It's not the weed. It's the chlorophyll. Old folks was right. It's worth the wait. Except the getting to be old folks part. LOL. Good day.

Nail on the head brother!
Yes after a couple years of growing I learned let all my leaves (fan and mids) naturally fade out, essentially naturally expelling the chlorophyll, Yes? Anyway and always since, my buds are some of the best I ever smoked. And I grow it myself!!Blue Gelato 41 spring light dep 2020

I absolutely agree. Whoever said homegrown wasn’t good isint doing it right. A good cure goes a long way too. Something many large Licensed Producers have completely forgoneNail on the head brother!

haha. Yeah growmie go big or go home! I see lots of jar burping in ur future. I rigged these up this summer. Save my wrist! And time. It auto burping on a timer. Rh/temp sensor on top of lid. I made lids for mason jars, 1.25 gal buckets and 5 gal gamma lids with em too

That's badass.. please give directions for build, so I can just put it on my home screen on my phone.

That is sweet. I'm old school. I go by actual RH inside and out to do the math on when and how long. I know what I get in the end. Maybe 6 weeks or 12 months to get it right. Automation defeats the purpose for me. And lowers the end quality. But love the set up and thought as well as skill.

Nice. Hope you took notes. Because you need to increase the rates next run. Good first run.

I can’t take credit for the auto burping that was Derek Gilman aka the Bob Ross of cannabis! Here is a YouTube vidThat's badass.. please give directions for build, so I can just put it on my home screen on my phone.
as for the lids, I used plastic lids for mason jars. I never tried with the metal lids the jars come with.
So buy lids or food grade buckets with lids or gamma lids and 5 gal buckets for 1-2lbs. Either lid you choose the process is the same.
you will need:
Lids (Walmart/Amazon)
Rh/temp sensors (Amazon or Ali baba/Ali express/wish)
Hole saw (not sure what size, get sensor first!)
File (to make hole bigger if need be)
Super glue (for outside lid)
Fish tank silicone (for inside lid)
sensor on large wide mouth lid
materials
hole saw, regular lids, wide mouth lids with cut holes
Super glue underside of outside rim of sensor and pop in
fish tank silicone on inside of lid. It cures fast and I figure if it doesn’t leech out into a fish tank filled with water and kill fish it should be ok once cured. Fish are sensitive
and fuck yo wine rack! I use a ghetto IKEA shoe rack to see all the sensors

Thank you very much its been interesting to see how a plant can respond so quickly to your input and how you care for them. What do you mean by rates btw?

Thanks, I’m just trying it Out. I have the sensors on every bucket I can turn on or off any valve to any bucket. If one is higher or lower I can adjust valves for air flow I can get all my buckets within 1rh of each other. I still monitor daily I just don’t need to open 67 jars. As with mason jars the burping tapers off as time goes and yes sometimes it does take months to get the rh and feel where I like it. IMHO automation is not synonymous with lower end quality. That comes down to care and consistency. Automation can help the latter. But I do agree it can be a “lazy” trap for some. I also try to avoid boost/rh packs and use chucks of stems from the plant itself to add humidity if need be. I only automated it because I grew my outdoor in 30gal fabric pots and had way too much to jar. So I figured I would try it.
