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 week has pics from weeks 2 and 3 because I couldn’t edit past weeks and had more photos. Future weeks will be correct) LST is well underway - pulling the main stalks back from the light to keep the canopy flat. The glueberry is growing much larger/faster than the amnesia haze. The glueberry is also showing some copper tips so we may skip the nutrients for the next watering and see how that develops. The glueberry is 20 cm from the light but still no signs of heat stress (from what I can tel) despite the hot weather.

I have placed a recipe for my Nitrigeon Rich Tea Below, I am hoping it really supports the natural organic soil and activates the microbes to help the plants blow up! The plants are starting to develop a nice sweet smell, very fresh! 🗓️ Wednesday 09/07/22 Fed the Sugarbreath the Compost tea on Monday, they are looking great, decided to do defoliation on Tuesday, and the plants are bouncing back and looking amazing! I am going to give them the remainder of the week and decide if to top or just do some LST, the plants are stacking, the internode spacing is very tight, and would like to see how I can open this up. Stay Tuned! 📝 Saturday - 09/10/22 Thursday I topped dressed with the first-time feeding of Dr. Earth Life, watered in with dechlorinated H20, these ladies are really starting to explode! ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 Breeders Notes by VMAN Pink Sugar Breath is a creation of Platinum Kush Breath x Pink Sugar cookies originally Bred by UFO Genetics. Pink Sugar Breath F2 is the second filial Generation that was hunted and creates by Visions. The vigorous cultivar takes 63 to 75 days to flower with various phenotypes. These phenotypes can express terpene profiles ranging from Bakery Dough, Sugar, Og Funk, Fruity, Gas, Dank, Chemical Floor Cleaners, and much more. Expect Purple and Pink Phenotypes to pop up fairly easily. Color starts to show within 7 to 8 days of flower for the purple and pink phenotypes. Green phenotypes have more of an OG Funk/Floor Cleaner presence ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 ╰⊰´🌿 Compost Tea 1 Cups Worm Casting 1 Cups Lobster Compost 1 Cups Home Made Compost 2T Molasses 2 T Alfalfa Meal (DTE) 2 T Kelp Meal (DTE) 1 T Bat Guano (DTE) 1 teaspoon Rootwise Bio Elixir I used a small paint strainer to hold my composts, placing an air stone right in the bag and zip-tie it nice and tight - this allows air bubbles to really agitate the micro matter off of the compost and into your tea I like to mix in the molasses (microbe food) and start my main air stone, the dry amendments and Rootwise can be just measured in the bubbles Keep the temp of the water warm 75F/85F - too cool and the microbes reproduce too slowly and too hot will kill them. I do not delete my teas and let the plant pots dry out slightly before feeding. I try to do this weekly - as we get further into the growth during the flowering stage I will add DTE Seagull Guano increasing the phosphorus. If any questions post up in the comments and will do my best to answer them for you

Ho eseguito una leggera defogliazione nella parte bassa attorno al primo e secondo nodo in modo da dare più potenza e priorità alla parte apicale verso la luce, lei è la più alta del box ed è veramente una signora! Grazie a questo super soil di Dogma Organics avrò un risultato estremamente eccezionale! Non vedo l’ora 😜

