Sorry I missed your last post! Been slammed! I actual bought Boveda packs and hygrometer lids for my mason jars on Amazon a little over a week ago & they work great...no more guess work! I also flipped my new crop to flower last week & they exploding! And I trimmed up below the Scrog net...

I just finished my 1st harvest and dried for 5 days (I live in Colorado so it dries pretty quick) & now it’s been curing in mason jars for 5 days. So here’s the dilemma...I’m going out of town in 6 days and will be gone for a total of 6 days. My buds will have only been curing for 11 days at...

Thanks Olfogey. Guess it’s time to step up my game & get me some hygrometers & Broveda packs. My harvest is dry now & in large mason jars. Already doing much better & starting to smell more like ganja & less like hay/alfalfa each day! Thanks!

SCROG stands for screen of green. It’s a heavy duty net that goes across the entire canopy which is allows the grower to manually manipulate the plants growth outward or laterally as opposed to straight up. As the plants grow, I’ll move the branches and leaves around about twice a week to...

Oh, and a good friend of mine has had to test monthly for years. He uses a Wizinator with a small heating patch & synthetic urine, and never once had a problem.

I begrudgingly quit 5 weeks ago anticipating an upcoming job change...Sucks because I’m just not into alcohol or anything else, so MJ is my one & only choice for R & R...and I really, really like my MJ. I smoke copious amounts of high-grade ganja, so it will take me at least another 6 weeks...

Thanks NENugs, I’ve got a perpetual set-up as well, but on a smaller scale. I grow 4 plants in Veg and 4 in flower. I actually just moved my veg plants over to my flower tent yesterday after just finishing my 1st harvest. It’s kinda crazy how some of you diehards are growing twice that amount...

Well this should be a piece of cake with your background! I haven’t built anything bigger than a 5 bucket RDWC system, including the control station, but my guess is, it’s probably a little easier to maintain and Scrog compared to DWC. Plus, I travel a lot for work & I spend most summer weekends...

Thanks for the insight Oldfogey! As a rookie just completing my 1st grow, I did a ton of research on nearly all aspects of growing, but failed to realize the science and importance of drying and curing techniques as possibly the most crucial part of the entire process! I also dried my crop too...

Sounds good CK. Been out cleaning my boat the last 4 hours, but I’m back home and I’ll keep and eye out for your PM. The funny thing about my new harvest...I’m getting ready to switch jobs and may have to take a drug test, so I quit smoking nearly 5 weeks ago and I’m still not clean as of yesterday!

Wow HG, you’re not messing around and that’s a lot of work! I’m about to pull my boat out of the lake and clean it so I’ll be back in a few hours to follow up

Holy F-bomb, those are some impressive buds! I was up really late last night trimming and I think I fell asleep just before your 1st post. And damn, it is a ton of work trimming and manicuring! I think it gave me carpal tunnel in my cutting hand. Lol I was grabbing about a 1/2 ounce of buds...

Here’s a few more pics of the RDWC in use in the grow tent...and by the way, that system cost me about $300 to build, including pumps and the collapsible 25gal reservoir. There are cheaper systems on the eBay and Amazon, but most are just DWC, crap designs, low flow with poor reviews...

Hi HG I really appreciate the kind words! I researched MJ growing like a mad man over the last 6 months and learned a ton from this forum as well. I built my own RWDC system after doing tons of research on that as well. For some reason that concept really appealed to me and it’s been a ton of...

Thanks CK! I’ve got the buds drying in a dark, ventilated tent with fans, but I did have them in the light for 3 or 4 hours while trimming. I’ll keep them in total darkness now and when I move them to jars, I’ll keep them in a dark tent as well.

Thanks HP! Your totally right...it smells like hay/alfalfa! The buds turned from just sticky to really moist the day after I harvested, so I did some trimming, then added another fan to the tent last night and they’re much dryer already this morning. The overpowering smell of hay and alfalfa has...

I just finished my first grow and harvested early yesterday. It has had an incredible aroma until just a few hours ago...now it’s quickly beginning to smell musty. I live in Colorado, but I’ve kept the room at an RH of roughly 45%. I just felt the buds and they’re pretty moist so I opened the...

Just harvested my 1st Just harvested 1st grow and I feel pretty good about the results... 2 plants - Chemodo Dragon - Hybrid strain combo - Chemdawg#4 & Gupta Kush Scrogged in my own RDWC design No clue on yield weight yet, but it’s more than I was expecting Pictures attached... One of the...

Thanks Rich! As far as seeds go, I’m far from expert so hopefully the advanced members chime in. My 1st batch of seeds were a Sativa dominant hybrid called Chemodo Dragon I bought at a dispensary in Denver & I couldn’t be happier in the way they’re turning out! I started a new crop in my 2nd...

HG, Thanks! You raise some really good input about flushing and your right about the SCROG. I ordered those heavy duty screens early on Amazon, but I got hosed and they never came. I got a refund & re-ordered a second time, but by the time they arrived, I was 2 weeks behind my SCROG schedule...
