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.

Season 2 is officially underway and so excited for this grow. Growing 4 plants, but space is a lil limited. Growing in an 80x80cm so using small pots. 2x 8l and then 1x 5l and 1x 4.7l (if you wanna be exact lol). This time I decided to experiment a bit. I'm testing 2 different soils, both in 8l pots, both Purple Punch Auto by Fastbuds, both in airpots. Their names are Lily and Robin. Also testing fabric bags against airpots. Both in same soil, both in 5l pots, both Wild Dwarf Auto by Bulk Seed Bank (that was the plan but now it's 1 WD and another Purple Punch). Their names are Jess and Cece. For this one, Jess, had the seed in water for a few hours and then into soil in 5l fabric pot. The seed shell was holding on for its life when it popped up and I had to give it some motivation so hopefully she recovers well.

Hello everybody 👋🏻 today full moon 🌕. I put the seed in a tupper on top of the router where it gives a good temperature😊. I will put the led at half power (400W) during vegetation and at full power (800W) in flowering Royal Dwarf This variety, which removes the genetics of the first autoflowering plants, is reaffirmed in the sector as a plant of the most interesting. Dwarft genetics comes from the crossing of 2 very specific indications that transmit its main characteristics. RQS crossed a Dwarft with a feminized Skunk to obtain the Royal Dwarft. Finally, he crossed the result with his autoflowering predecessor to stabilize this characteristic. With a maximum height of around 50 cm, and a little branched structure, it becomes a compact and vigorous plant, perfect to cultivate in small spaces, discreetly. With a maximum production of 40g per plant, and notorious for being the most productive genetics of Royal Queen Seeds, it will be a variety of the pleasure of the most impatient growers, being able to achieve an interesting harvest volume without having to wait for a whole harvest cycle . We are talking about a marijuana genetics with a sweet but aromatic taste, and really strong in intensity. The taste picks up the bottom of the Dwarft part, but with the nuances of the Skunk marijuana variety. As for the effect, we will obtain the mental clarity and the socializing effect of the Skunk with a pleasant physical effect coming from the indica part. Of moderate power, it seems a boil recommended for day to day. THC: 13% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 150 - 200 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 30 - 80 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 50 - 90 cm Flowering time: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest Month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Skunk x Ruderalis Type: Sativa 60% Indica 10% Ruderalis 30% Effect: A motivating and inspiring feeling Flavor: Citrus, Sweet Climate: Cold Bio Tabs Now fertilizing your plants will be much easier; we only have to add the Bio Tabs and the other components that are included directly in the pot when we plant, and the rest of the crop will only add water to our pots. In the middle of the crop you have to apply an irrigation with Orgratrex and Bactrex to reinforce the biological activity and that's it. We will have plants as always, the most productive and tasty, totally organic and without having to worry about excess nutrients or fertilize them. Dosage and how to use the Starter Pack of Bio Tabs step by step: Fill our pots to about 3/4 and add 3g of Mycotrex for each pot, no matter the size. More or less are 3 tablespoons of coffee rasas. Then we add another 25g of Startrex (which comes to be 2 tablespoons) every 5L of soil, so if we have 10L of pot then 50g and so progressively. We stir well to mix with our substrate and just fill the pot of earth. Then we make the hole to transplant our plant to the final pot, and in that hole you have to throw another 2g of MycoTrex into the hole itself and we can now transplant our plants. Then we have to add your Bio Tabs tablets, every 5L of earth a tablet on the substrate, if we have 10L then two tablets ... You have to bury them closer to the edge of the pot than in the center. They are buried about 5 cm deep in the substrate and we will have our plants fertilized for weeks. We make a mixture with the last component that remains when we plant, Bactrex. Add 1g to a liter of water and give the first watering with that mixture. From now on, you only have to water with water until the 5th week. At the 5th week, we will have to contribute a new help to our plants, we will add 20ml of Orgatrex and 1g of Bactrex in 500ml of water and stir well. Water only with that half a liter a plant and only once. Add water until the end of the crop, that's that easy.😋👏🏻👏🏻 Biobizz light mix With Light Mix of BioBizz we will be 100% sure of having bought one of the best lands available for your seeds. Saving on the ground is one of the worst mistakes we can make, since we are starting a job that the final result is to seek the highest quality and production. To think that is where the plant will have to live all its days of life so it will have to be of the best possible quality. With Light Mix you will have an excellent substrate, as each land has a different formula and composition, we will find out who will best resist this substrate, according to the climatic conditions where we are going to plant. It is characterized by its high proportion of water / oxygen retention, this soil pulls more towards water retention so it will be perfect for all those who live in warmer areas avoiding having to water the pots so often, it retains a lot of humidity. We will have to be careful with the first days of our plants so as not to soil the land too much, otherwise the roots will not shoot as they should and you could even drown your plants, this advice is worth all the autoflowering genetics that are more sensitive to root problems and excess irrigation. This sack of earth comes very light of nutrients, so this substrate should provide practically nutrients in all phases of the crop from the second week. Composition: Peat moss Perlite Ec: 1.2 Ph: 6.2

Hello folks Havest Day 64 of flowering ( Life cycle 99 days ) Drying with 62% RH--18/21°C since 10 Days Now everything is in jar and in a week or more, I would add my little boveda pack 62% for a good storage Overall everything went well ! The Moby Dick 1 give me 115g of dry buds The Moby Dick 2 give me 97g A very good weight with 400w, really impressive,and look at these colas😵💪 The taste is good but not my favourite, i dont like the haze aftertaste I think ,1 month curing will improve that 👌 Thanks to all who comment / like either to encourage or give advice GD community are The Best 🙏😻 see you soon guys 😘 Peace Love and Weed00

