWC situation. If your water temps exceed 68 degrees your going to have naughty bacteria grow in your solution. I can also cause issues with oxygen uptake in the root system, but I think the threat of naughty bacteria is worse. The solution: Hydroguard. You need to get that stuff yesterday and use it in all DWC or hydroponic grows in general. That will literally eliminate root rot within 24/48 hours and provide a healthy biozone for your root system. Although Peroxide works, it doesn't hold a candle to Hydroguard. Additionally, if you use any organics (humic acid, fulvic acid, Liquid Karma, Organic nutrients, etc.) the Peroxide will kill all of benificials in those products off as well. Also, you really want to try keeping your water temps below 70 degrees if you can. I see your using a bucket. Check out my last grow....I was growing in a 5 gallon bucket (which is what I've used in my past grows) and made a water bath in a larger tote. Just the water bath alone will drop the temperature, but you can freeze water bottles and put that in the water bath to bring the temp down. You may not have the room for all that, and I have see dudes put frozen water bottles or even ice (but usually something that isn't going to melt into your solution) directly in their solution. I would hazard against that though because I think having ice directly touching your roots can't be good. I've definitely got the economy LED right now. It was less than $100 USD, but if you look at my last grow and this grow I think for that price it has more than paid for itself (MAXSISUN PB2000). However, after this grow I've got my eyes set on the ElectricSky ES300. It's literally the perfect dimensions/coverage for my grow room. I'm thinking I may just grow Sour Apple again after this grow. This would allow me to compare yields, and give me a plant that I will have some familiarity growing again instead of not knowing what to expect. I'll also be able to test nutrient levels again so I can dial-in using Jack's.

@Bertoxxulous,no problem brother. I haven't grown sour apple yet but I have def. Enjoyed it before haha. It's on stand by but not sure when I'll get some in. My plans keep changing. As for drying. If you get into a situation where you are drying to fast, iv found that using a turkey foil tray with lid has been very useful. Lid on for a day or half a day and then crack the lid for the same period of time back and forth. It will buy you potentially several days. Alot of commercial grows use the hang first method for 7-10 days, cut buds off or in some cases just cut branches singular and fill plastic totes. Then go to trim stage. I tried this during lower humidity stages. Shoe box is decent too. In the end the very best way is to never get to that point to where u need to slow it down but we grow at home it's hard. Haven't confirmed just yet but I'm about to chop very soon a grease monkey that is the most dank iv ever had yet. I took extra proper care with my very tight schedule of her and introduced UV light. I think it may have been a game changer. I think I have $65 into it. 2 foot grow brite brand t5 light bar and reptisun UVB 10.0 bulb to fit it. This might bring that extra flavor and potency that a small couple plant at home grower is missing. Iv had a handful come out better than I ever expected but I really am seeking that extremely potent batch. Effects I'm happy with what I have created but I feel like my flavor spectrum (terpenes) have been in the 6.5 or 7/10 range at best. 1 of the most amazing looking and growing plants and strains with a heck of alot of hype of flavor was average. It blew my mind that what I was holding didn't taste extremely amazing and potent. Could in the end just be strain related but now I have grease monkey and I know exactly what she is supposed to taste and be like. I honestly think this one might be commercial quality in all categories. I feel at least a few times out of these grows that iv had the density, bag appeal and effects of a top quality bud on high times magazine. Yet that 1 box that would never let's just say for example jokingly, win a cup! And I want that cup winning flavor. Not compete at a cup but to complete my medical needs. I always say, our "medicine" works best when we enjoy the taste. Therefore I chase the flavor. The effects usually follow. Not always typically the case. Enjoy brother enjoy. Take a look at my grease monkey mom. And don't laugh at possible my 2nd ever dying plant. Dwc clone of grease monkey went from healthiest ever to dying OVER NIGHT. Root situation, found a small larvae and or worm like thing in the roots of more than 1 plant but only one suffered. Thank God for hydrogen peroxide. It saved my plants from death I think this particular one is gone. It has ZERO fan leaves left in a matter of days and sadly it started the night B4 I left for almost 4 days. There was no hope for it. Haha learning is fun and I learn every day. Thanks to the community for knowledge and the will to do this and experience it. The best way to learn.

