icoming wave !

100+ days for a new grower?! patience. patience. patience. congratulations @FullAuto245 . looks like you will be smoking thise beauties soon.. enjoy your hardwork and labor.

thank you for the completely detailed journal!!! its good to see/follow a grower using the same nute line up.. and doing the exact schedule i debated on doing.. 2 birds 1 stone! bonus: looks like i can upgrade to a 4x2x5 tent too (seeing as we basically have the same set up.. i just dont have the space hahah

the only reason why im using all 3 products (micro.gro.bloom) is because i already bought it . il definitely be giving the lucas method a try one day.

My tent is in a large closet. It will fit in a lot of spaces. I’m lucky my house is almost perfectly set up for growing discrete. Even when we were looking at it before I started growing I thought damn this is s good house for growing lol.

I can't tell you how thankful I am to be part of this forum! I want to thank everyone who stopped by and helped me out through first go around!

just glad we got them through to some dry kit for you fullauto........

I couldn't have done it without your help! Thank You!!!!

not a problem,........... glad to help get them into harvest shapes !!............ here is some additional advice re post grow prep; i see you have the whole plant hanging upside down........

This is the end of grow protocol;

the last 10 days of the flowering period, when at least 50% of the leaves have gone Autumn yellow, flush the plants using your usual watering periods, for 8-10 days, with zero nute water Ph'ed to 7.0......@23c..

then no water for 3 days, on the same light pattern you are using.......... this will bring up thew terpen values, slightly dehydrate the flowers, and dry out the grow medium letting in lots of oxygen to potentiate the trichomes and terps.....

trim the sweet leaf of the flower edges, and cut them into walnut sized chunks, place them into an "A4" brown paper bag, about a coffee cup full in each bag, fold over the top, hang in the tent on these....

hang them, the A4 bags top folded over to slow the dehydration, hang them in the tent at 23-26c........... dry them at one day for every 10% of tent relative humidity (RH), then add one day to the total = RH 45% = 4.5 days plus one = 5.5 days @RH45%.......... then with a hygrometer inside a large 500ml or 1000ml "Screw Top Kilner Jar"................ put a coffee cup volume of buds in the jar and check the RH of the flowers........ you want it at 55-60% RH................... the flowers are dried to 60% RH, checked in the kilner jar with the hygrometer in jar with lid crewed on..................

once you have the flowers in the brown bags, dried to RH 55-60%................. you can 'Loose" fill the kilnewr jars 50g in a 500ml hermetic seal screw top kiolner jar....... then in that jar add 2no "Boveda RH62%" humidity "Regulator" packs............ these maintain the correct soft throat smoking relative humidity, like a 200 dollar cigar !! in a 'Humidore case".......!!...................... RH62% is the perfect smoking moisture content for the bud.................. but not enough to cause 'White Jar Mold".................. conversly the Boveda packs protect the flowers from it !!.....................taking in water if to wet, giving it out if to dry, re-hydrating bud that is to dry, and harsh on the throat..................

good kit, and the bud will last at 100% terp value for 3 months.............. if not opened to often !!

You got a bright future ahead and we will all be here cheering ya on. That's what this networks all about.

here is a link to a guy who i am teaching to grow from a zero knowledge start for him............. he is at day 60 ish at the mo, with some auto "Ultimates" & "Amnesia" from Dutch Passion..............all xxl yeild.......... have a read through the blog.................. he had a para start, but i pulled it round for him now, in both grow security, aroma management, and culture management also.................... here is the link the @WhiteLights grow............ mentored by me................ it's in the breeder section in the Dutch Passion lounge right now, afyter it was in the infirmary with some new grower issues....... now back on track and booming at day 60 ish............. enjoy the smoke............ from your labors.................... well done there auto....................ALR

Nobody's told fullauto what to do he's done it all on his own and I'd never take credit for somone else's grow. All the infos out the there the grower has to put in the work. That's what makes a successful grow. I'm not telling anyone what to do just telling them what they already know.

Your drying and curing method is correct. A little over explained but very accurate. I always dried and cured by look and feel but I kept hearing ppl boast about boveda packs so I bought them and I wasent impressed. I only use them if I plan on storing bud for a long time. And their not exactly cheap and don't last very long. I've tried every drying method and curing method I could find and the full plant dry trim always gives the best taste and slower drying preserves potency. Unless your in a very humid area where mold is a problem that's the only reason I would cut the buds off the stem and dry on racks. Everyone thinks they have the best method including myself.lol
