600w Indoor 4x4 Tent

Okay I got a couple mins to get this down on paper so to say. The water cured plant is still drying. I took it out of the dehydrator because I felt it was too rough to be completely finished when I did up the Sweet Dwarf this way. The yield on water cured bud is right around 20% so I'll actually be happy with about 9 or 10 grams. Perhaps I'll end up with a little more since I am slowing down the drying here at the end.

First couple pics are all of the same plant. The picture of the bud on the stem is one Diesel Ryder and then the picture with the lighter is the other Diesel Ryder. Like I said both had a wet yield of 40 grams (41.92 on one and 38.xx on the other).


I gotta do a refresh reader on the air dry cure. Currently I have the buds in a paper bag. I think I need to put them in a glass jar and start burping in another day or two....? Not real sure, any suggestions on "when to put in jars" would help alot guys

Temps in the tent got a little out of hand today. Little upset about that right now. I think the girls will bounce back. Gave them a nice feed. We'll see in the A.M I guess. I'll post dry weight of the water cure when I'm with these buds.

Just when they're dry. Use the stem test, take the stem at a few places and see if it'll break (not bend).

Here's a little tutorial:

"between 65 and 75 degrees for air temp
humidity from 45% to 55%
65F will mean slow drying, 75F means a little faster drying."

hope the buds drying out well

Well not too much is going on right now, the big bang and coffee are fighting for who's gonna be next to come down. I did kick the lights back down to 12/12 on Monday and rearranged the tent to put her in the middle right under the light. I'll post some pictures tonight, just been busy with school, cutting into my play time big-time. Smoked some of the air cure diesel, ended up with a little over 9 grams dried. I think once I get my tent cleared out I am going to start doing some regular stained fem seeds I have. These autos just aren't making the weight cut. This might be due to my inexperience, either way gonna try these freebies I got next go around.

Autos are meant for 20+ hours of light, dropping to 12/12 all the time is probably what's hurting your yield. But then again, I haven't grown them.

Both diesels, and the sweet dwarf were under 18/6. Most seemed agree that this is an acceptable light scheme to run auto's under. The remaining autos all have from approx 2 days to a week and a half to go. I don't think they are gonna miss out on much.

A lot can happen in a week and a half though. How'd that diesel smoke?

Alright. Been super busy sorry guys. Coffee Ryder got chopped and is air curing. its in jars, expecting about a half oz. Smells awesome, loaded with hairs. Bag appeal is nice.

Okay the orange buckets you see are some of the air root pruning buckets I saw in Hobbes. The strawberry cough got transplanted into it and tied down. Keeping a close eye on her to see how she takes everything. I got big expectations from her.

The other autos are all getting a nice flush and will be finishing in roughly a week. Gonna try doing a couple seeds straight 12/12 from the gate. The tents looking empty for my liking, figure why not give it a shot.

Nice. +rep

Alright sorry for being awol if anyone was still following. Heres the past weeks and what happened.

-Ran through maybe 3 or 4 autos that I've already cut. Missed pictures of them all together.

-Chopped the first half of the SC July 31st and the second half I took down today. Got about 3-4 oz all said. Not thrilled, but she was my first and I def stressed her enough. Was a good learner. Smoke was amazing. Very hard to trim...very loose sativa buds unlike some of the indica compact buds I've had. Some of the bud tops developed some purple, which was awesome. Found 1 seed....she might live on after all.

-Okay and lastly today I took a dive and built a RDWC system. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I think maybe I need a bigger pump or maybe the round air stones (everyones given them awesome reviews). I'm not sure what the problem is but I feel like I def need more bubbles. The pump I got is a Tera Whisper Air Pump. Claims it can handle 30-60 gal tanks. My rez tank is 17 gal and then the two buckets....I would think I should be okay but maybe not. Either way its got two air ports. I hope the vid loads if it does I'd like to get some feedback on what they think about the stone/pump issue.

Made some very dank oil last night as well. Best oil I've made.

-Lights are back up to 18/6. Hope to introduce the DWC on Friday, I still need to get the hydroton. Also let me get this right...I germinate the seed in paper towels, then place the seed into one of those moist rockwool blocks and then let them rock out in the blocks until the roots come thru the bottom? Also am I sitting this block in water the whole time? watering it every so often like its dirt? Need some help. Thanks guys. Heres the pics...
