How does pushing humid air around make it less humid? You need a dehumidifier (or A/C) to drop RH, no?

Having the air moving will help the plants to perspire better. It helps prevent moisture from building up in one spot. Like blowing air aver wet skin, it cools it down, and dries it off. None of my other plants seem to be having any issue with the humidty to be honest. I think the buds were just so dense they were holding in moisture. I think most of the spots happened also where I had removed a leave in the past, and the spot had sweated, or just the little nub started to rot a bit. But its all taken care of for now. I do wish as I said before I could run a dehumidifier, but I just couldn't afford it this time.

I took a dry weight on everything last night, cus its fairly dry. I had almost exactly 3 oz, so I'm pretty happy. I've got the nugs in a paper bag right now, I had it closed all night, and I'm gonna leave it open today. Then I might stick them in jars either tonight, or tomorrow.

So I finally got ahold of HTG yesterday, and my shit still hadn't been mailed. I guess they were out of stock on the cha ching or something. So it was supposed to be shipped out yesterday, and the guy said he was hooking me up with a bunch of sampls of stuff. So hopefully I'll have it tomorrow, and I'll get some cool samples.

I made up about 12 sticks of butter with all the trim I had. Havn't made anything yet, but its a ton of butter. I also watered the rest of the girls yesterday. I just gave them all a gallon of straight PH'd water since the last couple feedings have ben pretty heavy. Then when I get my cha Ching in a day or two finally, hopefully, lol, I'll give them all a nice dose of that. We are coming down to the home stretch here folks only 3.5 more weeks till the 4th of july, and its moving FAST! PEace Guys, TC

That's a heart attack!!! 12 sticks?!

I wonder if an olive oil tincture can be made? I hardly ever use butter.

But heck, 12 sticks! Maybe the THC will make the cholesterol slide on thru ur veins anyways...

Lol, I figure it will last me for awhile, and I may even share some with friends, lol! I'm not sure, but I don't see why you couldn't do the same process I use, with olive oil. I just simmer the weed, and butter in a small crock pot for like 6 hours, seems to turn out pretty damn good. I just stir it up every so often. I'm going to try to make icecream with some of the trim from the next batch. I'm gonna simmer the trim in heavy cream I think, and make icecream with it. I think it should be delicious!!! My gf is making me some brownie cookie bars today, which should be DAnk!

So I got my order from HTG today actually!! It came a little while ago, which is sweet they over nighted it to me. It also came with a half bottle of gravity, purple maxx, and bushmaster. I don't care to much about the bushmaster, but I've been wishing I could afford to try the gravity, I've heard great things about it. So Tomorrow, or saturday, I'll be watering them with 1/4 strength gravity, and 1/4 strength cha ching. I'll give them plain water the next time, then feed again maybe at 1/2 strength, we'll see. I raised the lights yesterday, butI will bring them up a bit more when I give them the nutes. I might foliar feed them with a light purple maxx mixture when I water with plain water too. Its supposed to maximize the effects of the gravity. We'll see, I don't want to fry them, but I'd love to help them pack on some more wieght!!

That's great! I'll try that when I harvest later in the season. Well done....

yumm some mint chocolate bud ice cream!! haha i like the way you think TC

Hehe, thats actually the flavor I was thinking about, either that, or some mango icecream.

Wuddup tc man... Sucks about the mold, but on the brightside you got 3oz CEO
that bitch. She looks absolutely dank man, I hope you enjoy every toke you take . Feels good as hell choppin shit down again eh? Lol can't wait to see what the rest of your trees give you dude. I'll be choppin over the next two weeks, but I won't be able to reap anything major until mid July when scrogmonster is finished. Garunteed you'll be getting enough clipped to put u where u wanna be financially bro, I wish u nothig but the best of luck with the move too!

I'll talk to ya soon man, n congrats again. I'll be sure to hit u up once I got a napsack fulla dank to go campin with,lol.

-K1.

three zones off one plant... very nice... ya gotta love the big girls
.

Thanks guys appreciate you stoppin by! I was pretty happy with the 3 oz, I'm really hoping the rest of my girls all give me atleast 2-3 each as well. I'm gonna dose them up the the gravity I got and hopefully pack on some weight to the sativas. I dont have a ton, so I don't know if I'm gonna dose the WW clones with it or not, they are already dense as hell.

King you used the gravity didn't you, what do you think of it? Should I water with just the gravity, or you think 1/4 strength cha ching would be ok with 1/4 strength gravity. Should I use the purple maxx?

