Plastek's Perpetual Shark Tank

Nice harvest PS!

And the pic of those trichome-laden foxtails should dissuade anyone from putting down foxtailed buds. Stunning!

Thanks Shed! Now I just hope curing goes ok. Checked it out today and humidity was only 41% so I put the box in my original grow closet, and put a humidifier and a fan inside to move some air and add some humidity. Hopefully that helps!

 

[InTheShed]

Good idea...41% is pretty low!

 

[PlastekShark]

Got it up to 56% and 68°F

 

[InTheShed]

Sounds good. Keep the fans on low once the initial moisture is driven off.

Grabbed some of the smaller buds that I couldn't hang. A handful felt dry enough to go into the jar. So I've got a handful in there with a Boveda 62 pack and hygrometer!

Let the burping begin!

Jars are hovering around 68% then burp down to 63% I'll throw in another boveda pack. Large jars and I ordered the smaller packs. We'll see how that works

 

[InTheShed]

I've doubled up the packs when I wanted a faster response and then went back to one when it stabilized at 62%. I'm in quart jars.

So I finally tested the PH of my runoff and it's at 5.7

I've been feeding nutrients with a PH of 6-6.1

Should I be doing anything to correct my runoff PH level? Or is that nothing to be concerned about right now?

Its NOT WHAT U. Get out its what u put IN.

My northern lights started her flower period a few days ago on day 48 from germination!

She's going to produce way more than my first plant! (Gorilla Glue Auto) She has 7 major bud sites with probably 10-12 smaller ones. For comparison the gorilla glue had 1 MAIN cola with 5 decent ones and around 4 small sites. Already getting a little better at growing, thanks to everyone here! Hoping for at least double the harvest this time around! Fingers crossed!

Well, I fudged the bucket on drying. Because I'm an idiot, I put the humidifier in my drying area almost empty. So when I was at work it wasn't working during one of the first couple of days. Dropped down to 41% for about 20 hrs. Stopped the curing process and left me with that crappy hay smell. Buds have been jarred for a week. Smells great when you grind some up, but to just smell a nug.....nothing there. Bummer!!!

Rehydrate a few and see if it helps?

Yeah tried getting it ice and humid for a while to re-moisten, but as I've read before, it didn't help much. Once it gets too dry you cant really go back I guess. Lesson learned! Still a very nice buzz, and still smells and tastes pretty good once its ground up.

 

[InTheShed]

I'd try a plastic container that will fit the buds you want to try and a cup of boiling water if you're interested. I rehydrated an entire AK-47 harvest that way last fall. The Santa Ana's blew through one day and took the RH from 68% to 26%!

About 30-45 minutes in there with the lid closed and then back in a jar with a hygrometer overnight and see where they land.

New garden update!

The lemon haze photo will be transplanted outdoors next week where a friend of mine will watch over her!

The Northern lights is just popping budsites all over, I'm in love! Slow and steady over here for now!

 

[InTheShed]

Looking good!

 

[PlastekShark]

Looking good!

Thanks! From the looks of her, she's going to have a nice yield as long as her flowers bulk up!

Seed mail! Got some dark devil autos and my free seeds are two babushka black autos! Now I don't know what to do first. The dark devils, or some Massassin seeds I had planned on doing next...

 

[InTheShed]

Too many choices! Dunno nothing 'bout the Bub Black but everyone here raves about the DDAs.

I noticed the community grow thread. It's what sparked my interest and convinced me to pick some up! Not sure on the bub black either, but free is good with me!
