Fair enough. I’m using LEDs now in a hot and humid environment and I’ve still had some bud rot. I used to grow in a cold and damp environment with hps and my basement became the most comfortable space in the house. I found that hps gave off a lot of radiant dry heat therefore raising the dew point and lowering humidity. I think as long as there is constant air movement it’s hard for pm or rot to take hold.

Thats my main problem in the 2x4 and having no upper fans. All was beautiful last grow… until harvest revealed fairly new mold in upper rear colas.
I do have the big box fan blowing down to create a bit of movement on those colas. Not nearly as much as I would like, or I feel they need.
I’m planning to pick up at least one of these for my tent(s):
They’re actually designed to be able to sit horizontally, unlike most tower fans.
Vornado also has some low profile “window fans” that might be an option for up top.
I tried, but no room in the 2x2
Bud on 10/21/22 - Bit high RH. Back into Cannatrol…
Bud on 10/23/22 Bit too low RH. Shoulda checked Tuesday evening. Oh well
Here they are, all shrunken down…
Compared to what they were a week ago…October 17th into Cannatrol
Got right around an Eighth out of Ol Yella Cola Not bad for a cola that was pretty much dead.
6 full days in Cannatrol at defaults, but extended to 8 Day Dry Cycle. Shoulda been only 5 days. With this small amount, things happen faster.
Vaped some in the DaVinci this morning on way to work, and very tasty! Decent hit to it, but definitely still finding its way.
Makes me very excited for whats to come during the REAL harvest
Sad to see that she didnt heal up and produce, but at least I got something from her. Her sister colas will likely harvest next weekend. Dont think they are ready yet.
Smoke report
Very smooth, with no itchyness even toward the end of the blunt we all shared at lunch.
Hard to tell about the taste, due to the tobacco leaf nature of the blunt. Smell from container after opened is fairly spicy, but doesnt come across when vaping. Vaping pulls “fruity” on exhale and aftertaste
While Joe broke down some buds and rolled the blunt, he remarked how dense it is. For sure.
Looks leafy, and a bit loose… but upon squeezing and beaking bud open, you notice it.
Guys at the shop (those who partake) really liked it. Smoking it hit me very well and quickly to the temples. A bit faster to fade than average, but this is a stunted bud, that hasnt even been properly cured, etc - and just happy to get anything from her!
Fruity taste when I vaped it this morning prior to work. The rest will be better, Im sure!
The colas still in the tent worry me. They are super-moist and are going to be dense as fuck, I think. My worry is, of course possible mold and letting this plant go another week. LSD plant was similar, and had mold on a few colas. Ive upped my fan game a bit, so hopefully we’ll be fine
Ive also been sure to not ROAST this plant the way I did LSD toward the end. Think some Terpenes were burnt off.
Either way, mold and PM a real worry.
If this stunted bud is any indication of whats to come , I cant wait…
This shits gonna be good
yeah, it’s amazing what a little (more) time can accomplish; ok weed turns into the best smoke you ever had. had a good 20 gram pot escape on me for a year (or more, not even sure) that turned into “the smoke of legends”
be nice
A few Trichome shots before we go out for Trunk or Treat!
I’m really torn between harvesting this weekend or waiting another week until the end of week 9.
Lots of Trick or Treaters at the Trunk or Treat last night, and everyone had a great time!
We rolled another Powie Pineapple blunt, and great reactions! I was told if this is the stunted stuff, they’re almost scared of the great stuff that’s left in the tent, LOL.
Once again, a super smooth smoke and a definite crowd pleaser
Even Stanlee put on a scary face
I’d wait that extra week, looking really good
Committed to next weekend last night. My only worry is mold.
I hear ya mate. round here, this time of year, my dehumidifiers draw more juice than my lights. but hell it’s worth it in dry grams!
and to bring such a well laden harvest to a just end, I mean…
be nice
I’d be concerned for mold too.theres a good bit of clear heads in those pics though. Do you have some clip fans you could put in the corners to create a bit of a vortex at canopy level?
I’m sure either way you’ll be pleased with the smoke but if you can squeeze that little extra time it would be worth it in my humble opinion anyway.
Got a little bit of my buddy’s weed that he harvested Thursday evening. He already started it drying at 60% relative humidity and 70°. Got it in the Cannatrol for an 8-day run
Put it on a 10-day dry cycle, but I’m sure it will be done before then. Using some non-traditional settings
Stanlee - Candy and Teddy (my dogs) were terrified - lol. Glad you had a great time.
Lovely pics as always and have a huge smile on my face - thank you
Feeding time!
Final feeding for Powie Pineapple
None more full
One Gallon left if she needs it, but I doubt she will. Probably go to waste
This girl is harvesting Saturday. She’s starting to get minor foxtailing and get new light hairs. Its happening.
amazing buds / build
wonder what those buds weigh (each)
are you sure they’re not cauliflowers ?!?
Thanks @mo_bud
Im going to try and remember to pre weigh each shelf while Im loading harvest into Cannatrol to see what wet weight is compared to dry at end.
I dont think theyre going to be too heavy just due to the fact that they are shorties.
But I’ll tell you, they are hefty and sticky. Im just praying for no mold
The dogs reactions are usually fun to watch
Trick or treaters coming by on thursday for Halloween. Stan has a blast seeing the kids, and each door bell or door knock sends him into a frenzy…
Its gonna be awesome!
We usually don’t get many trick-or-treaters at our place
I know the feeling - we have a narrow window in our front door and when someone knocks, Teddy (when stood up is about 6ft) leaps at the window in excitement, it scares the crap out of anyone knocking - Trick and Treaters beware - lol
