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.

Las hojas están con manchas, creo que fue a causa del último riego con nutrientes, no fui cuidadoso y llegó de esa agua a las hojas... A causa de eso también quiero prevenir una sobrefertilización y está semana he decidido no regar con nutrientes, sólo con Bio up para subir un poco el pH del agua... A pesar de las hojas con manchas creo que van bien con el crecimiento teniendo en cuenta que esta es sólo mi segunda experiencia cultivando. Se me olvidaba mencionar que las pasé a su nuevo hogar esperando un mejor desarrollo para ellas

Still waiting for this girl to find her stride, she's filling out slowly but surely. Sprayed with some Neem Oil to thwart the bugs and will water in some Big bloom and Molasses later. Grow Baby Grow🙏!

You can find tbe first week of all girls on my profile, second week is missing coz its just boring and now i start week 3 so its day 15 today from placing seeds to germination. Uploaded a video of their habitat, i still wont name each one indifidually coz i still didnt choose winners / keepers. Unfortunatelly i have a bit low RH for this stage of growth but they obviously dont mind, i spray them twice a day, no burns from spraying with lights on, no electroshocks caused by spraying so all good now. I tried it all enough to be able to say i cant be assed anymore :D Since @growdiaries are not keen on resolving a problem with uploading each pic individually on androids, i will keep one diary for all girls, dont even mind not being able to compete in dom. Stay tuned these girls will rock.

Going to let her sit in darkness for a day or two and giving it one good flush with some cold water. She is about 15% amber. Sorry these pic suck— I broke my iPhone 8 which takes way better pictures than the new 13 pro. Go figure! So these are a touch grainy. The smells coming off this plant are amazing and unique—- like a soapy candy funk. I never grew anything quite like it. I have 3 more seeds and I am going to have to pop them for sure. Not too happy with how this plant grew ultra short without any stretch at all, but I only grew one out. Buds are nice and dense so it has a lot of potential. Chopping in a few!

Looks of frost developing and loads of purple showing. Starting to pack on the mass. Been drinking up 1.2 gallons of water every 2 days now. Major defoliation this week to trim back all the extra leaves. Compost tea was made and added Cultured Biologix EZ Tea Bloom to it. This plant has had zero issues this far and is really trucking along.

I was growing in closets with the doors open - not a very sealed or sterile environment. I saw some dirt/debris on the leaves so I gave them all a preemptive bath with insecticidal soap just in case it was an early sign of an infestation

And we have arrived at the magic moment for our autoflowering plants, the Zamnesia elves are working their magic and the buds are composing and freezing in the night. A scent of paradise now invades my house. --- This time as often happens lately we have to take our hats off and make a big bow to the Zamnesia breeders: this strain is a great success. A classic that those who have smoked it and known it well know, a true Dutch classic that revisited by Zamnesia in the F1 Hybrid version is exceptional. I have two superfast plants, one of which I could harvest today on day 52 but I'm waiting until day 60 out of shame for doing it too early. The other one is very large and full of flowers and takes a week longer to finish but because it has put on an incredible amount of flower in such a short time. We are about to harvest the first crop of the legendary #Croptober and it will be from the smaller of the two Blue Cheese F1 Hybrids. I took the liberty of taking out a very small sugar leave to show you the potential of my new macro kit we have a nice series of magnifying 50x, the first photos ever taken with a new equipment I think we will see some beautiful ones. ---- Fertilization program - I usually try to blend the fertilizer but with these plants that finish as fast as the wind it is difficult to blend and if you detach you have immediately deficiencies and in flowering it is not nice. So you find yourself pumping fertilizer and the plant risks arriving slightly loaded as happened to me now but keep kalm, the small one has already been flushed twice with 20 liters of water and is lightening and the large one has now that it is taking color the time to blend I hope without going into deficiency I would like to see the yellow in a natural way. ---- https://plagron.com/it - Alga Bloom - 2 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l - Power Buds - 1 ml/l - Green Sensation - 1 ml/l --- The dehumidifier now works between 50% and 55% --- You can find the 100% Organic Plagron package on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easypack-natural .html // Strain Description // What happens when three famous strains come together?

Eh estado desconectado pero aquí va algo más de estas nenas, aun las tengo en periodo de vegetación. Lo que si esta semana logramos instalar la carpa correspondiente para estas nenas así que estamos esperando a llenar la carpa y poder pasar a floración. La estructura habla por si sola, aun no le hago amarres correspondientes ya que estoy esperando que me lleguen los soportes y poder darle más vigor del que ya tiene con el apoyo. Estamos probando cannaboost via folear 3 veces por día 2 ml x litro. lo vamos a utilizar hasta el día 21 de floración y comenzamos vía riego. quiero comprobar diferencias ya que todos mis cultivos tengo que probar alguna cosa nueva ya sea estilo de alimentación o lo que sea. Siempre dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda me pueden encontrar en instagram @chocolopeison Saludos
