Im a little over four weeks into flower.
I know its not time yet, but I need some good curing / drying tips. By no means do I want to over-dry my crop, but I would much rather err on that side than run the risk of them ending up even slightly moldy or funky smelling [I under-dried my first crop - Im not going to make that mistake twice].
I live in a humid region [Pacific Northwest], and I have a closet set up. Ill go to whatever lengths I need to to dehumidify the closet or the room its in, although I dont know the first thing about dehumidification.
What do the experts recommend? Dehydrators? Dehumidifiers? Desiccants?
I also have a few other questions.
First things first: My tops are looking great, but they hardly smell at all. This is my first indoor grow [the plants I grew outdoor reeked, but they were a different strain] - is this common with indoor crops?
Its a soil grow. Theyve been on 12/12 for a little over four weeks. Im using a 1000W HPS, and Ive been feeding them General Organics BioThrive [Bloom 2-4-4] and CaMg+.
Has anyone else had this problem [a crop that doesnt reek up the neighborhood]? It has me a little worried, to be honest. Are there strains that are late bloomers as far as stank is concerned? Does lack of odor indicate lack of THC?
Next, I just started reading about nutrient flushes. Im considering discontinuing nutrients / adding molasses when I first begin to notice rusty hairs. Is that a good idea? Something Im taking into consideration: Im putting my girls back into veg after harvesting, so I want to make sure theyre getting what they need. I know people like to mess with their plants right before harvest, but Im thinking I should probably go easy on them so as to keep them healthy for their next run.
Which leads me to my last train of thought. I need some solid advice on how to re-veg without causing my girls too much trauma [Id like to avoid hermaphroditism]. Should I change the light cycle back gradually? If so, how gradually? I used MH [18/6] for veg, and Im using HPS [12/12] for flower. When I switched to flower, I went straight to the new bulb and light cycle.
If you have experience revegetating, Id love to hear your feedback and get some tips.
Thanks for reading!
