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.

Just started week 3. She was given to me from a good friend, I started without a tent and without a decent lamp. Just more for fun but fell in love again, so it got serious fast haha🤑😮‍💨 When I convinced my girlfriend I started buying sweet stuff!!🤗🤔🤪 Started to buy a tent, lamp, extractor and small fan! This was still in the growth phase (end). When I got the tent and other stuff I put her on 12/12. But unfortunately she has been under a lot of stress so she has fallen behind a bit. But she's going okay now that she's in a stable environment. Can't wait to start a new grow but then the whole process from a seed to a beautiful plant. All credits to XII_XII_MrGreen big tnx mate!!

Day 29. Best from all but very sensitive to nitrogen, pot is still full and as she takes over all of it , she constantly have few overdose issues. Very responsive to leaf tucking , stem twisting, forms nice canopy, will be biggest producer no doubts in this run. Will try to bend main stem with some LST in few days. Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ... Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot. Day 31. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too. Day 33. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must. Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ... Happy Growing !!!

She's starting to fade out now, and budding up nicely. Not seeing much purple coming through yet. She's getting nice and fat and smelly now. Trying out a macro lens thingy.

Day 64 really finishing up nicely, she is very thick The ripening blend is doing its job, the leafs are starting their fade a bit This strain loves DWC, super fast growth and development, thanks @Fast_Buds Day 65 smooth and steady, she is up to drinking 6L a day now buds are covered in trichomes Day 66 trichomes are looking 90% white all over the side buds continues to amaze me daily, with the 6L drinking the buds are swelling up, i see a few pistils tips starting to turn pink keeping the temps and the humidity low, 40% humidity Day 67 temps low, 21, 40% humidity is causing massive terpene development, the buds are pouring out resin captured a photo while lights were off Day 68 She is finishing up nicely, changed the DWC for fresh ripening blend, this will be the last pool for the lady The pistils are about 30% brown, trichomes are all white all over. Maybe 2-3 days left. Day 69 The buds are maturing fast, we are in the harvest window. The colas are rock solid, and they are the most sticky ive ever grown from autoflower. Pistils are about 50% pink/orange/brown - trichomes are all white, not seeing any clear. adjusting to lights on 24x7, temperature is low, 20 degrees and ive got the humidity about 45% - time to overdrive and preserve terpenes with the low temps. easy for low temps here, its already -4 outside, my metal air intake hose is very cold drawing in air from outside. Will likely chop the plant tomorrow or the next day, looking to be about perfect - these are next level genetics Uploaded a video Day 70 Finishing another week strong, she will likely be cut tomorrow, pistils about 50% pink orange brown she is enjoying the 24/7 light and cold temps, the buds are getting more covered in resin glands/trichomes

They are stretching almost out of control. The lights are at their max height without modifying the hanging mechanisms, which I will definitely have to do. They still have another solid week of stretch yet. Besides that they seem fairly healthy. The runt (1/4) drinks a little more slowly than the others.

Day 49 and moving along. Wanting to run these 21 more days max, the Jedi cookies I think I can take to that point but one of the CBD crack might be done sooner. Other than that things are chill, wanting to see some bud growth this week.

Hey Family. These 3 finally got the chop and wow where they gorgeous. The sweet smell and red haired coated flowers came out perfectly. The flowers and the perfect density and have a spicy yet earthiness smell to them. Over all an easy strain to grow and a fun one to watch.

