Well I ordered from Mephisto and got the Alien Vs Triangle F2. I threw away the Afghan Kush Ryder from World Of Seeds, and not waste my time with them. The other wos seeds are probably bad too. Mephisto sure has good review's.
Wish me luck on Mephisto ….
You will be much happier with those beans. I always thought autos were complete shit tbh but I grew some mephisto grape crinkle and 3 Bears og outdoors and was pleasantly suprised.

Yeah, so with you using LED it doesn't make much difference. But with the standard grower its a rule that seems to have been forgotten.
The temps that are most often talked about and most vital are the air temps, so you would measure it in shade and with well mixed air, its often stated above the light line, but just as well in a shaded area where air is not stale, you could get a difference in air temp from lower to higher in a situation where air is not been moved.
Anyhow the idea is to have something like a Stephenson screen, which reads air temp without interference from light radiation.

The reason we measure air temp that way is too be reasonably accurate, we can use our hand to measure radiant heat (again this is more specific to HID lighting). Plants have a low tolerance to high air temps, it greatly impedes performance, but radiant heat is different, plants can take almost double in radiant heat, some over 50degrees C depending on cultivar. So we use our hand at canopy to measure radiant heat and if you can hold your hand there its a pass. Obviously its a crude way of judging but it works as a rough guide.

I've seen plenty of folks panic and prepare to give up over the years because they had a 600w HPS in a 4x4 and a black hygrometer at canopy level and cant figure out why they are running at 95f no matter how much extraction they are using. Luckily most hygrometers are white so the effect is lessened, but it still throws off the readings and the dialing in of the environment.
Someone may think they want to run at 74f yet could actually be running at 69f and wondering why plants are not transpiring properly or why they have slow growth and a calcium deficiency and root problems.

That's my 2cents anyhow, excuse my rambling. :bigjoint:
See the difference in an proper explanation vs being confrontational. This makes sense and accounts for why I get fair readings at or below canopy height with LED and why a different approach is needed with HID.

The Alien Rift and Jawa Kush from Lumberjack are all sprouted and just starting the third set of true leaves. I hope they are good? Only time will tell. I won’t be harvesting them until fall so plenty of time lol. Should be bushier than my first girlfriend !

What? Why not explain then where to place the sensors? You say that putting them below the light is wrong but don’t explain what is right, I’m waiting for my lesson... I have always be under the assumption that I want to know the ambient temp in the room at plant level? The plant is not above the light, why would I want to put my temp sensor where all the heat collects? That can be very different from canopy. Again I could be wrong here so can somebody give me a straight answer without all the hostility?
Corey gets it and has explained although cmh, led, hps makes no difference its all radiation we dont want to read for airctemps.

The lesson isnt my lesson, its how the met office reads air temps or how we take any air temp reading in science or discipline. Why troll any other answer and why do i need to have to write it for the n'th time on this board - no one catching on! :-)

If I hang a hymidity in my drying closet, and the humidity gets to 62, do I put it in jars then?
Best idea is to ignore humidity and not jar your harvest. Simply dry, jarring is an extra uneeded step.

Weed takes a few days more like a week to dry, find a room in your house where that hapoens and leave for two. You now have bud, the rest you work out with your own practice and future discussion once you learn the simple dry technique.

Most commercial bud aint cured just dry and its still dank ass, this should really make you think twice on all this cure shite and simply dry and get motherf&%#ng high.

Quality comes with practice, simoly oroducing dry bud is lesson no 1 of RiU club :-)

Thanks Kingrow1, so you don't use jars, so what do you keep the weed in?
Ya i use jars if it needs storing but mainly its sold or smoked too quick.

The point was to teach you how to dry not confuse you with all the other supposedly superior and fine tuned methods.

The best info i give is to fogrt curing and learn only to dry for you new folk. Long term youll reach pro level quicker with the simple advice.

Ya you need to find a good place to dry and trial and error but its not hard and what most of us do, hang, dry and smoke.

Site sucks for troll info, dry weed like any herb thats hung dry, no need to cure its ready when dry simples :-)
 
kingrow you are very knowledgable llama on this site. punjabi and bangladesh say hello to you. kind sit what is the best method for me being a beginner to dry my herbs. i have grow tent, should i just hang in grow tent? hunidity is very low here in punjab right now. i want you to see my youtube station i will post video of my holy basil

thank you in advance my kind friend. GROWNMAN420420

The jar thing is intended to stabilize the moisture content of the bud. When you hang dope, it dries from the outside in, the sugar leaves get crispy and the center of the bud still has moisture. By taking mostly dried bud and burping it in jars it allows the humidity in the jar to spread uniformly throughout the buds. You burp the jars to release excess moisture. Eventually your bud will have a more homogeneous moisture content. The only thing worse than shitty pot is good pot improperly cured.

No grasshopper you are wrong, the jar is there so weed dried to below leveks of possible mold can be stored long term without molding.

I and this site differ on key points plus im saying my way is much better easier and the truth not your bs about burping and evening moisture lol never heard such bollocks, weed not rocket science, why make drying somthing so stupid when you can just leave it to dry and jar when it releases no futher noisture and hence wont mold after six months in a jar.


You simply dont know how to dry weed properly yet because real growers are a lot rarer than he trolls here :-)

Youyst try different methods and work out whats the best. First just hang indoors somewhete shafed and that gets air for a week then enjoy the smoke.

Everyones climate is different but indoors if you hang stuff it should dry no matter ehere you are.

Once you have a basic dry you can experiment more. If you jar even slightly damp weed you never let it dry enoigh.

Good luck :-)

So why would you worry about mold if you say you have dried it below the level where it could mold? That makes about as much sense as the rest of your writing. This thing I say about homogeneous weed is not coming from me, I gleaned this info from other sources. I have used it and notice a difference in my bud. If that were not the case we could just throw our dry dope in a paper bag! It won’t mold there but it will turn into bone dry garbage and smoke super harsh! You do want to maintain a certain degree of moisture in your dope man. It’s no different than cigars and humidors. Dispute that and I’ll call you a liar bold faced.
