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

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.

Yeah I agree with 4wisco this is a confusing one drying and curing can make a big difference along with harvest time….. along with harvesting too early i think you can harvest too late also… you say it was dry in 7 days but how dry was it? Do you have hygrometers in the jars… once the cure gets below 54% it is dead… also what are the genetics? that plays a huge role in potency… It does not get you high at all?

No problem. Its technically not the right place to look for advice but everyone always says dont be afraid to throw out a question anywhere. Im sure whoever does have the answer will need more specific info but dont throw in the towel. You're already invested. Just gotta work out some kinks.

I was thinking too late, but then there would be all amber and some black trichomes, and if it was really lates ome would even be falling off.

but everything looks good in the pics as far as timeline.

Hi Dale, I harvested the right time I believe, after checking with the microscope, when I dried in the bags I added a hygrometer to them and took them out when it reached less than 60%, I like 58% buds for grinding, then they went into grove bags and the humidity rose to 69%, so I put them in the bags again for another day, and doing this every time until they are steady. They also rise out of acceptable range in the grove bags, not sure what's going on there.
Thanks for the below 54% number, I'll remember that.
Genetics were spot on, Sawney's beans.
I just smoked a small reefer and I do get a slight buzz, but it doesn't last long and is no way better than street weed, which it should be.
Last grow was Mephisto and Fast Buds it was the same thing, just worse last time
My growing skills must be the problem if it isn't the environment or whatever else of a long list that it could be.

I wouldnt say its the skills, from the pictures the bud looks fine.

Although I thought with grove bags, even without a heat seal, if the bud put in was within a certain spec it should pretty much keep it in the desired humidity range. Ive never used them but Ive been thinking about using them to cure instead of jars with a bunch of individual hydrometers. So its strange the humidity shot up so high. That's definitely getting dangerously close reaching mold level if the temps are in the right range.

Thanks 4wiso the buds do look fine. The plants didn't grow well though, that's why I was questioning the skills.
I don't think they have the perfect environment but it similar setups seem to be working fine for others.
Yes the grove bags just don't work for me. Don't know what they are like if you heat seal them, I should imagine it's better.
But the humidity in my house is high most of the year, poor insulation and an old house, so the humidity in the bags seems to rise way above what they should be. They are in my drying room now at 55% one bag is stable at 58-59% for a week the other keeps rising past 62% so have to burp them or back in a bag if it gets too high

Yeah can’t be so hard on your self we are our own worst enemies your process sounds ok the real confusing part is you have lots of trichz which should mean thc… I’m gonna have to think on this one

@Don't Fear the Reefer I feel you cause I got pretty much the same problem.
I manage to feed the girls correctly (unlike my first grow) and yet I got very weak potency.
After thinking about it and thanks to some inputs, it seems that in my case the drying was done at a much too higher t°
We had 6 heat waves from may to september - so my next (third) grow will start in march, in the hope of more manageable t°.
Otherwise I'll have to think A/C - but then a full bunch of questions arises lol
Good luck and I want to know what happened to your grow too !

 

[Don't Fear the Reefer]

It does seem like temperatures affected your grow. Good luck in future.
Not really sure what to do, had plenty of replies in Live Stoners. Will be thinking on things for a while.
