We concluded the ripening this week with AC and dehumidification at 70° 40% relative humidity lights on and 65° and 45% relative humidity lights off.
We’re feeding Jacks RO and silica to the end, hence the fan leaves are still relatively healthy. This is a no flush grow.
I’ve n been growing at 80% lights (800w) for most of the Grow. During ripening, I pushed it to 90% or 900 W. On the final day, I run the lights 24 hours and I run 15 minute cycles of 900 W and 1000 W.
Just following the science; No more flushing and push the lights higher and higher at the end.
We started a slow chop to fine tune the quality and get more light deeper into the canopy.
After 4 more days of testing and monitoring they were ready, it all came down and we filled the 6-tier drying rack.
We’re curing At 70° and 55% relative humidity for two days and then bumping that humidity to 62%. The first round is already in jars and beginning the burping stage.
Fiancé is happy, the hard work is coming to an end, and it’s time to start enjoying the fruits of our labor.
Best of luck on your grow.
