Temps 65°
Humidity 56%

The crop has been hanging for five days now. They are drying but not very crispy on the outside.
Have any of you guys dried your buds in 56% humidity before?​

Yes. I use a computer fan drying box for several days and then paper bags after that for however long it takes. I think the Bags would do a good job at removing humidity. YOu could also get thes closet dryer things as walmart. It is a passive dehumidifier like damp rid. Try the paperbag drying as this is the cheapest/easiest solution I think.

Cool.
I was a little worried about mold so thats good to know. Dont see any powdery mildew either. Yup I got the bags man. I didnt think of them lowering the humidity but yea, makes sense, thanks.

Na man, I looked at them once they hung for a week and all three looked about the same as far as size so I just cut off all the buds and put them together in a cardboard box for now. I did the Train too, got those buds in paper bags now. 3 shopping bags about 2 inches full. I will have weight in a couple days, let them dry some more.

The shake didnt dry very well I had it in paper bags about 5 inches full, thats too much Im thinkin so I layed it out on a table and gonna leave it overnight and see how that goes. I read you can bubble shake that has PM and the mildew floats so gonna try it.

OK people, I got weight.

First I thought I would show you what the crop looked like.
This is the shot of the day I cut.



This is a week later.



You can see how much it shrunk in size.
So, anyway I manacured the buds and put them in paper bags for a couple days then weighed them and poured them out on the table for a couple shots.









I got 8.5 oz's of Trainwreck and 1 oz of Kush out of one 400w bulb.
Total of 9.5 Oz's Thats a hell of a lot more then last time. I cant wait to see what the smoke is like.

Told ya you'd like that bulb. Even with all the problems, that what, double the yield of last time? That's only a quarter short of my Widow yield. Good work buddy. Imagine if it had all went perfect....but thats what next run is for. Have you had a chance to check out my new setup?

Yea man, I do like this bulb. Last harvest with the 400w CMH and 100w of cfls was 5 3/4 oz so pretty close to double the weight. I do believe I could have done better last grow if I screened it and had proper reflection, but I dont think I could get this much.

I'm gonna go check out your journal now.

Good job my friend! Double your last harvest, you really can't ask for more than that! I missed it though, which particular bulb did you have in there?

Yea buddie, no complaints here. This was the 400w argosun.
I been calling it the HPS but it does have some blue in it, didnt use the cfls on the side either.

Update:

I got the cab lined with the reflector material today, I trimmed the sheets back 1/4 inch so they fit flush.
All three walls are adjustable in height by just setting them in the cabs shelf mounts.
So that worked out good. I still need to do the doors but here are a couple shots.




Then I can raise the sides to install my screen. I figure I could cut holes for the mount but I may want to make reflectors out of the wall material at a later date so I will just move them up.



Fits real nice.




Looks cool huh? I figure I will use every available lumen with this.

Hum, just noticed I gotta fix that weather stripping...

Looks real nice Cruzer. Not a bad idea. Little more durable than mylar. For your co2 to work, I asked if when you tried did you have the light being cooled all the time and a seperate exhaust, or just the exhaust hooked to the light? If it wasnt cooled seperate, that might be what it takes to keep it cool enough for the exhaust to be off most of the time and the co2 used effectively.
