Northeast weather 2017

[Black-Thumb]

Early this season, I cut a clone 2 or 3 weeks after buds appeared to see what would happen. It was 1 small branch, with 1 tiny growth site. Now it's about 5.5 inches long.

I put it in some high N potting soil (all I had, not ideal obviously), under 12/12 (a little "smart start" t5) in a small bucket, used some rooting powder and have watered it maybe 5 times over a few months. It just never seemed to need it that bad.

I don't know if there is a scale for measuring density that people use for buds (just weight / size?), but no lie, I could break a window with this thing. It's a rock. It isnt done yet, but it's been interesting checking on it as it developed.

Find an RH calculator online and play with temperature vs humidity. Even adding only a few degrees of heat can make a surprising difference.

I have cracked the RH code.... ironically it looks 1 day too late. I was shutting off exhaust fan when heating thinking I was wasting heat. Counter intuitive. So if course last thing I try works like a charm. Temp. drops but humidity drops harder. Live and learn. 3 days from 7 weeks on sativa... Saturday might be it.

frost warning tonight in central mass. brrrrrr.

Yup, as soon as a chop her down it will be warm and dry. Murphy's law

 

[too larry]

I can't find anywhere on my property, inside or out, where the RH is less then 75-80%.

It's mid-October.

Fuck this weather.

My RH gets into the 90's every night. The dew here is like a light rain. You walk through tall grass early in the morning, your feet and pants' legs get wet. It is hot still though.

Right. It's only considered a humid day in Florida when the fish swim at two or three feet... of altitude.

One of the RIU mods was giving advice to some Noobs about spraying. He said the rule of thumb is to never spray when the temp and RH add up to 140 or more. I told him, "so you are saying I can never spray?" Couldn't do it right this second, as it's 80F with 73% humidity. {and everyone is talking about what a nice clear day we are having}

Lol

Shit, that's a nice dry day in Florida!

 

[Black-Thumb]

Got most of it in the jars. Burping and laying it out a few times a day to be safe.
At some point I'll have to try it!

 

[Black-Thumb]

Still have all this biz drying.


Plus the lower 1/3 of the last plant is still going. Should have it all cut by next week.

 

[Black-Thumb]

I cut down the "freak of nature" bud. This was a tiny, single popcorn bud that I tried to clone for shits and gigs.

Some of the lower, super swollen parts were almost 75% amber. Don't want to grow sleeping medicine so she got the snip.
It's like a rock. 3.5 inches long, and weighs 18g (wet obvi).

Can't wait to see it dry. Hanging now.

 

[Black-Thumb]

It was hung for 4 days and is bone dry now. Ended up at 5.5 grams.

@Black-Thumb, looks dank. How soon do we get the smoke report?

 

[Black-Thumb]

I'm checking it out tonight. We are sitting out for the meteor shower from 12-5am.

I don't really smoke, but it seemed like an ideal occasion to dive in!

Top shelf you grew yourself will make a toker outta you, too!
