Just dried 4 plants in a bedroom closet. Fan for circulation and a humidifier to slow down dry time. My temperature was between 75-80°F (In KC this time of year 74°F is about as cool as my HVAC will keep my house). I made the mistake of setting the humidifier to target 1.0 VPD. I should’ve set it higher, 1.2-1.4 , for the first few days to get the outside of the buds to dry faster and start the wicking of moisture from the stems outward sooner. Then increase humidity or lower VPD to slow the drying down at the end. I say all this because this morning I cracked open a hand grenade sized bud and found a little mold near the stem at the base of the bud. Lesson learned. Saving terps isn’t always the best approach. When you’re making do with the resources you’ve got, always remember to think about which controllable variable is paramount and realize in a home grow you can’t always dial it in ideally.

My water from KCMO is like 10.2 pH straight out of the tap. Dude has said so many times on the show that he hasn’t heard of water being like 8-9 pH. Try 10+ mostly year round. Depending on nute mix sometimes it comes out in the sweet spot with no adjustment needed. But quite often it takes around a mL/gal of pH down to get down to 6.3-6.5 pH. Grow on!

I just bought an XL Exhale CO2 bag this weekend. Hung it above my light in my flower room. I use a 9×10 bedroom for flower, no tent. We’ll see if I see much yield increase. I’m running a 720W Growers Choice and I’m getting ~1000 ppfd at my tallest most centered tops. That amount of light is clearly a waste of electricity without supplemental CO2. And I’ve seen Scotty’s diminishing returns for light without additional CO2 chart enough times to try something out. After talking with a local grow store employee and finding out CO2 in a tank was gonna run me $100+/mo I opted for a $10/mo solution and we’ll hope it’s more CO2 than me and the 2 dogs were providing the girls.

I seem to remember on a recent Monday panel show that more frequent watering with smaller intervals between drybacks was beneficial during veg, and less frequent but higher volume watering was beneficial during flower. I’m eager to hear what the consensus is tomorrow.

I’ve been running Cookies Seed Bank Ritz Carlton #37 (RB 2.0 x G41) for over a year. A little stretchy like Gelato but a fairly even blend of the flavors of each parent, Zkittles with a funky kush backend. Current cycle is ending wk 8 this weekend. Keep your eye out for final fresh and harvest photos from me in the next couple weeks. They were a little pricey, but the single seed I popped from the 3 pack delivered exactly what I had hoped for when purchasing, something with some color, RB/Zkittles terps with better structure and ease of growth, decent yield, 8-9 wks finisher and just as enjoyable to look at as smoke.

I did. And of the 4 plants I just flowered it was in my top two favorites from this run. The RB 2.0 definitely won on flavor. But the BF Biscotti hit on flavor and yield. I’ve got it flowering again this cycle and it’s an easy keeper too. Leaves are always up and happy.
