I like the smaller plants. You get more variety.

I don’t understand how to grow them

I’m with you on that.

That’s why it’s a solo cup challange

You ever care for a newborn animal that lost it’s mother? I look at this challenge as similar to that experience. Every two to three hours is another feeding… etc. etc. etc.
If you don’t do it that way I can see rotten roots being the outcome from staying too wet too long.
Of course I didn’t participate because of my plant count and staying inside their rules but that’s how I would have approached this Solo challenge.
It was great fun watching though. This one outshines last years grow. IMO

Thanks, but it’s only been once daily watering thanks to the “hempy bucket” design and 40% vermiculite. In fact, I’m only watering them once every 36 hours right now.

Ah. I see. Well, I commend you for your ingenuity! I would have had to try something similar had I done it or mine would have surely died right quick. I have too much going on to babysit a plant every few hours for that long. lol

Weighed the hash and pressed the rosin from the first two DD plants. It came out a lot darker than normal, but it has an excellent flavor and effect. I’m hoping to wash another batch this weekend.
I calculated a few statistics from these first two plants:
Dominion Diesel #1 yielded 5.79 grams of hash and 2.89 grams of rosin.
2.04% wet to hash
10.16% dry to hash
49.91% hash to rosin
5.07% dry to rosin
0.72 g rosin /ft2
Dominion Diesel #2 yielded 12.14 grams of hash and 7.64 grams of rosin.
3.88% wet to hash
19.27% dry to hash
62.93% hash to rosin
12.13% dry to rosin
1.91 g rosin /ft2

2 the winner of the two huh!

Yeah, it was the bigger plant, it washed pretty well at 3.88% too.
and 63 % to Rosin , not bad

63% is on the lower range for me. My max was
Grass Fire OG which gave me 71.73% hash to rosin. 
I like the grams of rosin per square foot metric. It combines yield, how well it washes, and how well it squished. 1.91 is pretty average, with my max being 2.75 (again from Grass Fire OG).

My fogger had stopped working. I thought it was the transducer that was bad, so I ordered a new one. When it got here today, I plugged it in. It didn’t work either. I did some investigating and found a fuse on the power supply. The fuse was blown, so I ordered a 10 pack from Amazon.
The question remains, why was the fuse blown? Perhaps the transducer went out, or perhaps the power supply per heated? I know that without plants, the dehumidifier cannot get the RH past 60%. I had it set to 70% and it ran for about 24 hours straight without turning off.

Ummm… It should be designed to not consume more current that necessary.
How much current is the dehumifier? (Watts?)
Are more thinks connected to the same power plug?
P=U×I… I don’ know if you are running 110v or 230v… So:
For 110v the max power (watts) for that fuse is 110×2… 220watts
For 230v the max is 230×2… 460 watts
Happy growings

Don’t ya just hate when u fix something and it’s still broken? Especially when the required “fix” is much less intricate! Hope you get it figured out.
I’ll tell ya a funny story from last week.
So I’m no electrician. I actually hate electricity, lol. But I can manage many simple fixes. Long story short: The kitchen lights weren’t working.
Stupid fluorescent lights. So first, obviously you check the bulbs. Bulbs are good. So I disconnect the ballast and do a resistance test. It appears to show no conductivity(I couldn’t find my digital multimeter, so I was using an old analog one, and really probably read it wrong). So I go get a new ballast and wire it in. Damn things are usually ten or more wires. I get it all back together. Nothing! Then the lightbulb in my head finally goes on…The switch! Like an idiot I went straight to the ballast before testing the switch. Of course, I put a conductivity test on the switch and it’s bad. After another much quicker/easier fix, I have working lights. I felt so stupid. Follow the steps people! Take a minute to step back and think. That’s all I can say. Lol
Sorry for the long winded comment. Your situation just reminded me of my mistake.

There could have been a power surge that blew it out. In some edge cases there can be like a 200milliamp spike that takes out the fuse. For my microscope I had to purchase a fuse for the light that took extra amps to blow out. Obviously not for using on sensitive electronics though. “anti surge” or “slow blow” fuse.

That fuse is rated at 125V, 2A so 250W. The power supply output is 24V 1A, so 24W. The transducer may still be bad. I will know more once the replacement fuses get here.

Those transducers run hot possibly just over heated . I try to keep mine on the cool concrete floor .
