Placing a dehumidifier or humidifier in the grow box turned out to be ineffective when both devices have their own automated settings. For instance, a humidifier set to 55% humidity works within a ±5% range, meaning it waits until the humidity drops below 50% to turn on and runs until it hits 60%. Since its sensor refreshes every 30 seconds, it might show 54% one moment and jump to 61% the next—not exactly stable at 55%. The dehumidifier behaves similarly. To achieve more consistent results, it’s better to rely on a hygrometer inside the grow box and use “dumb” devices that simply turn on when powered. Connecting these devices to smart outlets provides more precise control. For manual control, I maintained around 55% humidity by turning the humidifier and exhaust fan on and off via phone. Most moisture and aroma are released during the first three days, then taper off. The common rule of “when thin branches snap, it’s dry” led me to overdry my buds. A more reliable method is to monitor the hygrometer. When humidity stabilizes after the initial rise, wait one more day and then jar the buds. Rehydrating Overdried Buds: Overdried buds can be revived with a small piece of mandarin (or orange) peel, about 2.5x2.5 cm. Thoroughly wash the peel (even sanitize it if needed), cut a square, and place it on top of the buds in the jar. In my experience, this brought the humidity from 46% to 62% within 4 hours. Afterward, burp the jars for 15 minutes and monitor the hygrometer. If the humidity drops below 55%, return the peel for a few more hours. Once stable at 60-62%, remove the peel and continue curing, burping the jars twice daily for 15 minutes. As for humidity packs like Integra Boost or Boveda, I used them because I had some lying around. These packs are designed for 12 grams of product, so they don’t make a big difference in larger jars. If you burp jars daily and gently rotate the buds, they’re not really necessary. Trimming and Results: After 7 days of drying, I decided to trim dry this time. It turned out to be somewhat more convenient—everything gets covered in resin anyway, but the remaining leaves easily fall off, speeding up the process. I went for a tight trim, removing as much as possible. During the process, I felt disappointed seeing how little remained on the branches. The buds turned out airy and small, and I started cursing American genetics halfway through the trim. However, when it came to weighing, the results were surprisingly decent. Considering the buds' poor appearance, they’re not going to impress anyone visually, so it might have been easier to shred everything and use it for extraction. I don’t have extraction equipment, so I’ll make cannabutter from the trim, and the buds can rest in jars for now. Takeaways: Use a proper hygrometer for humidity control, not built-in sensors on humidifiers or dehumidifiers. Overdried buds can be easily rehydrated with citrus peel. Daily burping and rotation are sufficient for curing without humidity packs. Dry trimming can be faster and more convenient but may highlight issues with bud density. Despite underwhelming appearance, high resin content makes the strain great for extraction.

This weeks update is just basically a photo/video dump! At the start of the week I did some lst and a tiny bit of defoliating and the growth just seemed to burst, I noticed they seemed to began to flower! So I went ahead and introduced the net to the set up and the I’m stoked with the way they filled this tent right out!! These cream manderin are truly fast growing buds. I also started adding Big Buds Liquid to the feeding schedule and so far, so good. At this point I’ll just be uploading photos every Tuesday/Wednesday 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Lamps: Mars Hydro TS 1000

Day 79: 1,5 L water +2 ml/atazyme Day 81: 1,5 L water + 2ml/atazyme Plants are not ready yet, gonna wait 5 more days and lets see how it goes. Temperatures so high these days, doing my best keeping the room cooler, hope its alright. Day 84: 1,5 L + ml/l atazyme

Final flush this week and start the ripen feed

Se instaló malla scrog, first time. Se riega foliar con delta 9. Entrando a floracion. Se accidentó una glueberry que mantenia un alambre en su tallo, el sustrato se seco demasiado y el tallo cedió. Quedaron buenos brazos restante por lo tanto será interesante ver el desarrolla de esa planta versus sus hermanas. Primera semana de LSD-25

Well week 7 has started and 1 full week into 12-12. This time of year is perfect for winter time flowering. Basha is 26" Steffa is 36" and Wandzia is 27" so I average the height at 30". I think they look pretty damn good for 50 days old, lol. These ladies are currently taking in a gallon a piece every two days now, different from last grow. Also I've been bottom feeding these girls. That's about it for now. Happy Growing Everyone ✌️❤️😁🍀🎶👽 EB

Changed Wednesday

🔥🍦

Buenos terpenos y buena cosecha. Pura fragancia y deliciosos terpenos en una galleta de 93g. Tengo que ver algunas cosas ya que siempre hay algo que mejorar. En breve pondré en marcha unos seguimientos nuevos y a ver si pongo en practica las mejoras. Un gran abrazo gente. Hasta la próxima

Patience my friends, patience. At the point monitoring my plants closely for caterpillars or any insect that will effect this stage of flowering.

Considering this the official first week of flower. Had light timer issues again smh, but got it fixed again. Plants doing great! Weakened led because the plant is growing right into it almost. Hoping she’s done stretching. Watered with week 7 Nutes @50%. Temp min 67 max 77 Fahrenheit Rh min 33% max 42% may need trellis to keep her from snapping when flowering. Still debating.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of veg. The plants are doing good and growing well. They are up to about 600 ppm when I water them Did the rub test on them and was slapped in the face with a strong cat pee smell with a hint of citrus. The smell will change as they grow, but I thought if was humorous. Started a new underground comic for your enjoyment. It's Weirdo #13 printed in 1993. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

preflower on Day 33

Inizio Terza settimana di fioritura 💪🕉️💚.. tutto procede come deve .sono sicurissimo che questa layer cake, sarà fantastica....perfetta per la mia patologia...la meglio medicina per me

This is the continuation of Everyone in the pool. I got locked out of that Diary. So we will continue here. I will add everything slowly, but we will move on. Things have changed.... surprised, I'm not. It's time to move forward for summer. So I don't really know how this will work. But it will work out. So everything looks super happy. Even Groot... *Citrus Farmer girls are going crazy. One has the stalk of a weight lifter. Its huge literally huge. Her sister has some beautiful branching. *Sour Fire Kush is also going crazy. Another body builder also. Her branches could support a house. *Strawberry Lemonade is flowering nicely... she is kind of hiding from me. *Fire OG clones have been moved to flower. *Tahoe Kush is still adjusting to being transplanted and moved to flower. 3 more days and they will start to grow. Sometimes it takes about a week to adjust. They were root bound. I am going to be pissed later that I didn't take clones. *Slurricane mother really needs some trimming, or I just need to chop the shit out of her. She is huge. But I need to keep her and my Fire OG mom on the back burner. They are on the life long veg. So I will be adding my summer trees. I think.... Fuck it everyone is going to be here. *Dominion Skunk is up. Need a girl to Love. I sprouted 4 so I pray we have a beautiful girl. And shhh I'm going to put *Blue Monkey down tonight. I will try to sprout 2 of these Girls. They are feminized. One will be a tree. But dont tell, it's bad luck to talk about them until they are up. So I will soak for 24 hours, and then into root riots. On a heat mat in a seed starter dome. So let's continue where we left off.

To start I would like, give big thanks to Royal Queen Seeds ❤️❤️ and @James , ❤️❤️ to try their products one more time #RQSLOVER, also to @marshydrococo2 and Mars Hydro for the FC 3000 and the fan filter kit ❤️❤️ And another thanks for the GD community, for likes, comments, follows. This 2nd F1 strain run was great, Easy and beautiful, very similar with Epsilon 💚 Flower/herbal smeel 👨‍🌾🌲🌲 ⚖️ Wet yield 262g
