so, i keep the house at 67f. this lets me run some dehumidifiers and still keep the lung room under 70f. and rh is from 45 to 55%. this humidity issue causes a lot of temperature fluctuations…a dehumidifier gets really hot.
i keep the jars from past grows in a drawer in the same room. perfect temp and humidity for long term storage.
basically my GF has a devil may care attitude toward everything when she is in bitch mode and eventually tries to set the thermostat to well over 70. i usually wake up to a hot house and all my jars have moved from 57% to 63% overnight. usually when this happens I lose an entire jar to mildew ( the sour smell) and the other jars lose their terps or get a funny smell too.
this really sucks after growing for 5 months per batch and then paying to keep the house at a certain temp all year…just to have one night mess up everything.
this is also meds my famiy uses. it’s not just for me…i can’t just throw it out and abstain.
how do I stop this?
get a new GF…i know i know. lol.
the humidity packs don’t seem to really do the trick. is this what others do and it’s working?
just give up on keeping anything for long.
buy a stupidly overpriced cannatrol because i have a damn monkey in my house. tried to get rid of said monkey, respone was you beat me and I will call the cops on your grow…classic…been here like 10 times. ladies…if you are out there…why are so many of you doing this? it’s almost 100% of you in my feeble sample.
move far away, leave GF and go somewhere the temp is always lower and the humidty does not fluctuate in a single day from 35% to 100% or 40f to 95f outside …yes it sucks that bad.
curious to see what the OG has to offer in these scenarios?
the consequence of instant death by society due to what a woman can get away with here is quite the deterrent to getting a new one. i would be happy with none at all…can’t get there.
sorry, those meter…the ones i have seem to be off by 2 to 5%. if i hold jars at 62 i get mildew or just regular white mold if the temp goes high too. i lost a jar some years ago even with a boveda in it…was 62% on the meter. best bud i have is 56 in the jar. it’s sticky and isn’t aging. the other bud, higher than that is getting that old bud thing going.
so, i had some buddies freeze it and it didn’t turn out well…got pretty weird looking.
another dude keep his stuff in a wine fridge, but every time he gives me some it gets a mildew smell a day or so later when stored at room temperature after being refrigerated. is there a way to avoid tha? i think it is condensation.
As for the GF. Start taking her out to the clubs, introduce her to every asshole you know. Especially the young bucks with nice cars and a good job. If they have a man bun they double deserve it.
Or send her and a friend on a mini vacation. Be gone on her return.
Iv done both in my younger days. First left as soon as a better deal appeared ( i was devastated . Hide from the second.
i’d stop growing and clean up really good for a week or so, kick her the hell out, and just not grown until after the raid comes. they tend not to like embarrassing themselves after the first one if you make enough of a stink about it. get a decent lawyer and a good payout and that guarantees they never come back and you lose the girl. maybe give an “anonymous tip” after the first bust/lawsuit to see if they do come back.
Dont want to pay 1700 bucks, do used mini fridge, 100 buck food vac sealer. Bring bud to 58% , vac seal in Mason, into mini fridge. Will hold stable % that way, i do some here that way…
Not sure what the flag was about. 3/4 of the OP was about, not keeping jars stable, but his troubled relationship with his “monkey” of a GF. I’m assuming someone was too stoned and stupid to realize that this meme was not off-topic rambling, but was a recommendation to dump her ass because he doesn’t need her. If you don’t actually love each other, sex toys do a better job.
I keep all my sealed packages in an igloo cooler in the coolest part of my house. The insulation protects against sudden or extreme fluctuations and there are igloos with built-in AC if you live where its always hot. A used mini fridge from Craigslist would work in a cinch
. Hide from the second.
