Hey @MrSauga what do you think about drying in a poorly insulated garage this week? Think it would be ok? Our temperature is pretty good during the day but still a little cool at night

Welcome cr8 and thanks for tagging along. Shout out if you have any questions and feel free to chime in anytime with your opinions or advice.
Hi Lapid... I do not. Any media that is buffered requires no pH'ing of the nutes. If you run coco, hempy, dwc or any hydro/passive hydro system then you need to pH your nutes. Promix or Fox Farm Ocean Forest are two examples of medias that are buffered.
There is typically a rule of thumb to wait for 21 days after the plant has started to flower. During this period the plant is stretching. You don't want to be doing and defol or stressful trainiing during that time. After the 21 day stretch period you can train again and remove any branches that are not going to make it to the canopy.
The one I am running is from a freebie(thru a promo) from Seedman. It's Sweet Seeds DDA. They have a promo where if you buy 3 seeds you get one free and if you buy 5 you get two free seeds.
As long as the RH in the garage is not too low. Around 58% would be ideal for a slower dry. I'd be more concerned about the smells in a garage that may get absorbed by the flower when drying. Cool temps are fine. I do a slo 'n dry which means my buds sit in the fridge for about two weeks.
Yeah, didn't think about the smells in the garage, I'll just do it in my cold electrical closet, thanks I'll update my thread tonight

I see we’re all under control still, and it’s business as usual. 
Hey Mr S, how’s it hangin’? I know you’re a soil Mc guy, just like I’ve mostly done, but I’ve you ever considered doing your autos in perlite hempy? Check out my DDa, today is day 50 and I am just barely starting to seeing primordia. Her next feed (tomorrow) will be 5.5g/gal. She’s in a 10L bucket.

Morning Mr S
Thought I’d share this sparkling vampire I found this morning as I was tending my garden earlier.
She’s just the most eye catching canopy wise.
Now to the real question
So when you thinking of popping them goo seeds lol

Hiya Chef! I have not thought about it but I've seen some good grows from @FelipeBlu who to me is a master with the shite. Having said that your DDA is simply stunning. I like soil so most likely will stick with it. I may transition to Promix and maybe try hempy after that. Soil fits my lifestyle right now.
Stellar looking bud there Scotty. Lots of Goo
Hopefully by next weekend. My Lemon AK is taking longer than I thought.

Ugh, I think understand that feeling now lol.
was going to chop the dwarf, but man she
Just decided that it wasn’t time Yet. But I am seeing a lil color starting to pop in her. Not much. But enough to have me excited lol.
So it can’t be to far off.
Man I can’t wait to see them goo babies.
Thinks I’ll wait a lil and see how yours turn out first before I try a purchase

Shed is running a couple of @Weedseedsexpress sativas, farside is running a couple of their autos, I'll be running two of their indica's. I think Dutchman is going to be running another strain as well and possible Pennywise. So Shed and farside have just both started theirs and if you wanted to see their genetics in action then it's a good time to catch up on those journals too!Thinks I’ll wait a lil and see how yours turn out first before I try a purchase

Hi Mr.S 
Respect and remembrance to all the fallen all over the world. I hope this post finds you all and your loved ones are happy and healthy. That's sure a frosty one Scotty. Hello Chef, I've checked Felipeblu's journal and that hempy looks more and more like something I might want to experiment with. I have a question Mr. S. Do you put your buds in the fridge right after the chop? And then to the bag or jar? I live in the desert and a need a slower cure. Here's a nug of Purple Punch.
Stay safe and stay stoned.

If I do a bud wash I have to let them hang dry for two to four hours before putting in the fridge. The tips of the cola need to be dry from water.
If I don't do a wash then I trim as close as possible leaving the sugars on. Then I place up to 28 grams of wet bud in the paper bag. Do not roll the end closed and try not to stack over the openings. You can layer the bags on top of each other by doing a criss cross pattern and rotating every couple of days.
The more bud you have in the fridge the longer it takes to dry. When I get under 68% RH I take it out of the fridge and store in turkey bags filled with air from the room. This air continues the drying process and the cure takes over after that. To test the RH you need to take some bud out and place it in a jar or turkey bag and measure the RH after an hour or so. If over 68% it goes back in the fridge.
Once I'm at or under 68% and the bud is in the turkey bag I keep burping daily checking the RH. Once it hits 62% I don't add any more air. I exhaust the air roll the bag closed and store in 5 gallon sealed containers.
The benefit of the turkey bag is for burping. I can put 5 ounces easily in a turkey bag and burp and toss the buds gently. I can't do this in jars without it taking a lot of time and spillage.

Im soaking up cure options for bigger harvests. Im still in jar realm. 2nd harvest and trim coming soon, or maybe a few weeks. But not counting my buds. Bags are good wisdom for more ambitious grows like yours. I did decided get two more boxes of wide mouth 1 quart jars for the upcoming toss and cure.

Nothing wrong with that. Tried and true. For me it's just the convenience. I have a lot more control over the final dry and cure afterwards. I believe it was derbybud who started using them.
