Good Evening AFN family...Iam beat again....getting old sucks..:crying: Just finished my friends boat. Started 8 am...and just got out of shower...Thought a hot showers would help...Nope, sore as hell.

On a different note..All is smooth sailing in the tent. I think Chem bubbly will be coming down next week sometime. The Girlscout cookie is taking her sweet ass time..and I popped a Amnesia Haze by Zamnesia a couple days ago...she is above soil now.

AND I played "Taps" for the Double Grape..put her in a plug, and the seedling shit the bed on me.
 
Hyper ryders are down and dry...still waiting one more day on the second ryder until it hits the jars, but the first one is ready to toke and jarred! Smell great very grapefruit citrus..very frosty....will hold notes on potency and taste until a proper cure. Pic of a better bud...lowers are fluffy..but caked in crystal!!

Plant 2 is friggin sweet pink grapefruit indeed!! I can see myself growing Hyper RRyder SPG again!! Density was poor...but shit i am not complaining!! The bud looks prime, despite lots of loose stuff on the lowers.

My pittance should be ready for jars in a day or so. Just got my integra boost order, and I put 4 hydrometers into a pint jar with one of the pouches. So far all four hydrometers are sitting at 55%, but its only been a few hours.

Pretty confident they'll work just fine. More concerned about the cheap-shit hydrometers. They are pretty consistent in measure, but that could just mean they are all off by the same amount.

Salt test 'em bud!!

With Winter here, the cool, crisp conditions have likely altered the environment inside your humidor. So, you'll want to keep a close eye on your humidor. But how do you know that your hygrometer is reading the humidity accurately? A simple calibration will do the trick. Here are a couple of ways to calibrate your hygrometer:

  1. The Towel Test:
    Dampen a towel (not dripping wet, but good and damp), then wrap the hygrometer in the towel for 30 to 45 minutes. Then unwrap it and read the humidity (quickly). If your hygrometer is perfectly calibrated (few are) it will be reading exactly 100% humidity. Most likely, it will be reading somewhere between 80 and 90%. At this point, whatever the hygrometer reads, you can either set the needle to exactly 100% immediately after the test, or if you're a little lazier, make a mental note of how far over or under the actual humidity is from the reading from your hygrometer.
  2. Wanna get a little more technical? Try the Salt Test:
    Luckily, as nature would have it, when salt and water (NaCl and H2O for you studious types), are in a saturated solution at equilibrium, the resultant humidity is 75%. This gives a fantastic reference point to calibrate our hygrometer. There is an easy way to determine if your hygrometer is accurate. Here's the procedure you should use: you need a ziploc bag, a screw-on beer bottle cap (or other small container) a small amount of salt (regular 'ole table salt), and water.
    1. Place the salt in the bottle cap (or other small container).
    2. Dampen the salt with water. Do not put so much in that the salt gets "sloppy". You want a damp pile of salt in the bottle cap.
    3. Place both the hygrometer and the bottle cap full of damp salt in the ziploc bag and seal it well. (It is important not to let air on or out while the test is going on.)
    4. Keep it like this for over 8 hours.
    After 8 hours in the damp salt environment, the actual humidity inside the bag will be 75%. Compare it to your hygrometer, your hygrometer should also read 75%. If not, you will then know exactly how far off your hygrometer is. If it's off, note the amount and direction that it actually reads and be sure to add or subtract that amount when reading the hygrometer. If the hygrometer has a control to adjust it (either the needle or the display), you can set the hygrometer to 75% immediately after the test.

    You should salt test your hygrometer every 6 months or so to be sure of the accuracy.

Utilizing the salt test you are able to put a little sticker on your cheap hygrometers with + - % and know the difference for accurate readings.
