would it be alot better if i get promix or is that problem prone too?
no, any reputible soil is good. Just stick with a good source, but you dont have to get rediculous. My buddy uses Promix with great results. I prefer Black gold coco mix but thats just because it is easy to get small bags.

well, with the plant I grew in soil, i used a trick I read about, and didnt water for 3-4 days before harvest, and that plant was completely dry in 6 days, but the last plant I harvested took 11 days and was out of my dwc bucket. Just seeing if anyone had proven this for sure.

Maybe the humidity was a little different when the first plant was harvested, but who knows you'd have to have a soil and a hydro harvest on the same day, drying in the same closet to see

Does anyone know the typical dry time for hydro and if it is longer than soil?

it would take longer from soil for me, cause i harvest when the soil is super wet to avoid nutrient uptake. i have also tried letting it dry on the stalk, that worked wonders.

I could see that taking as long, but it cant get much wetter than sitting in a bucket of strait water. If you flush well, you can run the pot dry before harvest and it does shave a few days off of the dry time. Thanks for the input thoug. I always like hearing about how other people do their harvests, always so many different ways.

Alright. Harvest is dry. Took 7 days at 70F with 40%rh. All are jaring now. I know the yield would have been better if I didnt have all the nutrient problems in the middle of flowering. But i still hold my head high with a respectable first grow.

oh damn... that weed looks choice. seven days to dry is great, def. not too slow or fast.
almost 10oz is sick for a first grow, I'm working up to that I guess.

1 day curing and this stuff is pretty killer. Great head high with a decent body buzz. Taste is ok and getting better.

In just a week, the smell on my WW2 has come around good. The stone is settling in to a more mellow tone but the flavor is still pretty rough. My Blue Kushs have all reached the screen, Will start a new log when I have time.
 
What a magnificent set you have. If only I had the money haha. Your smoke is well worth the time you put into this, Good shit dude!

perlite is almost always a good idea for airation and drainage. 10%-20% is the normal mixing rate.

thanks. I'm pretty happy with the out come. I just know if I didnt make the mistakes I did, It would have been an even better harvest. But it was my first grow, so expecting it to go perfect is a little unrealistic. This second set going now has higher expectations though.