Good evening my fellow growers! So, another Thursday night comes, meaning another week starts in this diary😎 As a balance from last week, I'd like to underline the beginning of LST and defoliation applied in the plant, so far with success. Had a little struggle with RH and temps, by getting the lights a little too close from the plants. Lesson learnt and problem solved! Day 29 4/6 - #1 - Love to push her around! Not sure who's enjoying it more, if me or the plant. Looks happy with all the twists, and I believe this will be the last week of veg. 10 day tops I'd say. She's a heavy drinker for the size, and loves some good misting before turning the lights on. Moving the light even upper, brought me lower temps and higher RH: Temps from 24c to 20c, and RH from 40% to 50%. Much better. Here's also a video from the grow, how everything looks today during lights off period. Enjoy! Day 30 5/6 - #1 today was just another day of growth. Actually apart from observing it during the day, haven't done really anything to it. Looks like has enough water still, looks like the branches are coming out nice and evenly, covering for now the surface of the pot. Today also started to feel her stink. Finally! This only indicates me she's getting ready to flower very, very soon. In the tent, today was the best 'weather' ever, I'm super happy with that 😅 Temps were between 18 off and 25 on, RH between 73% off and 40% on. Day 31 6/6 - #1 today's her first month, since dropped in the water. Wohoo! 😎 Had another look to her, make sure all branches are looking good, with proper exposure and re-tied it again here and there to adjust her and make her even on top. Removed a few more leaves on the way and it's looking great! Had a big time watering (with nutrients), a little over a liter and was also mist in all foliage before lights going on. Temps were very good again! Rh with 79% max and 52% min and temps from 25 to 17. Nice uh? 😎 Day 32 7/6 - #1 So, after the 1st month anniversary celebrations (ahah), today was training and defoliation day. Between today and tomorrow will do quite a defoliation as she's giving signs of starting flowering stage very soon. When it comes to the plant, I rearranged her first a bit to optimize the light exposure in all budsites, then leaves down. For the first time in this plant, I fed her plain tap water, with a 6.4 ph. Tried to simulate a rainy day as much as possible by misting her and the medium. I like to give her a flush in between stages, when changing to flowering nutrients. Temps as stable inside with 16 min and 26 max. RH from 52% to 76% Day 33 8/6 - #1 What a nice reaction she had from last night training and defoliation! She went upwards and looks so much better. You can tell she's stretching now and showing some little pistils. After having a look around, just took the rest of the leaves I'd planned to and she's finally ready to flower. Even her scent is getting stronger, a very nice tropical/mango/passion fruit kick when the tent is opened. What a delight!😎 Today I'll give her a light feed again, to get this lady back on track and will wait for another day to come. It's very nice to observe the strecthing phase, as you can see them growing almost by the hour eheh Temps today were 29 max, 21 min and RH from 71% to 39% (values are higher today as I let the humidifier empty for a couple hours) Day 34 9/6 - #1 She's full on stretching, in 48h grew more than 10cm, which I find incredible. I did a few more touches on the branches, now is the time to make them ready and give all the light they need in every bit of them. Today she didn't smell so much, like yesterday, but I'm sure she's focusing on growing delicious bud right now. Can't wait to have a taste of it 😄 No watering today, going to save that for the morning. I'll just give her a light mist to keep things fresh and humid in the grow. Tomorrow is the last day of this week, and I'm planning to start with flowering schedule and nutrients from tomorrow. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 18c 76% - 41% Day 35 10/6 - General: This lady continues growing at a very nice rhythm. She's opening all her arms to light and I foresee a good flowering stage. Techniques: After observing her under the lights, decided to remove some more leaves to maximise exposure. All light is needed right now. Feeding: Good watering, almost 1.5l with balanced ph water, and started introducing flowering nutrients, at a very small scale, and went up 0.5ml on the grow nutrients. let's see what happens, but as I write, lights went up again for 4 hours and they look great, showing no signs of stress on anything like it. Smell: Still getting there, it's more intense inside the tent under the lights, a light breeze comes from her, but nothing compared to the power of her younger sister #3 from the other grow diary I'm writing. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 18c 60% - 37% And that's it! This week is done, tomorrow we start a new one, which I'll consider the first of the flowering period. This was a very exciting week where the results of the LST started to show a little more and better, did a heavy defoliation during the week, and saw her growing a lot. I'm impressed with that and curious to see the next coming days and weeks until she stops growing to produce more of the fat buds we love. That's all, see you tomorrow!

Week 11, D71 Flower Day 41. She's super frosty. And very sticky and sticky. Smells of fresh cut strawberries and a light musky sweet earthy smell. Not a whole lot of bud, but what's there is tops by the looks of it. I'm hoping this is going to be the A grade bud I've been looking for. Plant has been thrown into soft flush. Been given terra powers finisher. 1ml/L 150 ppm and ph + adjusted to 6.7. Should of just let it grow normal. Lessons learnt. But overall I'm very happy with the results, all a bit lacking but frosty and smells stawlishes. COUPON CODE FOR MARS!! Use Code GGS to get a small discount at any marshydro site. Thanks to everyone who followed and commented. It's been a fun grow. Little bit of light nutrient burn other than that, I've had 0 problems. Not 1 def, standing tall since she's in the ground. Even though she wasn't let grow o'natural I've seen what I can get, 1 main top cola and smaller colas on the side instead of 50-70cm small plants. Hopefully I'll get 50-70cm nodes with a big ass frosty cola on my next run, and then I'll be able to say for sure, that topping isn't the way to go with autos. As I've topped every single 1 I've grown and the tallest plant I could get was 90cm. Either it's the topping or not grown to its peak performance. HARVEST DAY. She's frosty. I've seen more frosty SG but I'm happy with this with how I crippled her growth. But in stunning her height I do think I've made for some A grade Bud up top. There is some airy bud at the very end. But she's the most potent FB have, so I'm expecting 🔥. Thanks for reading, be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows my friends. Either way, thanks for dropping by. gottagrowsometime

Hola asi vamos con las niñas en esta semana , muy contento con el resultado visual que se esta viendo en el cultivo , las plantas están muy resinosas con un aroma muy rico de oler. Ya paramos la fertilización para empezar solamente con agua hasta sus días finales , no se ocupara ningún aditivo de limpiador de minerales , esperamos que consumas sus reservas estas semanas y así obtener el amarilleo final 👌 Hello, so we go with the girls this week, very happy with the visual result that is being seen in the crop, the plants are very resinous with a very rich smell of smell. We already stop fertilization to start only with water until its final days, no mineral cleaner additive will be used, we hope you consume your reserves these weeks and thus obtain the final yellowing👌

Cette semaine à était très riche en engrais naturelle et en eau !!!! *Fumier de vache pour les différents apport qu'ajoute cet engrais au fil du temps , *Marc de café , *Purin d'ortie , *Peau de banane *Cendre de bois Arrosage tous les jours en petites quantités pour aider à assimiler tous les apports donné Et voilà que c'est demoiselle ont pris un coup de speed pour la poussée , obligé de continuer le palissage encore à ce stade... Ça grandit , ça grandit !! Nous sommes fin Juillet , je suis dans l'attente que les jours réduisent pour le passage en floraison naturel grasse à la nuit... Je ne sais pas si je dois procéder à une grosse défoliation pour les feuilles du dessous sur le principe d'un "Lollipopping" , qu'en dites vous ?? Des avis ? Des questions ? Des choses à dire ? C'est toujours intéressant de discuter sur les différents mode de culture !!

these buds have sat out for a few days be4 being trimmed completely and jarred.. i will continue to burp them daily for a few weeks and then test a bud or 5.. the smell of this stuff is truly amazing and i can not wait to pack it in the bong
