    Can you cure at 58-60%?

    Naw I tried the cold dry last grow and was blown away by the smells that ill never warm dry again. Last harvest i did like 58F it was great. Only reason was thinkinf every 3 or 4 days was to preserve moisture. I suppose if I just open it up shake around a bit I shouldnt lose too much moisture

    Can you cure at 58-60%?

    I dried for 8 days in 62F and 55-65% it fluctuated 18hrs in the buckets to get 60% readings. I just wanna minimize future openings and will check after 72hours once more before I close up for a couple weeks. I feel like some smell went away. Tough to tell cause I was still trimming as it took...

    Can you cure at 58-60%?

    I bucketed my harvest and after 18hrs the hygrometers read 60% but was most likely a tad higher. They still felt moist. I let them sit in a box for like 15-20minutes and bucketed them again this time for 24hrs. Now 2 buckets are reading 59% and one is 60% Will the 59% ones still cure?

    Recommendations for a water pump for 16 site plant 1inch pvc 2 manifolds

    Your manifold needs to be bigger than your run outs. Basic fluid dynamics. Water flows in the path of least resistance. Fittings will have an equivalent foot of pipe length in terms of resistance. Once water goes past that point its easier to flow through the first fitting. When making the...

    Plants dying in flower...bud rot or bugs?

    The leaves that are dying into the buds see if the bud pulls apart easily there. These are the first visible signs of bud rot

    Plants dying in flower...bud rot or bugs?

    Looks like thrip leaf damage in addition to overferting. 2nd picture you can see their frass on the leaf. Looks like my dads plants when he was feeding 2.0EC every watering. I told him to flush and take a reading of the run odf and his meter couldnt even detect the levels it was that high

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    So like this then? Wires were tinned with the perfect amount of room. Insulation just past the terminal metal

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Sounds accurate. I just hope the screw patterns are the same. Also hope the wire is stripped back enough so I dont have to redo the tinning since I had to borrow someones soldering iron

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Ballast finally came in. 14 days after it shipped. Gosh USPS is slow this time of the year. I wonder when they switched from HLG to XLGs. This 240-M-AB came with a screw pot sensor inconveniently located on the bottom that mounts to my Slate 2 and an external pot sensor. Question 1: Which wire...
