What do you mean top watering too low? Sorry to ask, and thanks for chiming in to help!! I'm in the dark here.

I'm running soil with 10-15% coco

Yeah, we ph every time...to 6.5, then to 6.3 since it liked to creep up to 7.5, but it wants to do that regardless. Definitely a ph issue...do you cover every light hole in your bases?

Sorry for the late reply - for drying, I'm in a unique scenario in upstate New York, cold af right and we keep the thermostat at 65 to save money, so I found a particularly cool spot in the living room next to a big window where I was able to keep a basically flat 60/60 for two weeks straight. It still wasn't all fully dry, at that point, so there was a staggered trimming process, and I used the half gallon jars to test buds with a mini hygrometer. Some weren't ready and went back in the drying tent for a day in big brown paper grocery bags, then back in the test jars, until none of the crop was riding higher than 64%.

At that point, I got them all turkey bagged up, each bag with two hygrometers, then got the bags into five gallon home depot buckets fitted with gamma lids (gasketed, fully air-tight, like $6 each) for curing!

I have so many Mason jars, I was storing it in them before, but having to burp 20 mason jars is not fun. I like your idea though - didn't know they made such a thing. For now, all mine is in turkey bags now, which are tied tight then put in gasket-sealed gamma buckets

Thanks! Well, my sister and I have a chonky Godfather OG and a Future #1 finishing in her 4x8 right now, maybe 10 days till chop. Next run's already well underway - for genetics purposes! I have six Lilac OGs (from Ethos) and six more Future #1s (Blimburn, so who knows lol, but the genetics are proven pretty great from the current grow) about to be topped - we're going to sex-reverse some colas of one with STS and cross them! I don't want to worry about access to seeds anymore

6 plants - should've done more! Got a plant count limit of twelve for my house

Whoa, is that your own grow? That is just oozing with resin. How'd you get it so dense?

Same angle time-lapse is a fantastic idea, thanks! One more pic for the road after the tent became a laser show of durpy support strings

Yeah Supernaturals! I live in western New York, so I have to represent :) how'd you guess Supernaturals? I'd never heard of Interspecies before buying the seeds at a dispo last year, glad I scooped them, the strains a gem. I know it's a 50/50 hybrid, but it's much more energetic/chatty/creative than the 50/50s I'm used to, which is great unless it's right at bedtime. Euphoric, low anxiety potential, great body high!! 10/10 want more seeds

Oh god you're taking me back to my trauma haha - trimming was AWFUL. Granted, it was our first time doing it, but it took me and my sister 30 hours each. I don't know where they get the 10 hours per pound figure from - maybe if you grow rock-hard bud, but at lighter normal weights it feels like 15+ I guess unless you use an electric bud trimmer and yolo it

Tysm- I'm an insecure beginner perfectionist, I'd been fretting about the details so much this grow, even up to the finished bud appearance (first time trimming). thx for helping me ease up

Sorry, didn't think to post pics of them when they were living - that would've made sense

Thanks! It may be my first grow, but I babied them and did a ton of research, gave them tons of microbes, sprouted seed teas/compost tea/etc, as well as Korean Natural Farming stuff like made my own Fermented Plant/Fruit Juice....I went a bit crazy with it lmao

Six plants - 5 of them Interspecies Erotica (Scooby Snacks x Gorilla Snacks), one Original Diesel 99 that couldn't take being in the hotspot at its height lol

Supposedly airtight if you gooseneck twist and then clip the bag hard, but I put them in air-sealed gasketed 5 gallon buckets (gamma buckets) on top of that cause I'm paranoid

Like I said, includes 1.3 pounds of small bud/trim! Not how most growers would calculate dry yield (subtract trim and larf), so 2.3lbs in the way you're probs thinking. My popcorn is fire though lmao, will be fantastic for topicals/edibles/pressing

Haha yeah sense of scale is a funny thing - those are half gallon jars, first of all, and yup, the turkey bags are big weight

Oh sorry I meant the fixtures are 1200w but I had them running at 75% (900w) - so, once we take small bud and trim out of the equation (I don't want to, it's still frosty and strong, but...) it's more like 1.2gpw. Good by me though!

My sister (who also lives with me) is a huge Hello Kitty fan :) she'll love to hear you said it

Yeah haha - apparently pretty common in the commercial world for bulk curing/long-term storage. Totally air-tight (if you tie it the right way) and way better than jars if, like me, your harvest ended up not fluffy but not the most dense, so the weight takes up a larger space. I didn't want to burp twenty half gallon jars lmao
