I have a heat/humidity thing it's ghetto from hong kong but it's accurate good old sweat shops,
pure ak is now in it's own room the room is right next to the front door but the room is a closet designed to have a tumble dryer in so there are vents which don't let light in but have a very good air flow.. i'm going to give it half hour to an hour then see if a smell is escaping not taking any risks now!!

I have 1 oscillating fan which is being used in the tent, light is a lot closer to the other 2 plant's

The white widow x big bud buds are very good i love the look of them they are bulky and it has a nice head on it but i see what you mean it feels spongy
The other plant's buds are solid like the AK's but looking at the trichomes it could do with a few more day's but it's hairs were all the way out yesterday they are now about half way in :)

where the pure ak has lots of skinny nodes with small but leng buds on the others have fewer nodes but they are acting as good colas with powerful budsites

On sunday i will have pictures of
The pure ak as it is
The pure ak with fan leaves removed
Pure ak harvested fully
Pure ak's buds with fan leaves removed
What's left :D

And a few pictures of the other 2 plant's

Aha, i think 8 - 10 may be possible, it depends on if buds shrink when they get dried...do they shink? by much?

Buds shrink quite a lot, a good number to go on is 75% after a proper dry and cure. The 75% is right 90% of the time.

if you can get the fan to blow slightly up towards the light above the plants so it pushes the heat away, you can get the plants closer and it should build them buds up

hi mate

yes that sounds about right but till he chops, weight will not mean much
but size you will end up with and how hard the bud are will give him a better ideal

Should i completely remove buds from the stalks to dry or should i leave them on the stalk and pierce the stalks?
Click to expand...
If your drying just tie some rope at the tip of the stalk and hang them upside down. I'm not sure if piercing will make it dry out faster or something so I wouldnt recommend it. But go with what feels right to you

What parts will i get the finger hash from?

Should i hang the whole plant after cutting or the leaves off or just single branches? what difference does it make?

Saw this thread earlier buddy, looks like a very good grow room
Is that light slanted or is the angle of the camera slanted?

I think they need more magnesium but wait for jason or matchbox to give you there opinion as they know more than i do and i haven't encountered that before they might have

back indoors
i still think its heat stress because the edge of the leaves are curled up and leaf looks thin and dry but not discolor in the leaf, and the tips are not burn (over nutes)
most nute deficiency shows buy the leaves being discolored or stem has purple stripes on

hi sorry had same problem and had to fix it
to start with have you got a Digital Temperature & Humidity Meter


you need to hang it below your lights but level with the canopy
and see what it reads max and min temp/humility over 24 hours lights on and off

need to be 25c-30c lights on and 15-25 lights off, best being 27c lights on and 20c lights off
humidity 30-50 but 40-50 is best, try not to go over 50 late flower you could get bud rot

its hard to say how you can fix it, if your temps and humidity are out
because there are so many ways
to reduce temp and increase humidity

to reduce tempter
air-con
bigger fan on air cooled light,
fans blowing over canopy will reduce canopy temp but not room temp,
more air in and out of the room (increase airflow) should help a lot,

where you pull the air in from, say you have a narrow walk way between two houses like in this pic and draw the air in near the ground
you will have a lot of cool air

to increase humidity
spray the plants twice a day will help but not in late flower (bud rot)

buy a humidifier will increase the humidity, one that will use more than 3ltrs a day, small ones will not help
reducing tempter will increase humidity

you only need a small vacuum in your room, air being pulled in, if you have a fan speed controller and you turn the intake off it will reduce humidity and look like the rooms it trying to pull in, doors/plastic sheet ect
so you can use the fan speed controller to adjust the humidity a little (when lights on)

if your humidity is high when lights are off
put your intake fan on a timer so it switches off when the lights go off and if will reduce your humidity loads
if you do this make sure your room is not to air tight put a vent in or something

the first time i tried it in a air tight room it pull the black and off my wall into my light