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions! Pour préparer votre solution, dans votre réservoir ou arrosoir : Mettre en premier la base (Iguana) Ensuite Ancient Earth Et enfin les bactéries ASSUREZ-VOUS D'UTILISER UNE EAU DE BONNE QUALITE (EC < 0,2) POUR DE MEILLEURS RESULTATS. J'utilise un substrat non enrichi pour permettre le meilleur départ à mes plantes. Il s'agit du Promix de Plagron, il a une EC proche de 0, c'est pour cette raison que je commence les engrais assez fort dès le début. Les plantes sont très gourmande sous LED haute intensité et l'enracinement est rapide. J'arrose tous les 3 jours environ avec 2 arrosages à l'engrais et 1 à l'eau par semaine. Je n'attend pas que le substrat sèche complétement sinon ça réduit l'efficacité de l'arrosage, ça détruit la faune et éventuellement facilite la cristallisation des minéraux. Au niveau du volume d'arrosage, il faut prendre en compte 1/3 de la taille du pot. Pour un pot de 1L je vais donc arroser environ 300ml. Pour un Pot de 10L je vais arroser environ 3L. Il est important d'arroser doucement pour éviter que l'eau ne coule tout de suite au fond. Il est important d'avoir au moins 15% de drain pour s'assurer d'évacuer tous les nutriments non consommé et faire la place aux nouveaux. IL EST PRIMORDIALE D'EVACUER L'EAU AU FOND DES COUPELLES, c'est une eau qui est chargée en nutriments non consommé et on ne veut pas qu'elle remonte dans les pots car cela risquerait de créer des blocages. Au niveau de la technique de taille de formation, je réalise tout de suite une FIM que je reproduirai dès que l'apex aura repoussé. La première FIM est la plus longue mais les suivantes sont très rapide car la plante s'habitue à la technique et cela la stress beaucoup moins. En général il faut reproduire la FIM tous les 3 à 4 jours en fonction de la vigueur. C'est une technique très facile à mettre en œuvre et ne demande aucun matériel. C'est aussi la plus rapide pour obtenir des buissons. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions concernant la FIM! Je retire également les feuilles supérieur (pas toute pour éviter de ralentir la plante) qui cache les secondaires pour augmenter l'efficacité de la FIM sur la croissance des secondaires.

Esta semana aplique la tecnica lst. Hubiera preferido hacerlo antes pero estaba esperando por que antes queria trasplantarlas. Pero no he podido comprar macetas, ni el medio de cultivo. Entonces decidi hacerlo en las macetas actuales para comenzar a guiar la planta, ya que va creciendo muy rapido. Junto con la tecnica lst tambien hice defoliacion a todas las plantas. Comence a regar con fertilizante en polvo Green House para la etapa de vegetacion. Uso 0.5g / 1L . Ocupo unos 2L para regar cada planta.

PATIENCE, cooler temps and straight water for 2 weeks, girls smell sweeter each time I have a look inside. getting close to $60 for 2 complete grows with my SF 2000. my next grow I will factor in all costs from dirt, seeds to all electricity and nutrients. Some amber showing, won’t be too much longer I’m ready but the girls have other plans apparently, so I wait...waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun.... 2/28/21. .... well shit, the girls won't be ready together, which means I will need to use another tent to start drying. my place will be packed up in boxes ready for the movers except for a drying tent for the kush...its gonna be close. Later that day... one plant harvested at 1.4lbs wet (22.5 oz) Life is good

The Dwarf has definitely strong genetics. I recommend it for newbies that don’t have a lot of money to spend on growing kits. Yet, I wish I could have grown her under better lights (75W is CLEARLY not enough). I’m sure that the yield would have been a lot bigger with great lights. But it was a great grow : this dwarf convinced me to continue ! I’ve chosen seeds with bigger yield potential for the upcoming months (Blackberry and Gorilla Glue from Fast Buds). Good luck and thanks a lot to this community. Keep growing (and destroy capitalism) 🍁000

- Heavy defoliation to canopy twice this week, got rid of all large fan leaves to send energy to buds - Light defoliation every other day Plants are profiled nicely, many buds throughout now. Some of the hairs on the Lemon Ice buds are starting to turn orange. Adding the dehumidifier and extra 6" fan seems to have solved the humidity issue. Plants drank a lot of water this week, I will monitor more closely next week and add some water throughout to help keep pH balanced. The stem I folded over last week seems to have recovered fine and is now laying horizontal across trellis, accidental super cropping.

Ciao a tutti! Settimana spettacolare! I fiori sono veramente raddoppiati, non ho mai avuto tutto questo profumo che mi invade letteralmente tutta casa e oltre, veramente uno spettacolo, dolcissimo, fruttato! 😂🤣 non sono mai riuscito ad ottenere tutti questi tricomi e terpeni vari, non vedo l'ora di raccogliere! Ancora una settimana / 10 giorni di acqua fertilizzata poi penserò al flush! 20 giorni scarsi e ci siamo 🤩🤩🤩🍀🍀🍀😎😎😎💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

She's starting to fatten up nicely! Terps still off the meter,and the roots are ridiculous. Definitely one of the best plants I've ever grown.
