Yes, just used a wood chisel and awl. Marked the lids, cut and installed hygrometer. They are cheap on eBay for ten or twenty, for twenty bucks or so. I use a little silicone sealant around cut. I have found they are surprisingly accurate.

I use the amber half gallon jars. I then install humidity meters in the jar lids. I usually put a broveda pack in the bottom.
Gives you an idea of what's going on in the jars.
The tricombs were definitely milky and a long time in flower. They did flower through the heat of Michigan summer though so it did lose some of its fragrance.

The plants pictured in my signature flowered early and were almost 11 weeks before I cut them. They are jarred and curing now. I tried a sample a couple times and it seems the new smoke makes me anxious and keeps me awake. I looked at the tricombs and they are mostly crystal like. A little amber...
Potassium bicarbonate is a great way to end PM. I use a product called green cure, I think they are the same. It's a powder I spray at the beginning of flower in the same tank as another product called BT. They are both organic and can be washed off with water. So one good rain and they are...
The best is yet to come. This the part you have been waiting for. They put on weight and get even better looking. I think my buds get chunkier almost every night.

Neem oil is a good repellent but I do not use it during flowering. They generally are not numerous and you can just look for them and destroy. They can fly when adult. I am not sure what to use after flower. Perhaps someone else can help.
I have been using BT for cats and Green Cure for PM and...
Those look like immature stink bugs and yes they eat plants and are a bad bug. I have had several this year not sure why but my plants are near my grape vines and I think they host a lot of parasites. That mark on their back tells me it some kind of stink bug.

Harvested two of my early females. Biggest colas I have ever grown. At least 4 plants will have small buds and reduced yields because of all the nute burn. Fox Farm can stick their products up there ass! I emailed them no response. I am done with them!
Growers beware! Steer yourself to safer...
Does not look like PM to me. Never the less, Aug/Sep is PM time to raise its ugly head.
To help it would be best to know are you indoor/outdoor buckets or ground. I use Green Cure starting in mid summer and spray every 5/6 days.

Looks to me like it is just expressing a little bit of purple from its genetics. Nothing to worry about. I have some apple pie "kush" that is doing it this year. It usually expresses color as it cools and the plant gets more mature.

Second time legal grow outside! I have usually gorilla grown but last year I legal grew in my backyard. Had what I felt was great success. Used miracle grow or whatever fertilizer I could find. Of course looking to this year I wanted to improve. So I upped my genetics with female seeds and a few...
