Just plugged in my dehumidifier! I can now breathe a sigh of relief!


It goes down to 30% RH (lower than I could get it to) ... which isn't bad at all! I can also adjust it to maintain whatever humidity I like (great for drying)


Well. I'm glad to say I got this thing. Moisture control isn't something I was thinking about but now next grow I will have perfect air moisture levels!

Day 72 [bookmark]
78F.......32% RH :)

So all my trichomes are turning MILKY white... on the first plant


Ill flush the second sativa pheno plant tomorrow, and continue with normal h2o for the first hybrid pheno.


Any day now until harvest on the first phenotype.



Also is it just me or does shit ALWAYS come up when your planning on harvesting or flushing? I swear!

Ill be posting lights off pictures TONIGHT and you guys can guess how much longer :lol: as will I :peace:

Day 72 lights off












hi res cropped trich zooms






All the trichs on the calyxes are looking white to me... peaking in potency... nice round heads.. looking good

Now I wait a few more days for about 15% to go amber, and I chop.... I want a little amber to get a nice rounded out full body high.. I'm sure the other sativa will be heady enough..

Any guesses on a chop date? I'm going to say 3 more full days of light, as a fun not thought out guess... that lands it on day 75 for chop.


I water tomorrow, and need to flush the sativa in back, real quick! It's making some fast progress :lol: i don't want to flush too late.
Probably going to run like 3 gal of clean water through it... let it sit for 10 min after the first gallon..

Daymn looks good man! I like to chop my sativas when they have only 20% or so white hairs left, so in my opinion you're getting suuuper close ;)

Day 73

They continue to look better and better


Just flushed the sativa with 3 gal h2o.... and watered the other [hybrid pheno] one with 2 gal h2o.... i figure another rinse cant hurt..


On the very developed hybrid, most of the leaves on the colas have fallen off or yellowed.... Really lets the whole cola get some more light... gotta dig that flushing they are on day 8 of plain water I think. I hope in the next few days all the green in the leaves gets used up and I don't have to trim so much :lol:


The sativa is looking AMAZING!!!! Solid as a rock calyxes covered in trichomes.. like bathed in trichs.


I think the dehumidifer is working OK, humidity hovers around 41 with everything closed up... I'm airing everything else out now to get it down to 30% or so.. The plants seem to be pumping out more resin with the addition of the dehumidifier, or perhaps that is just the late effects of the flowering cycle!





Photos that I took today will be up tonight

You have some patience Sr! Agh, the last few days are always pretty hard for me. Lookin forward to some Harv pics!
:lol: I know what you mean, it's tough... worth it though! I'm just letting them chill out & maintaining temps and humidity... I don't have to worry about feeding any more, just plucking off the yellowed leaves ;)

I bought some like metal rack things that I can stack on top of one another... each wire is about an inch apart... I hope the nuggets don't fall through :lol:

I can't find any small scale drying racks or whatever... just the big ass ones you hang.. not trying to hang a bunch of weed around the house :lol:




Clean pics bro! Nothing but fat heads in there huh lol.

Thanks man!

Pretty much just fat heads and small stems :lol: ....... I wonder what the colas would have been like if I didn't have to top @ day 16 flower! Oh well at least I got some reallllly good head stash! And thank god it's sensi and not seeded!

amazing grow Sr. Verde when are you planning on chopping that bitch down LOL :)

Not sure... At this point I will be just checking it every day to see when some trichs start turning amber, then I will take it around 15-20% amber.... maybe more..... I want this nug to be some FULL body/mind shit... This hybrid pheno.... The sativa should be plenty heady and I really like the 'medication' effect of some fine cannabis. Helps soothe muscles and back pains if you let some more THC degrade to CBN/CBD

Looks good. I got the cool tube in the mail and I think it is too wide for your tent. I didn't measure it but it is the same as my other one, so my guess is it is too wide. No I have to look into getting a ballast to get it up and going!

Darn! I think I need to get a 3x3x6 before I plug in the cool tube and 400w LOL... this other person on here has a 400w cool tube in a 2x2x5 ! I have no idea how though :lol:






Day 76 today [bookmark]


The hybrid pheno up front still has opaque trichome heads.... not seeing ANY amber on the calyxes yet at alllll... Crazy long flower!

I really have no idea when it will be done, could be a few days could be another week! Just gotta wait for that amber...

On another note, a lot of the pistils are receeding back into the bud, so it's chugging along the trichomes are just slow to turn I guess..


The sativa in back is turning pistils now, probably at 50% turned 50% new...... at day 76 flower! WOW! :lol:


Glad I have some time with this one, shit I could take it to day 90 if I wanted... I have enough weed and time to see what happens ;)
