Have you heard of people putting their buds in a brown bag when they're like half dry and squeezing them? Supposed to make the buds more dense but sounds like it just squeezes them to death.

Day 67 With the smell getting crazy, and me needing to run the ac less.. It's causing the plants to take up crazy amounts of water.. It really seems to be use to the high 60's low 70 range for temp . Ph at 5.2 Ppms 435 Water temp 68.7 Gunna add 5 gallons and adjust back to 375ish Ppms and 5.5-6.0 ph. So weird how low the Ppms are for plants this size. It really is a pain in the behind now to check the Ppms and ph.. I need a flashlight to see in the Rez. Good thing were running up on week 10 and hopefully only about 2 more weeks to go. Smell is just getting worse it's kinda funny to me.. When I'm drying in the room. (Which I jus plan to hang dry all throughout it) the smell will dramatically increase or no..?? I'm assuming yes? My plan is really to keep the drying humidity as high as possible.. When knowing it sits at 30-40% I'm hoping to get it up to high 50's for drying until a slight bend in the stems and a snap. Any good ideas on how to raise the humidity like that in a Aprox. 8x8 ft space.. And also got some unexpected guest coming around the new year.. They're a family friend and basically family and have got themselves in quite a position. I didn't hesitate to offer assistance but in doubt as to weather growing in front of someone who is struggling to get there life straight will cause further problems, I was wondering how difficult it would be to spilt that grow room in half.. With a wall in the Middle and a door.. Never done anything like that before ... Thanx again. IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
It's extremely easy to frame up a wall and put a door there, but why? Are you just trying to conceal it? Reason i ask is why wouldn't they want to go through that door if they'd want to go through the main one in the first place? Keep me up to date on what you do for the humidity. I believe i may be able to just use a humidifier myself, but i only have a 4x4 area. I really don't wanna have to spend $20+ on a humidifier when this would be the only use i have for it.. I feel you on water uptake due to heat.. my plants are soil but im having to water every other day due to temps in the low to mid 80s. Youre low ppms are strange. Maybe they're just really hungry for nutes? Or would it be opposite? Can't remember.. I think the smell is less when drying, but don't take my word for it. If I'm not mistaken the smell is most potent when green. As it dries, it should lose smell. Much the same way a green plant smells much stronger than a bag of smoke. Once again, i could be wrong. Just makes sense though.
Yeah I understand and yeah it's just to conceal it more honestly... Takes it one more step before you notice anything ..and I will defiantly keep updated on what I do! Thanx for the input I don't wanna rush and get a carbon filter the last couple weeks if I don't have to.. It might not even work to we'll right now... IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Temps 66-70 Humidity 45-55 (using the dehumidifier 8hrs a day now) Added 1.5 gallons of cold water. Dropped temps to 67.4 Ph 5.7 Ppms 348 Here's some pictures Leaves are ugly I know :/ IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Smell was getting out of control.. Will hook it up in a couple hours when lights come on... IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Read thru this entire thread. . I love your setup and learned a few things also. Your gonna have a massive yield man. I can't wait to see the end result.
Thanx for following along man, that's why I made it so everyone can learn, including myself. I can't wait till I get to smoke these buds ! I'm supper excited IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
I hope so, I really don't have much of a clue tho as my first grow was nothing compared to this, not to mention I didn't dry or cure it properly at all. I feel I'll be happy with the results as I believe this is my first real grow or first grow with any kind of effort. IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Day 68 Temps 68 Humidity 40 Ph 5.7 Ppms 420 All the thrichomes still look clear to me... Tried to get pictures with my phone on the scope. 60x & 100x Sorry I know there not the best but it's something.. Can everyone see the pictures? Has anyone ever tried this.. I kinda just liked the name haha.. IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Hung them in a 2x2 closet closed for a week then into jars Didn't open the closet or check the humidity or temp or anything. It smelled like straight hay. Then again.. I cut it pretty early too.. IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
All of them look clear to me. Maybe a few cloudy ones but im not too , may just be the picture/camera. Do you really need 60 or 100x? Ive been using a 30x just fine, but maybe i need something more? I live that matt, never seen one before. Let me know if it works! And whered you get it?
