Hello everyone,hope you are all well and feeling good.

Sorry i didn't post yesterday about the tribe.

All is good on my end and i hope yours is tooo!!!!
They have only being fed once a day for the last 3 days,it has been at 16:00.
I don't know what has happend but they peng realy strong now and my filter is just about coping with it.

Feed has been the same 6.7L water:
3ml CalMag
3ml each Bloom A+B
1.5ml B52
1.5ml OverDrive
1.5ml BudCandy
PH 5.8.
20% Runoff
I was getting alot more runoff when feeding 2x per day,now that i'm feeding once a day-it is giving me 20% runoff.

GWK has got some Amber on her but not much,if all is well then some time next week i think i'll start to feed her FlawlessFinish.

BBK has just started to get 1 or 2 Amber after a rough check with digicam,maybe around 2 weeks for her to start the FlawlessFinish.

CDCxS keeps getting chunkier,best looking out the bunch(no marks on her leaves except a little wind burn at the bottom.No sign of any Ambers yet so looking like she will have the home to herself for a week or 2.
Don't know how i'm going to dry them as i wanted to do half tent and half fridge dry again but the CDCxS looks like she will be in there.
Is it worth buying a little grow tent to dry them in or shall i just put the lot in fridge,realy wanted to try sum within a couple of weeks of the chop and fridge takes a bit(can't remember of the top of my head how long my last attemt took).

Any way enough of me jabbering on,here they are if you would like to take a look:
Thank you and take care.

Hello everybody,

Still unsure if i should buy a small tent to dry in or get a 3x3 to swap them into and use this 2x2.5 to dry in instead.I'm looking at GG 3x3x7 or Cloudlab733 for the switch into or a GG shorty or cloudlab422 just to dry in.
I still have a week or 2 to decide.

The feed strength has been abit light and the BBK is showing it the most,GWK has gotten a bit lighter than her narmal self.CDCxS is out stinking the others now by a long shot.At first it was a nice fruity/weedy smell when i opened up there home and now it's just pure gas and i love it.

Feed has been 6.7L water:
3ml CalMag
3ml each Bloom A+B
1.5ml B52
1.5ml OverDrive
1.5ml BudCandy
PH 5.8 .

Here they are if you would like to take a look.
Thank you

If you can afford another tent go for it. Grow creep strikes us all and you’ll be getting one sooner or later anyway. Get that seven foot tall one. My 2c.
Otherwise a lot of people have success with boxes. Drying in a large cardboard box, hanging buds from strings. It can be ducted to your grow space air intake so air is drawn past your drying harvest. And it’s dark.
There’s also the fridge option if you have a frost free fridge and copacetic housemates.

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Thanks for the reply DD,
Everything i have now should fit into the 7/8footer better than what i have now.

I don't have a cupboard or wardrobe near to dry and vent from so another purchase is iminant i think.

I tried the fridge dry on my first attempt which took a while,i wanted to try sum rather soon after they have finished.

Hopefuly if i wait a week i can get a small discount and get a slightly larger exhaust fan(6in) and use the 4in i have now as a inline but use it in the current tent to dry in.
Things possibly to buy if decent discount saving
New 6in fan
6in filter + ducting.

Thank you for your input DD

My local humidity is around 50%. I use a cardboard box with strings and hang the colas. If necessary, I have gentle fan moving some air. Takes about 6-8 days. This isn’t helpful, but when they “feel right” I trim the colas and put buds into zipper type food bags. Usually I hit about 65-70% rh, high I then fine tune with Boveda or air-drying to get to around 62. I have 4+ oz each of Durban Poison and Sour Diesel that are curing right now. I have hygrometers in the bags.

Hello there Hiker,
I have seen many people use it that way with great effect.For a quick fix if neeed i was going to use one of these which i have from work,,,i'm guessing yours is the same kind of thing.

Thanks for your input

P.S. got a little drunk last night and purchase the GG3x3x8foot

Hello again everybody,
just a quick question if anyone could answer??

I fed them today and noticed something on 2 of BBKs buds,i instantly got the digi' cam out to check if it was any foreign objects making it or collecting it(nothing found).
Is this normal sometimes or is she trying to tell me something.

Sticky balls of what i think is like a resin consistancy,i dabbed at 1 with kitchen roll and it was like toffee/resin.

Thank you for any feedback

 

[DonkeyDick]

It must be resin. It’s a good thing. The plants are overproducing. You are doing more than one thing right.
You have all the hydrostatic mechanisms in balance. Keep doing whatever it is that’s working.
That’s what I think.

Hello DD,i didn't know what to think of it at first other than insects!!.Then after checking and finding nowt i thought is this good/bad...is she dying...
Your comment relax's me now somewhat knowing it's not a bad thing.
Have you had this happen before?
Thanks for your reply

Hello @mk2SMOKEY hope your having a good day.

Good work my friend

Stay safe

Hello Bill,hope you had a fantastic xmas time with your family and friends.

I was worried abit but now DD has put my mind at ease.Never happend on my other go.
I'm guessing not long now for her then.
Thank you Bill

 

[DonkeyDick]

Have you had this happen before?

I had a CBD plant raining wet resin when I once had the conditions right.

Definitely fun to see.

The trick is for you to snapshot the conditions you have now and make this your new normal.

ahhaaa i see,have noted everything down:
Temps at top/bottom of tent
Humidity at top/bottom of tent
Room temp
Room humidity
Temp of feed
Actual feed /PPM + PH.
It's abit mad that only her is doing it isn't it.
Thank you DD

 

[DonkeyDick]

It's abit mad that only her is doing it isn't it.

Kind of, yeah. But also there’s other stuff that’s unique to her - her place in the room. Her roots. Drainage/aeration, mycology. Anything repeatable. Drivers of hydrostatic tension.
Any system with multiple moving parts can be complex to look at , but when it’s in balance... wow.
With your pedal to the metal in a well tuned car you don’t really need to know how it works. Whether the inlet valve on cylinder one opens when the clutch flywheel is at three and a half degrees before top dead centre at 1200 rpm or not doesn’t really matter so long as it gets you there.
You have something interesting under the hood.

Thats a realy good explanation to it.
How big's her pot/what's in it/how it's put in there and so on.There is loads now that i have read that.
Thank you

Hello everybody,hope you're all well.

A few more Amber tric's on the GWK and BBk but not enough to start decreasing nute strength on BBK/FlawlessFinish on GWK.
No sign of Amber on CDCxS after a quick rough check.

The small little nugz at the bottom are getting super frosty and a decent size.

Feed has been 6.2L water:
3ml CalMag
3ml each Bloom A+B
2ml B52
2ml OverDrive
PH 5.9
around 30% RunOff.

Here they are if you would like to take a look.
Thank you
