Hello I'm Mark what do you think about this?

[marcus611a]

I will remember that on my third generation clones of the same plant going in. Plus this one here it looks like all of its needs are met

 

[marcus611a]

Even better.
Throw a teaspoon of Epsom Salts in and shake well, THEN add your nutrients.
But, seriously ... you GOTTA do something about those red stems.
They costing you.

A pound of ES costs PENNIES ...

Thank you but bro they're already harvested there hanging upside down

 

[Auggie]

Yea, I don't see any red stems.
SO FAR so good.

I didn't read all so I don't know ... are you using Coco?
If you are ... you DEFINATELY need to add magnesium.

OOOoooh.
You're not going to grow any more?
Ever?

Then, never mind ...

Evidently you don't read or something clearly I said I got these clones getting ready to go in there and one already budding out. The one you seen hanging upside down I harvested today both of them with the purple stems you're speaking of I hope you understand this time

I do. But, I agree we are not communicating.

I just want you to understand that purple stems, whether hanging upside down, or not ... ARE NOT GOOD.
You can't do anything about the ones that are hanging; but maybe you could learn and remember that the next time you grow that:
1) Purple stems are not good; it indicates a mag deficiency, and that costs you weight,
2) Purple stems are very easy and inexpensive to fix or prevent, by adding magnesium to your feed routine.

I will most definitely take your advice o onthe Epsom salt

What about calcium? Can I soak some eggshells in water for about 24 hours like it tells me and then put Epsom salt in there with it that way to take care of my calcium and magnesium

Here is a link to @Emilya's DIY Cal-mag with eggshells recipe. I am pretty sure that soaking egg shells in water will not give you calcium (or at least, not just overnight).

That would take an awful long time to absorb CA into water. There are commercially available additives that contain CA and other important micronutrients. SuperThrive for one comes to mind.
This forum, and Google, are your friend.
Do your homework.
Answer your question.

Idk all I know is what I harvested is some fire. I will just buy cal mag and iron supp

 

[marcus611a]

My question is this. I think maybe might have over dried. Because when I put in jar it says humidity inside is 51%. That's what it originally was the day I put it in the jar. I have two jars I put a apple peel in one and it raise humidity to 66. Am I fucked on my bud or what? I had it hanging upside down in my grow tent for three days and I checked on it and it felt really crispy. And so I put them in the jar. Will they ever get their skunk smell back if I leave them in the jar or am I just screwed

So what I'm asking is when I place the buds in the jar were they supposed to have been at like 60% something percent humidity on their own. Or do I have to keep having moisture in there to keep them at that on my own? I'm really confused

 

[marcus611a]

So instead of the apple peel I took it out and I clipped the bud off of a plant that's in 3 week budding stage. Got a piece of paper on top of the weed that's in the jar trying to so call cure it so it don't touch my buds and contaminaye it. It says humidity in a jar is 67% it was 51%

The problem at this point is that the microbes were already killed off. To answer your question, yes you need to jar them (Ideally just) before they reach 62%, or at least, critically before 58%. But the basic idea is to get them close, and then jar them so you have more complete control over how much moisture they lose (burping exchanges gases, but also releases humidity)

I don't know if the microbes can/will transfer off of a wet bud into a dry one... I guess they could, but why would they? Dry is death for them. Raising the humidity of the bud is still desirable, so that they don't just turn to dust when you bust 'em up, but I don't believe that further curing is possible.

So that means they'll never get their smell back either?

 

[marcus611a]

I know now to have humidity packs on hand and to watch them closer when I dry them I had an emergency came up is why I was gone for 3 days and they dried to quickly while I was away

 

[Sueet]

3 days is very fast, but when you grow again, it probably won't be that way. Your buds will be fatter and then you'll have to learn about how to keep the mold away from them until you can get dry enough to hit that curing range.

But with the weed smell still come back to him or not?

Not the way it was, no.
