MightyMoe's Secret Jungle: 8 Strains, Two Tents, Mega Crop & Vulx

[MightyMoe22]

the basement that my big tent is currently in stays around 55-60f and 70ish rh. I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 in the tent to keep things around 45-50rh. If i were to set up another tent down there or hang them out side the tent that's there the humidity would be way too high. The attic though. There's something I didn't think about.

Nice harvest! And drying them on the stems will definitely slow down the drying. Backlip used his as a chandelier!

No place to hang them in the dark though? THC degrades in light.

Hey shed!! Thanks for the shoutout!!

@Emilya @InTheShed @MrSauga While they would still be in the same tent with the light, would it be better to lower my light some and have them completely above the light? Instead of portions hanging down below the light, there for taking direct light. That is if the attic doesn't check out. Sticking a hygrometer up there now before I take off for work.

The attic though. There's something I didn't think about.

As long as you don't have any exposed insulation. If it's like my house we have bats of insulation that fit between the rafters. Any movement stirs those fibers up and will contaminate the buds.

While they would still be in the same tent with the light, would it be better to lower my light some and have them completely above the light? Instead of portions hanging down below the light, there for taking direct light.

It would help in the fact that it won't dry them out or crisp them up but the light is still there. Maybe hang a dark curtain and separate the tent if that makes sense.

Got ahold of some suction cups that should work for the auto burping jars, if i manage to get into that tonight i'll document the process. Got a lot going on tonight already though. We'll see. Off tomorrow, so i should have plenty of time for that and running some wires ive been meaning to for over a week now...gwhiz

 

[MightyMoe22]

@MrSauga , didn't even think about that until your content, there is exposed insulation in the attic... so much for that. Was a good idea though. Thanks for the heads up, very good call.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Here we go!!!! It sure seems like it will work like a charm!!! Just finished my first self burping jar!
It was actually really simple too. My only warning is that it is strongly advised to have and use a drill press for the glass coring portion.
Also, I got the idea from a journal somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me remember who's or where..

I may be making a mistake posting this and not going straight to the patent office! But I want to give back or maybe help someone! After all everyone here has been very welcoming and extremely helpful. Come check it out @MrSauga @Backlipslide @Derbybud @oldsmokey @West Hippie @InTheShed @stoneotter @Pennywise @Emilya @farside05 @bluter @Davef @Old Salt @Preston9mm @Amy Gardner @THC Onlyfans @Rexer @Stormblessed and any one else I forgot to mention here!

Here's what you need- minus the gorilla glue, used hot glue instead.

- glass jars, whatever size you want. (Plastic would be way easier, but thc can break some plastics down, so be safe and just use glass)
- suction cups (to make one way valve)
- rubber hole grommets (picked up at local hard ware store)
- small aquarium air hose (i used 1/4 inch OD)
- small zip ties
- hot glue gun and glue
- drill and small bits
- glass coring drill bits, i used the 8mm size(very cheap and easy to find on Amazon or eBay)
- small aquarium air pump (this one cost me $13.00 at my local hydro shop)
- splitter for air line, I still have to pick that up.

First things first.

I drilled small holes in the centers of each suction cup. Just barely big enough to squeeze the zip-ties through.

Next we need to drill a hole in the lid of the jar, right in the center, and only big enough to squeeze the zip-tie through. Then before putting the zip-tie/suction cup on the lid, drill 5-6 more holes around the one you made for the zip tie.

Then you'll need to fill around the head of your zip-tie in order to make sure air isn't leaking around the zip-tie where it goes through the suction cup. Then put the zip-tie through the hole in the lid and pull it through until the suction cup is slightly pulled/ pressed against the top of the lid and glue around it on the inside of the lid and hold until the glue cools, then snip excess zip-tie off and apply a little more hot glue. Congrats! Your lid/one way valve is complete!

Next you will need to core a small hole in the bottom of the glass jar. And I do not advise trying this without a drill press. You may be able to manage it with 2 people and a hand held drill, but I really wouldn't want to try it that way. When coring the hole in the jar use a little water to cool and lubricate the process, then very, and I mean VERY light pressure or you will either ruin the whole jar, or have a very ugly hole that will be difficult to get a good seal around.
Once you core your hole all that is left is to smash the grommet into it then feed just a bit of the air hose through!

Now just fill with delicious buds that are ready to cure and plug the air pump into a light timer set to on for 10 mins twice a day, adjusting is less and less over time as the cure progresses. At least that is about what I'm looking at with the air pump i have. You will need to check your pumps rated flow and then compare that to the size of your jars.

Happy growing everyone!!!

 

[Derbybud]

Great idea moe. Nice tutorial. Well done.

 

[Pennywise]

That’s slick thanks for posting!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Honestly only took about 20 mins to 100% complete one jar.

 

[InTheShed]

I want to see it in action!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Just as soon as I take all the cement shoes and zkittlez down from hang drying, you will indeed see it in action @InTheShed !

 

[Rexer]

That's an awesome idea! Very nice write up and photos as well.

 

[MightyMoe22]

it's my first tutorial so thanks so much everyone!

 

[West Hippie]

Thanks for sharing , I have all but the suction cups plus I get to see it work shortly. Thanks again MightyMoe .

 

[MightyMoe22]

@West Hippie if you get the itch to try it out, good ol' amazon has just about everything.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Except the nugs!!!

 

[West Hippie]

@West Hippie if you get the itch to try it out, good ol' amazon has just about everything.

Ask InTheShed he mentions it I try it so it will happen. Bad thing it will be after Christmas before I get to try it .

 

[MightyMoe22]

I'll get to put this one into action in about a week so stay tuned!
