Trying to grow Organic

[Polyuro]

Humidity is way too high when I have lights out, usually over 80%. I could have figured this out much sooner, but for some reason I did not think humidity mattered much with lights out. I had avoided the problem with mold by growing smaller less dense buds. Any good dense flower I have grown since last October started having mold issues around week 8 of flower, a few exceptions were grown, most notably was Monkey Juice which avoided the problem.

Looking for a good dehumidifier for my 420 cubic foot flower shed. Nine plants, 7 gallon fabric pots drinking about half a gallon each per day. Outside air intake is used to modify humidity during lights on, but not an option at night.

Quest dehumidifiers are top of the line.

july 7, 2020 I planted 12 seeds, solo cup, ewc, peat and pumice, 12 of the seeds popped, one did not grow:

4 seeds were feminized with 8 regular, one of the feminized seeds did not grow, 2 bag of oranges by Useful Seeds, 1 triangle kush / star pupil by Mass Medical. Of the 8 regular seeds, only two females after sexing, Swami Organic Seeds nl5 x the black / nlhaze and a mm seed.

Tall one far back is triangle kush / star pupil and big one in middle is Swami on 9/9/2020:

Bag of Oranges by useful seeds, around 10 weeks 12/12, nice aromas, good amount of trichome's and nice smoke, two plants, no bud rot and no bugs, woohoo:

Cut down the NL5/the black/NLHaze by SOS, did not want to finish, late nanners, we shall see, around 11 weeks but yellow and dying leaves in top bud had me worried:

Final harvest before end of year, damn, missed November. This was a freebie by mm, fisheye og, nice trichs and smell, very small with nice red and pink flowers:

I feel like this was a pretty successful grow, getting close to "its all about genetics", instead of problems with environment or soil. When I saw bug evidence at 4 weeks in flower I hit them with spinosad. Got a dehumidifier and kept lights off humidity down, but increased daytime humidity to try and match VPD info. Ending with no bugs and no bud rot. Plants stayed very green until 11 weeks, also unusual for me. Again, woohoo, and i learned how to grow schrooms during lockdown.

Is that jade as cover crop?

How’s she smell

Both of the Bag of Oranges lived up to their name, a very nice citrus/orangey smell with a nice taste to compliment the citrus.

Is that jade as cover crop?

Mainly clover, it is the Build-A-Soil cover crop mix.

Early smoke whilst curing in jars is very potent, with a funky gassy stink, very potent, of I said that already.
