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.

11March (VegDay24) Start of week 4 of Veg and with some minor defoliation on both girls, going to stabilize PH at 5.8/6.0 in the coming days. the girls are having 1lt each every 24h RR1 looks like she could do some more so I will start doing 1.2lt for her and keep RR2 at 1lt. 12March (vegDay25) Din some more LST on RR1 and took off 2 big fan leaves also RR2 have some more LST and small defoliation. 13March (vegDay26) increased watering for RR1 to1.5lt also increase nuts and stabilized PH at 6. 14March (vegday27) increased amount of water for both girls today and got a decent amount of runoff! slightly increased a bit more the nuts for one last time before the addition of bloom nuts end of this week. both girls continue to stretch and look healthy. RR1 50cm+3cm RR2 41cm+7cm 15March (Vegday28) as of today, bud candy of AN is part of the team as from now PH is steady and plats look amazing! 17March start of pre-flowering both girls have heavy signs of buds, will mix both grow and bloom nut as from this feed.

Consider 14 weeks the flowering process itself at when i report i cut it also forced me to do the taste to something too fresh - ? So Consider this a final thoughts post as i wanted to show i slashed them,all at once as i was noticed that were on their limits on time range for a balace between not over ripe the g13 and not let mature enough santa bilbo chamos , it can be very easy to reveal what where each one as they were fuck very stable between them, that uniformity com from very stable bank indeed so fuck i eager to report & fly on some old school shit itself , and shit, this is fuck a sativa and indica differences so clear and by their own simple yet remarcable smell punch from dope lemon demon & sweet og hash ou that are refining from what stated last week & outperforming my own personal previous growof them personal SUCESS & SOPA DE MACACO & BIG GAS LEAKS N BIG DICK ENERGY 👌 . STILL A LOT TO IMPROVE HOMIES & I WILL DERIVE TO OTHER GROW TRY / FAIL / REPEAT & REPORT AF AS I CAN BE FOND OF THIS TIPE OF JOURNAL as on my time, were useful when searching from some previous insight on some grow experiment , or smoke reference as well, every shit can help even and sweet bless of autotranslate as well !

Okay soo the BCN xxls are so far my favourite in the tent. They are just growing soo quick and lovely. Number #3 and #1 has doubled its size within the week. And #2 has just stayed the sAme height but it was the first to pre flower. They have a nice skunky greeny smell to it. These plants have not been low stress strained or topped, and it does a great job growing naturally. Bloom fertilers are now applied until 1-2 weeks before harvest! One love!

Day 78 Hey growmies, The girls received 2 liters of water with fertilizer and Cal-Mag today. Before that, I defoliated them for the last time – I hope it wasn’t too much, but I wanted to try a more radical approach to hopefully get an even better end result. Unfortunately, some of the Pink Gelato's leaves are showing clear signs of heat stress, but so far she’s still growing well. I hope the terpenes are okay. Day 79 The girls are doing well so far. Unfortunately, the tips of the Pink Gelato are a bit burned, and it's supposed to get even hotter in the next few days. I hope she survives the heat. The other two ladies don’t seem to mind it. The smell and the buds are getting bigger and bigger. The carbon filter is managing to neutralize the strong smell. Now we're heading into the final days of flowering Day 80 Today, the plants received 2 liters of water with fertilizer and Cal-Mag. Unfortunately, it's still too hot. You can see that the Pink Gelato is struggling with the heat. The other two girls are handling it better. I've now set the lamp to 90% and raised it by 10 cm since we're slowly approaching the final stage. Day 82: Today I watered all three plants with 2 liters of water, including nutrients and Cal-Mag. The weather has cooled down a bit, and the ladies are smelling wonderful. I set the light to 100% and raised it slightly. Day 84: Today, the plants were watered with 2 liters of water, along with fertilizer and Cal-Mag. Unfortunately, the Pink Gelato is currently not absorbing any water, so it was not watered. The heat is really affecting it, and I believe mold has developed in and on the soil. I’ve heard that cinnamon can help, so I sprinkled a thin layer of it on the soil. I also set the lamp to 100% and raised it a bit. I think keeping the humidity high to counter the heat wasn’t a good idea — that’s probably what caused the mold to form on the soil.

Ya se han notado un monton de avances en cuanto a maduracion de flores, se ha tomado la decesion de esperar a secar las 4 plantas al mismo tiempo por motivos de espacios. 4 plantas con lavado de raices, se lograra el objetivo de 50 g por planta ? +se ha perdido parte de la visualizacion del seguimiento por tiempo personal.

Auto Purple Hulk Auto by MSNL Outside 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W5F1 The weather was rainy with thunderstorms early in the week becoming hot, humid and overcast. I only got to fertilize once this week but with the super soil she doesn’t show any deficiencies. I fertilized with I49 grow 1 tbsp/gal & 2 tbsp I49 Flower. I added this more as a preventive measure since I’m seeing issues with AK-47xl also outside in super soil. With the extreme heat and rain, my purple hulk is a HULK. She almost doubled height (grew 15 inches) this week and is now 33 inches tall and starting flower. She demonstrates resistance to fungal diseases and bug damage. In the background noise on the video is Cicadas. When they hatch, they crawl onto a tree or plant and molt. The adult has wings. This is the empty body casing. This year there are some but not a lot as in many years of their 17-year cycle. As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

November 6, 2021 The Quick Critical is taking off!!! I started feeding some nutrients this week and she really seemed to like it. I could flip her to flower now, but I'm going to wait another 1-2 weeks so the other two ladies can veg longer (and to give the autos a chance to finish). Critical Sour looks like she is ready to start rocking, I expect to see significant growth this upcoming week. CBD Medi Kush is finally starting to look like a cannabis plant! I have no idea what caused the delayed growth in the initial couple of weeks, but she's seems on track now. Lots of good growth in the past couple of days. This morning when looking at her closely I noticed she is growing two stems. This is going to be fun to watch how she develops. I just hope she doesn't herm out later. Neither of the two Dr Bruce Banner seeds nor the one CBD Lemon Aid seed I tried planting ever popped. This is now a 3 plant diary.
