Hi, back again for the first post of the year. Hope you all had a good Chrissy.
I've been very busy these last couple of weeks, as they all get close to finishing during this high humidity, I wanted to avoid any mould setting in.
Here's some idea of what I'm dealing with...
First, this was the humidity just over a week ago (12th Jan)...
Yeah, way up in the 90's which is shit for harvesting. How do you expect weed to dry in that???
The forecast wasn't looking great either...
...and it was playing havoc with my VPD, as you can see in this Cloudcom screenshot...
As you can see, a minimum of 0.55, hitting a max of 2.53... and I need to be in the 1.2 to 1.5 region.
On the 5th Jan (Day 73), I checked the Jonestown, and she had a tiny bit of mould developing in her main cola, so I took her down that night. Luckily I had stopped watering her for a couple of days, again to reduce the leaf RH.
This is how she looked just before the chop...
Now for some cola shots...
She looks nice and sticky!
But very leafy....
She was a bitch to harvest, I needed to wet trim her to remove all leaves and get a good look for any mould, and luckily there was no more.
I left her hanging in boxes in the infernal humidity, and eventually took a touch over 2 weeks to dry, and that was only achieved because I set up a dehumidifier in the drying room (after seeing those figures on the Cloudcom)... I reckon if I didn't put that dehumidifier in, I would have lost the lot to mould.
Anyway, she's down.
I'll post more this evening, and show you my ASS.