22 days of Flower done, all pots have stabilised except the Small Ghost, I don't think it is genetically 'Small' as it's cut is just as vigorous as the other clones. Never recovered as quickly from the lockout as the others I suppose. Now, I will start slowly increasing E/C . How high I go for each plant? We shall find out together. I have begun to lolly-pop the plants, a process I will continue to do right up to flush, If its gonna be larf it's coming off! These plants are a lot taller than I had planned, the lockout and full recovery took longer than I expected, + days lost due to a quest for new coco. It will only cost me time in the end, and with big root systems only feeding 1 .77 sq ft of canopy after thinning, bending etc. It should not hurt my yield. I also realise there will probably be a large, 4 or so week window for these plants finishing, I can open up the space a bit then to help finish late bloomers. (I have a UVB lamp at the ready, to Speed it up at the end.( In more ways than one?) After more bending I will add some doses of silicone over a few days. Help repair the branches that I have Crush Bent. The silicone also toughens up the plants against Insect attack. When using Silicone I dilute before use to prevent precipitation of elements. Day 24 - Maltezerz This plant is most advanced into flower, plenty of resin being produced. Smell is forest fruits and berries first, then Afghan Hash with a distinct chocolate finish. If it keeps a similar flavour profile to the end and has the promised hit of THC, Wow. Orangesicle. This plant is a lot more stretchy than French Cookie parent. (Tangie influence) The smell is powerful and a distinct Orange but a bit on the sharp synthetic side of the profile. Probably change and mellow with maturity. Blue Sherbalato, Tons of resin with a distinct sharp citrus sherbet smell. GTH 1, The smell is complex 'Dirty Lemon floor polish' then Diesel, then underneath a musty mushroom type smell. Not unpleasant, but not that inviting. GTH 2 and 3 Clean fresh lemon scent very pleasant and lifting. GTH 4 This is also dominated by a lemon scent, but different, Sticky Sweet Lemon, like Drizzle Cake, an oily thick heavy lemon aroma. Scotts OG. This is weird, in the morning this plant smells like a custard slice, by lights out, the smell has a tinge of sour milk or yogurt to it . No hint of the Ginger and Spice of the grow phase stem rub! This plant is quite slow out of the blocks and stretched as much as the GTH's. No real resin production up to now. Wedding Cake. Beautiful complex aroma. It smells like a Panattone with a touch of Black Hash underneath. Different to the US cut I have grew before, which was high yielding and very potent but lacked much aroma at any stage.

48 hrs. of dark are up and its time to chop. pots have dried from the last flush. These did not stretch as much as I would have liked I will have to adjust my light better next time and there was a lot of lower development near the media, hence not enough air flow. when I flushed the pots the water level went up to the lower growth on the Think different and the bottom was wet and rotted the bottom half. I did a mild lollypop on them I'm early flower it just was not enough, LESSON LEARNED. Chopped on 2/8/20 whole plant drying low and slow 54% RH 68F for 10-14 days then will trim and jar. 981 grams wet with the lumber. lets see how they dry. I got a rosin press coming today I will squeeze all the trim and larffy buds into dabs yummy! All in all I recommend these genetics I will try the think different again I'm sure I just got a recessive dwarf gene. I have seen other grows of this same strain same breeder that are huge and stacked. thanks again to Fast Buds 420 and Green Buzz Nutrients for suppling the goods for the grow. Stay tuned for the harvest pics and vids along with the rosin squish. Be cool to one another we could really use it these days.👏 please fell free to comment on the grow as this is my first true auto flower grow. If any one out there is experienced with rosin pressing and you have any tips for beginner's let me know I will incorporate them in the next videos. thanks

March 12, Day 71 my Sea Of Green is now a Sea Of Buds 😄 Tomorrow I will collect the three plants closest to the poster that seem to be mature. Next week I will collect the last two gorillas (excluding the two plants with a photoperiod predominance) because they seem to need a little more time. March 13, Day 72: I wanted to make a video or a video to show you the defoliated plants ready to be cut, but when I removed them from the SOG they no longer had the support of the nearby plants and the branches could not support the weight of buds. I'm not complaining, in fact I didn't think I would get such a big harvest. For the same reason I only cut and put to dry two plants, I don't have enough space in my dryer that is only 50x50x120 Centimeters. However, I made a video with Harvest and a video with the new layout of the plants in my SOG. Now in my sea of buds there are three gorillas left, two cheese in advanced bloom and two photoperiodic gorillas and the margin there is a Cheese that has just started to bloom. I realized that I can make only one harvest page for each variety, I thought it was possible to create one for each plant, so I will edit the diary for the final harvest, when I will also collect the last three gorillas in my secret garden. Thanks to everyone for the views and likes 😉

con 64 dias y viendo el estado de los tricomas diría que voy a empezar a regar con agua sola , unas 3 veces más en el que añadiré en el riego Dos de acido cítrico por uno acido ascórbico y en 7 -10 dias cosecharé.

Updated the official lab result for this specific plant... thank you spliffseeds, its great to know what youre smoking... Its amazing how a 55 cm plant can yield 120+ grams of dank dry buds, important here was the training and filling the cannopy, scrog net would help me in terms of supporting her coz as you see on pics i harvested her after 3 days of no liquid and she just fell down coz buds were to heavy... and throughout the process i had problems with holding branches in one piece lol so i had to do all the funny bondages with green wire, sadly i dont have pics coz i couldn make a clear photo of how and what did i connect together.

I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.
