looks like 3-4 oz just off the top. cant wait to see how your trim and manicure come out when trying this new technique for drying.

dayummm, that's HUGE! :eyesmoke:

Sorry man, These buds were pretty wide and its been up longer then the rest, I was seeing mold and decided not to wet them and wrap them so these will be dried and cured like the rest. Gonna have to try that sweating/fermentation technique another time these are too wet as it is and I'm in for some high humidity.

thats fuckin crazy....do u chop up the cola? u couldnt cure that thing in a 10 gallon bucket
Oh yea man. I cut the real fat one's down to golf ball size nugs, need to check for mold. When I see it I cut it out. Sometimes there's nothing left of the nug, Sometimes I can save half or so but yea, I cut that up after the pic. The others that are hanging should be ok, I trimmed between the buds to get some airflow. we'll see.

I got some humidity issues today, figured I would with this weather. Its 80% RH and 68° in there today.
So I added my small dehumidifier I use in my cab and increased the air movement but I really don't think that will do much. I been checking craigslist for a larger one but no luck. Its suppose to be sunny this week. If it dont dry up by tomorrow I will have to break down and buy a new one. I hope not, I really don't have the money for it right now.

I hear ya, I couldnt believe it when I was taking her down. I'm like no way. But yea, I gotta get a pic of this.

You know it's a cross between Super silver haze and blueberry, yours sure looks more like Super silver than blueberry. Maybe try the largest picture setting with macro, keep the lends about 2 inches away and very still. Then crop and re size the photo
Yea I knew the cross and I have to agree she does look closer to her Haze parent for sure. The smell is smack in the middle though..Her kief is fucking wicked all together. The taste is fruity as hell and strong to boot. Definately some complex terpene action going on. If there was a concentrate I HAD to have for the rest of my life it could be from Blue Dream..
I've tried increasing the photo size on my camera but when I get up to the second largest picture quality it's too big for RIU. What I think I'll do is use the highest quality setting I can get away with and crop and resize like you're saying. The edit you did is wayyy closer and I like it but I want to make it less grainy than that. Is there a way I can get in that close and get rid of the grainy look without increasing my resolution?

take picture at highest resolution, crop if excess from side, then resize to 800x600 for RIU's limit. they look better and upload faster than if RIU resizes them.

Just move more air Cruzer. I dry and cure just fine in this coastal weather without a dehumidifier. Never had mold , either. Right now it's sunny and we have 61% RH..I'll bet by the time it's dark tonight it'll be up at 70-80% easy.. Try breaking down your branches into smaller sections and moving more air. Also try mounting your intake(s) to the drying area towards the top of the space and exhaust at the lower portion. The warmer, dryer air in our homes is always at the ceiling so why not use it to your advantage? It may not make all the difference but a combination of things will do the trick. Just think of it this way : don't stress over what the RH says constantly. So long as your buds are drying suitably and you don't find mold it's all ok. We have become slaves to our gauges my man.

You guys prefer 800 by 600?
I thought 700 pic wide was the best fit for 1024 res.
OK, 800 by 600 it is. It's easier anyway.

I got a shot of a bud I took off blue cheese a week ago and dried it.
So this is whats drying now. Havent tried it yet.




Yea Howzer, I hear ya about the RH, I did all I can do for now.


So today I go out there to find my door is swollen shut. Fuck, I forgot to paint it.
Had to go through a side panel.





My buddy didn't show so I'll get started on the roof tomorrow. I should be able to do it myself. Just take my time. No biggie really, I got started on the hydro, got it hung and holes cut with 3" net pots. Res is ready I just gotta plumb it.




Here is the nute res.



I'm thinking 1/2 in flexible tubing for fill and drain, cut the tubing so it will reach then move the res away when I lower it.
Or just loop it I guess. wadda ya think?

how do the light cycles work during the winter? haha i didn't even know you could grow outside during the winter? i thought you would need like a all year around strain or whatever?

you have to do all your vegging indoors then move them outside. its a tricky situation but living in cali makes it a lot easier.

Yea, got it cleaned out and lower vents sealed on the back wall. Just need a roof.
Still need to spray it down with something though, cant decide on what to use.

Ha! Na man, leave the fence. Its got a job to do. Steal your neighbors.
I figured this journal will end at the end of this flower. Should be around Christmas then I will start 2011 and be sure to leave link.

Yea it does. I got screwed up and converted the cabs to dry with so I dont have anything going this round. Gotta see if I can get some teens in one inch rockwoll or bare root. Those are three inch pots but the larger cube will get soaked without some hydroton around it.

ah i see i see, i bet the whole plant turns purple hahaha
Well they might. Depends on how well I can control the temps.

looks real cool cruzer!!

i thought RIU had an 800x600 limit, but i checked and it is 800x800. i wish it had 1024x768 size limit cause that is a good size
