Does anyone exhaust into the same room they are growing in.

[Don't Fear the Reefer]

Yes but thats if the room is sealed. I doubt your room is basically air tight. I saw you ssid its in a room with no windows. Maybe I missed it but how big is your room, and how big is the tent?

The room is about 3.5 metres by 2.5 metres approx and the tent is 1 metre by 1 metre.
I leave the door leading up to the room open to help with air exchange.
I will try adding a fan, even though my dehumidifier is running and blowing air out all the time.

You really dont need it. If the door is open all the time that really should be fine.

Hi Guys and for anyone who reads this,
I need your help again.
As we think that there should be no problems exhausting into the same room,
can anyone tell me the plants I have harvested in this tent do not have any potency, I hardly get a buzz off them.
My vpd was in check, except when lights were off.
I watered, fed with 21 degrees C temperature water/feed, I thought I had all the variable sorted.
Yet again my buds have no potency. Such a waste of resources.
Can anyone offer any advice, before I throw in the towel.
Is it because I have to run a dehumidifier 24/7 to keep the humidity in check?
The dehumidifier definitely stops them from smelling much.

Any other ideas?

Man the only thing I can think to ask is how mature were the trichomes at harvest? I doubt you harvested early but thats the only thing I can think of. Do you have any pics of them at all?

Other than that it comes down to drying and curing and Im definitely not an expert there beside basic literature thats available everywhere. I did read though that too quick of a dry and a bad cure can really lessen the potency. Also bad drying conditions can lower potency as in temp and humidity. But I cant imagine it would basically 0 the potency.

Thanks for the reply
Here's a few pictures of the last girls I have harvested.
Only tested some dried buds, they have not been cured yet.

The buds were dried in paper bags for 7 days.
I have 1 plant hang drying to see that makes any difference

Thats some good looking bud, its a damn shame its not good. The only thing I can see when I zoom is that it looks like some trichomes are still clear, but it does look like a majority is cloudy. The only thing I could suggest, and this is just an opinion, is wait till you have 10% amber trichs and see if that makes a difference. It is possible you're just harvest a week or 2 early. I know those final days can make a huge difference.

Taking a closer look I do see some amber trichomes too so Im at a complete loss. This would definitely be something I would bring an expert in for because Im at a loss.

I cant really think of anyone off hand other than some admins or man'o'green. Throw up a post on the live stoner chat. Theres a lot of people in there right now, they also might be able to direct you to someone who might be able to give you a better idea of whats going on.

Thanks again,
I'll try what you suggested, thanks.
There was definitely some amber when I checked with the microscope.
Shame I don't have any microscope pictures.