@exclusiveX420, Haha Sweet man I love that!😁

@Bertoxxulous,wow. Thanks to some really delicious Wedding Cake "strain not food of course" I was able to zone right into this message for maybe 20 mins. Wow. I love cannabis talk. ✌️🤙

@exclusiveX420, Thank you for all of that info! I'm hoping I find dry trimming easier. Wet trimming is an epic mess, and makes for a long day. Just chopping the plants, pruning off the larger fan leaves, and cleaning my gear was nice. We had high humidity up until a few days ago and I was running a dehumidifier to keep it down. However, the temps of dropped and so has the humidity. I've been sitting at 50% for the last couple days. I do not currently have access to a humidifier. Grove Bags is new to me. I've been Jar curing since I started growing, but this is only my 6th grow. However, my last grow I did implement the cheap hygrometers so I'm good to go there. I also have Boveda packs on stand-bye. My last grow I wet trimmed and think I dried for ~7 days. when they went into the jar they couldn't go above 50% for over 48 hours so that was also my first time buying Boveda packs. I then thought to myself my other 4 grows before that I probably did a bad job curing. Because I had over-dried on my last grow, I thought doing a whole hang would help me not over-dry again. I feel like the "snap" check with branches isn't exactly correct (small branch will snap when bent but not break), or I'm doing something wrong. I think I've been over drying my harvests every time. This last harvest I documented on this site was the wake up call. I will say the last time I grew before the Liberty Haze last year was in 2013....so I think I've missed a few things and am playing catch-up on all the new information (or maybe just more available and documented). Have you partook of this strain before? I can't really find any reviews. I think the healthy plant I've labeled as "happy" is the auto melon pheno and the "sad" is the sour diesel pheno. They distinctly smell different. I was wondering what your thoughts were? I think so far, especially how the melon pheno is just dripping in trichomes and smells fruity, it's been a really solid plant. I mean this is my first time in this new room I setup, new nutrients, first time with auto's, and I couldn't be more pleased. It could have gone a whole hell of a lot worse. I think I did cause some issues with early root rot due to light leaks in the reservoir. I also used too much nutrients against things I'd read and clearly burned the plant. I also need to learn how to use the light with auto's so I don't burn them. I think I could have gotten a better yield, but it's certainly not nothing.

Just want to chime in. This looks great dude. Good call to hang whole plant. Remove the large fan leaves though for the hang. Dry trimming is the best way and is actually easier when I thought wet would be, it is not. Your bud will take longer to dry which is needed. You need to shoot for 10-14 days of drying. Move your humidity after 3 or 4 days from 50/55 up to 60 area. Keep filter sucking, but don't blow your fans at the plants hanging. You will be fine. Don't hope to trim by next weekend because it may be to early. I get why it would be good timing but don't rush a thing here. Once you trim, go right into GROVE BAGS made for curing. Otherwise, use jars with NO boveda packets to start. Get a 5 pack of cheap hydro meters that fit in your jar. If they are up in the 60+ range you won't need packets for a few weeks. Just burp the jars twice a day to relieve the moisture and stale air. Then after the meters reach 59% or less I would introduce the packets. (Don't judge the hydro meters until about 12-24 hours after putting the bud in so they can moisten up and then give you an accurate reading) it takes just alil time for the moisture to return and it usually will unless you have over dried the product. Make best judgement. Outside of buds will become crisp, branches may start to snap not bend but when u squeeze the bud u may just slightly still feel a low % of moisture is within the bud, this is perfect time to trim. Good luck, I'm actually about to order sour apple auto. I love this strain but have several photos lined up and need a few autos to fill in. This seems like it's doing well enough to include in my garden. Keep it up I'll stay tuned to watch your updates. Be patient and your bud will be what you want it to be. 👍👍
