Good afternoon all, how is everyone?
@Lemon king yes that was salmon they were poaching.
10,000s of eggs gone through 2 planks, the river is only just recovering after years of coal mining near wiped it out.

I couldn't agree more matey, i noticed a while back there's no skull dickery, there's no one wants/tries to twist your words around just to be a smart ass etc, yeah its a pleasant thread to visit.
Its why i just browse it occasionally and i dont post there its ok for some info but its far from ideal

When I checked on them the next day they hadn't changed.So... i got it harvest today, the net above the canopy to hang them works out great, I've never had them so well spaced

After checking out the humidity i decided I'd take the fan leafs off.

It's 23-24c in the tent and I've the dehumidifier coming on around 74-75% bringing it back down to 66-67%
The extraction fan is only ticking over ultra slow and continuous, I've a oscillating fans on the floor and one above the buds just enough to keep air on the move.
So i thought about my whole process and made a few changes which I'll continue with in future.
1st, the moisture in the dehumidifier idk where it was coming from, was the fan pulling it in or was it off the weed?
Moving forward... Unplug the ducting from the outlet and re circulate it back into the room, in theory at least if i control the humidity i control the drying period regardless of the temperature, i think?
So I set the dehumidifier to come on at 66-67% and lower it to 59-60%.
The minimum hysteresis is 7-8% which is ok when it's pretty wet but the peaks and dips are starting to get longer... So I got my cycle timer and have that set for 3 minutes on and 12 minutes of and that's keeping the humidity between 60/61- 63-64%, I've the tent sealed so i know now that the moisture is from the bud.
When I harvested i left a larfy branch at the door, this morning it's feels dry to touch but its still soft and pliable.
For drying i prefer a medium size grow tent just for this purpose a decent pc fan for the intake a small squirrel cage type fan on low pointed at the ground so not to mess with the drying speed of the buds but helps with circulation i just hang it on string or fishing line lol off of coat hangers this way i can use a carbon filter on the out of the tent and u dont really smell it unless the tents open too works for me pretty good

I'd like to have space for a dedicated drying tent but for now I need to use my flowering tent which robs me out of a couple of weeks for my next.
Lol after I 1st made the changes to recirculate into the room I went back in 15 minutes later and it was reeking, awe naw I thought, thankfully I'd forgotten to turn on the fan to pull it through the filter.
After an hour it was fine, also after being out i went into the room 1st and I can't smell anything at all.
After turning off the extractor fan i got out my 5" rhino fan and filter and sat it in the room just to mop up anything that leeks out.
I've looked a number of times for a squirrel cage type fan but I can't find them in the UK, they look perfect for a tent.
That's the square one that looks like it could hang it on the wall?
Thats the bigger type ones it also just means the wee ones too i think just cos looks like a cage ig

Last feed for the big girls before harvest (probably 6 weeks away maybe 5)
not to blow my own trumpet but this is the best job of training I’ve ever done, literally every bit of space is filled with 16-18inch branches that were just little nodes 6 weeks ago, expecting maybe a record yield in this space on this run.
I’ve just gave them a mix of ecothrive life cycle, mealworm frass, kelp meal, palm tree ash, bat guano and aloe vera which will hopefully see them til the end

@Star Dog I’ve got a 5 inch rhino fan and filter that I drag around the house with me when I’m smoking pipes, I literally blow the smoke into the filter and no one would ever know haha
they should make a 36v cordless one haha
I think squirrel cage fans are the ones with the blades that look like a hamster wheel, loads of small flat blades, similar to those wooden box fans thatevery grow shop had in for a while

Yh that's all it is ..... higher percentage than the old rapid rooter and clonex style just cut a branch place it and turn on the plug roots within 10 days fingers crossed

I’ve never had one of these so can’t say mate but I deffo feel for you with the cloning problems, for years I got by with less than 10% success, last couple runs nearly all of them have worked though in root riot cubes, I allways used to push them all the way to the bottom of the cubes, now just 10mm ish, and not as much light these days. Hope it helps you out mate cos it’s the worst feeling in the world loosing ur genetics

Yh I'm hoping it's just a set it and forget it in corner of the tent away from immediate light .... using a proper gator and having to make sure there's moisture in there the root riots have some in them also buyin the clonex spray the clonex gel forget about them one day and it dries out the clone is dead ...... I've now got a small tent and a marshydro ts600 to keep genetics under so I'm in a better place than last year find some keepers from popping some beans I need nowI’ve never had one of these so can’t say mate but I deffo feel for you with the cloning problems, for years I got by with less than 10% success, last couple runs nearly all of them have worked though in root riot cubes, I allways used to push them all the way to the bottom of the cubes, now just 10mm ish, and not as much light these days.
