Two plants harvested, dried, trimmed and curing. Both GG4 auto. 7 oz in total. Super happy for my first grow. Buds look, smoke and taste pretty good. Nice balanced high.
Onto the next grow in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for all new mistakes and shenanigans.

So fucking excited.... tested a popcorn nug that's been drying 7 days now. She smoked surprisingly smooth. Glad I pulled her a little early with all milky and about 10-15% amber. Relaxing high but not total couch lock. Two hits and I felt pretty good. My husband, daily smoker, took three or four good hits and visited another planet. He approved. 🫠

All I'm saying is you want minimal air movement. 1 up from no air movement.

I'm not sure I understand. I have two tents in a room within my finished basement. The room is not finished so the ceiling is open and floor is concrete but it is temp controlled from the HVAC for the whole house. I have my big grow tent with 6' carbon filter located outside the tent pushing air in and 4" exhaust pulling air out, and this is pumping the air outside via a radon mitigation system, also located outside the tent. Both are attached to the ceiling rafters outside the tent. My other small tent is in the same room with a small fan on the lowest setting sitting outside that tent blowing air to the vent. That's too much air? I have two exhaust holes open and an ACInfinity humidifier sitting outside the tent pumping moisture in set at 57. Obviously I can increase the RH quite easy. So the lung would be the overall room but not sure how that's significant?? Open the dry tent door and turn off the fan is what I'm hearing you say?! the humidifier likely won't be able to keep the humidity up where it's been let alone 60. Can you clarify for me?
I have a feeling I need to modify my overall setup??Last edited by HighLife; 11-01-2024, 06:37 AM.

Temps are great. RH aim for 60%.
Your air movement is probably too much. If using a lung room just open the tent door.
Edit. I have always thought ideal was 60⁰F and still aim for that but rarely get that low. 65⁰F Seems to be what I get also. The ideal dry is strain dependent, size and mass dependent, etc but the most important thing is it is done slowly without mold. Too much air movement can dry out buds way too fast even with ideal temps and RH. Too fast equals grass/hay smell.Last edited by Bluey; 10-31-2024, 08:26 PM.

I'm five days into drying. Temp is pretty stable at 65F and RH at 55-58. I can't lower temp any more. Humidity is negotiable. I have a small fan on super low blowing air into the tent from a lower vent and opened the exhaust hole on the back. Definitely smelling like hay. Please tell me that's normal and should fade once fully dried and cured.

Brittle leaves late in flower is not unusual.
From my experience lower temps and a lower EC may help with that but it may be strain dependent or an earlier minor deficiency showing up.
My sativas are prone to it but I have had no issues with that with a couple of different strains grown more recently.

She's drying 4 days now and looking pretty good. I'll certainly update when I see how the smoke and high is.
Her sister is still in the grow tent. Question ... Is it normal for the leaves to get kind of brittle/crispy in late flower? Her leaves are green but pretty brittle. Maybe I need to back off on the lights a bit?? Or should've already.

Chopped her down! Maybe 10% amber and the rest milky. We'll see how things turn out. Her sister is still incubating.

Checked the trichs on the buds.... Up top I'd say 20% are amber but down below maybe 5%.

Back left is on a completely different timeline, much much younger plant.
PH going in is 6.6-6.8. Using FF trio but stopped nutes about a week ago to flush since I figured I was couple weeks from harvest which I still think is right since I'm seeing some amber just not much. When I was giving nutes it was at half strength. Hindsight and reading tells me, they needed more nutrients but little late now I suppose.
Only three plants in there. The back right appears healthy to me other than some leaves just beginning to die. What do you see that looks off please?
I'm watering about every 2 1/2 days. The pots are super light when I water and seem to dry out pretty quick actually. My tap water quality sucks so I've learned and I'm wondering if that's been a factor over the duration. Got a TDS meter to help make sure I'm not overloading.
I'm a sponge for feedback!

The one at the back left looks OK. The 3 in front look like they may be struggling a bit re nutes, could be pH related.
Back right looks like it's struggling a bit..
So back to basics with temps and humidity. Yours appear pretty good.
Your in soil. What nutes have you been giving them and how much? What pH of the inputs?
Watering frequency?
