for number five, am I allowed to put my trimmed and dry buds into a foodsaver vacuum machine and leave them for a week before going in the cure jar. Vaccuum packing makes them solid as rocks - even if they were quite fluffy to start with. :)

ROFL, I thought you were kidding Peejay...until I read KJC's comment.
I have a vacuum sealer and now it's going to get used. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Re: New City Grower

Before I leave, those of you using the vacuum sealers for the buds....does it matter how dry they are? If they've already completely dried do I dare doing it?

Thanks KJC, I don't think I will dare. They will probably turn into a crumbled up mess. LOL I'll wait till next harvest.
 
Re: New City Grower

I have good experience flushing fabric the same way as I water it takes more times and quantity but works good and so on I can see how the dunk would maybe be better as long as you still have water flowing through the medium to flush it out so I feel like you would still have to flush them after the dunk I haven't seen anything on it though or done it but if you do that with air pots you would lose medium and disturb the roots so I use the one method for everything. Air pots are the truth by the way or rootmakers I encourage everyone to try em.
 
Re: New City Grower

Also d.p. for nutes I use multi part systems and I go by experience of what parts to adjust. I tell all I give help to to grow with regular schedule and direction a coupke runs and learn the plants and the nutes and how they grow and react before they try to decide what to change or add in a system. Experience is the only way to know for sure and trial and error. I learn something every time I grow and been doing rhe same thing for years.

they can be dry. I used to have a problem with purchasing more smoke than I could use. Way more! "Oh that looks good, I'll take an ounce." I took to vacuum packing all the excess for a rainy day. I had quite a collection going! They come out really dense. I have only vacuumed dry ready to smoke buds. Never done it with freshly dried uncured, etc.

I hate work! Lol but I'm all caught up, was a nice read and learning experience :thumb:

The dunk method will actually work in any type of pot with large drainage holes. As the plant sits in it's bath the water creeps up to water-level. When you lift it out the water drains away. Voila! A fabric pot works better because the the water can enter the soil from all sides.

In either case, it beats the heck out of trying to pour 3x-5x the pot volume of water through from the top. That is just a messy way to do it no matter how you slice it.

Re: New City Grower

I also missed this session, but read through it ...lots of good info! Thank YOU! In reference to nutes and hydro/dwc, I had an issue recently and wasn't able to find a good answer...maybe someone here will have one for me :)

The issue: I'm growing Arctic Sun in dwc and it was time to put into flower, change lights (compact power floros being used) and change nutes. I prepped new bucket (clean, ro water, cal/mag and flwr nutes-General Hydroponics line). EC readings in veg between 1180-1220 with ph at 5.4-5.8. I was worried about increasing the nutes all at once so new bucket started with EC 1250 and gradually increased over next 2 days to 1800. ph during that time started at 5.4 and went to 6.1 which is where it was when I got a '0r' reading on ec meter! no matter where I put the probe (water or in root mass) I still read zero on meter. I tested the meter on diff grow I have in veg and all was fine. Was this a lockout issue? I got ph down to 5.4 in short order but still had zero ec read. (I didn't think 6.1 was damaging anyway, but have read here that lower than 6 is best for dwc) I searched and searched on the net but couldn't find the answer to the zero ec reading. I mixed new solution (in the order recommended) and was getting the same issue-zero reading. A couple days had gone by and the plant itself looked fine, but I was becoming nervous wreck, lol. For sure this is a girl and didn't want to damage her. Instead of changing buckets again, I drained some water and added 2gal of plain ro water with cal/mag only. That did the trick! Ec meter started reading 1800-1820 depending where I placed the probe. So, WAS it a nute lockout? Should I continue raising the Ec reading? I've read where Arctic Sun loves high nutes :) What should max reading be? thanks in advance for any input/suggestions. ps: I would post pics but don't have enough entries yet, lol