Any body have any experiance with these. I've read a bunch of posts on forums, and from everything I've read, people just say to use it very lightly.

ive used the fox farm solubles at full strength every watering haha thats all i can say

Hey TC... I used gravity on my grow wrapping up right now. I do hydro so not sure if it helps at all. Anyways, I have used 1.5 mL gravity / gallon and there was no problems at all. The first run I used 10% nutes... by the last run I think I was using 50% nutes and things were still all good.

The bottles says raise the HPS... I did that, but found I didn't need to... by the last run I just left the light 6' off the tips like usual.

Don't have anything to compare but I think the gravity made my nugs more solid, dense... but like I said, nothing to compare to.

Also my timing ended up being this... gravity used week 4, 6, 8 of flowering. Regular nutes the weeks in between.

I bought purple maxx and bushmaster for my clone grow. Not sure why I used the BM but I did and two things are for sure... there was absolutely no vertical growth after feeding, and my nodes are stacked like crazy... They are starting week 2 of flowering and already buds are running into eachother.

I'm totally scarred to use the PM though... don't know when or if I will. Haha, talk about waste of money... I'm just looking at the bottle.

Be sure to let me know what you do with the PM, wish I could help more with it. Here's a thread disussing it a little:

Hey TC!

Sorry to hear of the troubles... but I am glad you noticed in time to save the crop...

It looks amazing! your plants look really really good...

I can't stop thinking of a leaf that fell or was pulled out, and the plant just kept pumping "juice" out until the wound closed...

I have noticed it big time when I am pruning my lollies... there is a lot of fluid that comes out...

Anyways.. ramble ramble ramble...lol...

I have used all 3, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching...

Now we know I do ebb flow, so it will not translate very well, but I will tell you that I stopped using them as they brought my pH down like lead on a pool...

I had to dose large amounts of pH UP daily, sometimes 2x a day...

I had never needed pH UP before, and have not needed it since I stopped using them...

And now, as before, I have to pH DOWN every 3 to 4 days...

That is way more reasonable, especially when you consider I run large reservoirs...

As far as results, to be honest with you, I have not been able to tell a difference in the different nutes I have used, other than pH and PPM management...

Again, all different that your use...

Just thought I'd drop my experience...

Cheers and CONGRATS!!!

THanks man, I hadn't seen that thread. I just read through alot of it. I think I"m gonna try them. Everybody seems really happy with the gravity, so I gotta give it a try.

I also got a package in the mail today............from HTG.............with a duplicate order in it. I got another container of Cha Ching, and another bottle of Big bloom, I was like Sweet Karma is finally hookin me uP! I wish I had a containe of the beastie bloom, instead of 2 cha ching, but I can't complain, maybe I can find some one to buy it, or trade for the beastie bloom.

I finally just finished taking the rest of my clones. I ended up with 72!! Obviously, not all of those are going to make the cut but I wanted to start with as good of a number as possible. I kept 4 of the mothers, which I am going to keep small and alive for as long as I can. I "lst'd" one of the mothers into a bonsai tree...I will take pictures later. =) The clones that I took last week are already rooting like crazy!

I watered all of the other plants, but I only had 2.5 gallons so I will need to get some more soon. I gave them half strength Gravity and half strength Cha-Ching. I raised the 1000w another inch or so, but I couldn't raise the 400w. I moved the fan higher so that it blows in the space between the lights and the plants more. Hopefully nothing burns! If all goes well I will dose them again in a day or two when I get more water. Otherwise everything is good in the garden! Talk to you guys later! Peace TC

Wow I haven't been on in soooooooo long. On page 109 they look soooooooo nice. Congrats, rep++!

i like purple maxx, and gravity makes your nugs harder. But graity killed one of my girls in like 3 days and she had like 6 weeks of veg on her, she looked so nice then just all brown. the other plants liked it though. its like vitamin b from sea kelp or something. just do like half strength though, if that.

THanks Sacred Herb, things have been coming along pretty well. few more weeks, and this grow will be all wrapped up.

Thats what I did was half strength on the gravity. I'll see how they like it, and I might still foliar feed with the purple maxx in a day or two. I want to see the benefits of the nutes, but I also don't want to over do it. So I'll take my time, and start at a low dose. I also realized last night that when I fed them yesterday I forgot to PH the water, so its a good thing I only used 2 gallons over 6 plants. They each got about a 3rd of a gallon with half strength nutes in it. I'm gonna get more water later today, prolly.

i would be very cautious with the foliar feed since youve already had one case of mold. i wouldnt be in there spraying more liquid to accidently get stuck in the buds. wouldnt be fun...

I had considered that little! If I do bother to foliar I am only gonna spray the sativas, they are still pretty airy so it shouldn't be a problem. I also moved my fan again yesterday to change the air flow, and i think should help. I may not bother to foliar anyways, I don't want to screw this up by experimenting so close to the end. I need to finish strong here!
