Hell Yeah Cruzer,
been a hell of a grow. I real glad to have found your threads. the journal of building your greenhouse has helped me to avoid some potential design problems I was trying to figure out. It pays to read through the threads.
Thanks

No problem man, Yea, I admit, I scan for pics too, If I like what I see then I go back and read. Don't know what I'm missing.

Yea, when I started this I searched for greenhouse grows here and most of what I found was greenhouse seeds in a grow. This is just a small 8x12 structure I'm sure there are some real ones out there but thanks, yea this will work for me.

Sure I follow both journals so build questions I can answer there and grow questions here.

Ha! better luck next time WOW.

So I went into the shed and checked on the girls hanging, temps been about 75 daytime and 55° at night. Humidity, 40% daytime 60 to 70% at night. I might add a heater in there to keep it down during the night.

I noticed the mites were giving up and climbing to the tip of the cut so I removed that portion and re-hung them.







So it was good that I didn't gas them.
I didnt look real close but by glancing I dont see any mites on the buds now.

It doesnt look like I need to worry about mold cause as they are drying its creating small pockets where air can travel. I purposely left more leaf on the blueberry to test the ability of the plant to ripen. After reading riddleme's journal and his fermentation chamber it made sense to me that the plant draws the left over nitrogen from the leaf as it cures and helps ripen the trichomes. Seems to be working and the blueberry has more amber trichs then the Casey Jones. From now on I will only remove the large fan leaf and excess stalk. I have been manicuring the buds before the dry. The next level is to try the fermentation style and wet them down before cutting and leave all the fan leaf.

I used to fully trim right off the plant then dry but Im trying the same thing only cutting the large fan leaves that have visible stems then leaving the rest to absorb the N out and I gotta say that my outdoor buds are lookin just as good as my last indoor batch

:weed:

Its nice seeing experienced growers remaining open minded to new techniques. Riddleme has been here about a year, and while he has a lot of people that follow hiS ramblings, I continue to read people doing the old fashioned stuff. A good deal of his ramblings and research make sense if you put thought into it. I wish I had the space to try a lot more of his techniques, but NC will be legal in the next few years, and hopefully I can legally medicate for my pain and get to try this cool stuff too!

Those mites are nuts all gathered round like that, I say take 'em in the yard and set a magnifying glass over them, for all the trouble they put you through!!

thats whats up ive always been taught to trim after u dry...ony untill i cam to this site did i see people doin it be4 the dry...i leave everything! i dont cut a leaf off...they all wrap around the buds and almost put then in a cucoon..i love it it sometimes extends drying by a day or two but the slower u dry (without it molding) the better anyway.. the def seem to ripen more as well idk im sure u will be pleased with leaving the leaves on..y do u cut off fan leaves? i mean u might as well leave them there as well...it not like its harder to cut em wen the tree is dry...some times u can just pop em off easy wen dry...but dont pull to hard cuz if it aint poppin off most likely it will strip stalk down the strem takin out whate evers under it lol...but yea y not leave em all?

are you still up for swaping 8ths, honestly ill even go first, i trust you..
gods gift is not done yet, but the lavender has been curing for about 2 weeks almost.
and it is tasty, and stoney, but yet entergetic high, really gives you the warm feeling, and the crash is real clean.
buzz legnth about 2 hours. has a purple yet very hashy after taste, very rewarding skunk scent.
lots of resin coating the leaves and buds.
dense over all nugs. each top weights just under a quarter.
i could give you an exellent descripion on you buds, trust it. but like i said id even go first.

I hear ya.
cluster-fucked good description for them. Some were going down the string but most just made a pile.

Yea, I knew people hung without taking the fan leaf but I thought it was just easier. I take them and trim/hang then cut off the nugs into a jar. In the jar it ripens. Got used to doing it that way. Guess I'll see the difference first hand.

I bet you could give an excellent description of the meds.
Sure, if we could meet in the Bay area I'm down with it.

The buds in the shed have been hanging for about 5 days now. Been a pretty good temp and humidity swing from day to night 75 to 80° day 40% humidity and 55 to 60° night with 60 to 65% humidity. I bet if I put a little heater in there at night I could fix that.

Anyway, it sounds within range. Heres a couple shots from today,

Casey Jones,




Blueberry,






I got that fan pointing down on low. Moves the air around pretty good.



Oh, cant forget the guard dog.



The forever vigilant canine... Max.​

Good job cruz :-) Max is getting gigantic lol!
My only concern is the drying temp and rh, I just dont want to see the final product not reflect all your hard work and time. IMO drying and curing are just as big of a factor as the seedling/clone, veg, and flower stage. Even tho you cut the plants down the job isn't over yet. You still have that a/c unit you can use to control temp during the day along with a heater to control night temps and pick up a humidifier or dehumidifier to completely control rh if you don't have one already. I'v enjoyed watching you grow these beauties out to the max and just dont want to see your final product end up being okay instead of some incredible smooth meds that are enjoyable to smoke.
Sorry for the rant I just want you to have the best bud you can make...

No rant at all man. I do this to get opinions, I'm no pro at this.

Your right. I just went and dug up a heater I have that's thermostatically controlled and put it in there for tonight to maintain the temps. That should stabilize the humidity somewhat too. starting at 76° 40% I'll check it in a while.

Thanks man.
