Another gap in journaling. :-(
The Levoit and the "PETSPIONEER Reptile Humidifier Digital Timing Fog Machine with Double Hose & 4 Liter Reservoir, Automatic Terrarium Fogger for Reptiles/Amphibians/Herps/Vivarium" (how's that for a product name!) kept H in the 50's. Weather is still brutal - highs were in the high 80's and RH was in single digits. It'll be like that for the next week.
Gotta say, growing weed in an indoor area that's not climate controlled can be "challenging". I'd love to have a grow room but not in this lifetime. Hmm, next time around, I want to be a housecat so maybe it'll be the trip after that when I'll get an grow room.
Anyway, I took down the stems, cut them in to lengths of about 1', and got them into paper bags. I "covered" each bag with another bag and then got everything back into the tent - the bags the Pulse, Wetbird, the dehumidifier (not the Levoit*), etc. The second level of bags is sitting on the X3 - why not? The colas are pretty dry so the paper bags are just a way to buy time so that I can bag things up over the course of the next few days.
Jeff turned out to be a bust. The weird shape was because I hit it with so much light that the plant fox tailed. I made a mistake in how I handled the height difference between Jeff and Mary. I increased the PPFD to get light to Mary and that caused Jeff to foxtail. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I still spent the $125 on the light but, because I didn't have the experience/ knowledge. I failed to address the issue for long enough that I screwed up both plants. Dumb shit - over a measly $125 that I ended spending on the light anyway.
What do you do when life give you bags full of fox tailed cannabis? Burn it (one joint at a time) is an option but I'm thinking about making edibles.
Of the four plants that I've harvested in the past year, only Mary was quality. Short, compact, very easy to harvest, and yielded 181 grams of decent nugs. And that's after she got shitty light for a couple of weeks.
The other three plants? Frankly, dog shit. Very strange morphology (some of Jeff's stems were >5' long) and the plants from this summer were hit with thrips so quality took a hit there. So I'm batting .250 right now. Be not deterred! (How's that for a battle cry!
)
And, even though Jeff turned out to be a lot less than optimal I need to get those bags out of the tent and get another grow going, pronto. There's just a bit over 3 ½ months before it gets hot (June). I should be able to get everything into Grove bags before the weekend is out so that means I can pop the Gorilla Glue autos on Saturday.
*Oh, the Levoit wasn't very helpful because I use it with an Inkbird. When the RH hits the limit, Wetbird cuts power and, unfortunately, the Levoit does not restart after the power's been cut. That's why it was in a box.
