Reave's Soilless: Peat, Bark, Sphagnum, Perlite, White Widow 2018

That's completely dependent on the ambient RH.

If you have a controlled environment I'd do 50% ambient for two days and then 62% from then on! Let 'em hang for a week that way.

If you don't then you have to gauge how fast they're drying and work with airflow from there.

Really dry here but I can point a humidifier at the box and see how that goes.

 

[InTheShed]

Make sure you have a hygrometer in the box too. The more you know...

 

[Reave]

Will do shed. I’ll just steal the meter from the flower tent. That thing is dialed in anyway.

Gonna wash? It will help slow down the drying.

I wasn’t going to I don’t have hydrogen peroxide. I guess I should wash. Can I just use water?

 

[InTheShed]

There's also the lemon juice and baking soda method. Have those on hand? If not, swishing in water is good too.

I can just dip them in a bucket and swish? I might have lemon juice and baking soda. How much of that?

That's what bud washing is! One bucket to wash, one to rinse. I've read one cup of each in a 5 gallon bucket but that seems excessive. Let me check around a bit...

1/2 cup of each (lemon juice & baking soda) in a 5 g bucket. Then another two buckets plain water to rinse.

 

[Reave]

Ok. I don’t have lemon juice but I got lemons. So they will become juice.

 

[InTheShed]

LOL! I edited above with the recipe. If you don't have 3 buckets do one bucket twice .

Basic instructions here (if a slightly different recipe):

Bud Washing

This is Doc Buds original instructions on bud washing way back at the beginning of this thread (comment #12). Further up he says that RO isn't really necessary and that tap water (especially tap water with chlorine) is fine (comment #18). Bud Washing Bucket 1: 3 parts RO water to 1 part 3%...

Got them washed. Wow it smells strong now. Woooweeee

 

[InTheShed]

Never did the lemon juice one but as long as they're rinsed you're good! Now they should just smell like weed .

Yeh weed is all I smell. Wow is this plant potent.

[SlyTown420]

I can only imagine how it must smell.

 

[Reave]

Box is holding at 51% RH with just buds hanging and pressed against wall. If it drops at all I will add the humidifier on low to get it up. I have a ceiling fan going full time in The room and will add the clip fan if required.

 

[Reave]

Woa I think the white widow

is ready too. I thought it should be a bit longer yet. What you guys think?

 

[HutchBenedict]

Congratulations on getting that plant in the drying box! That White Widow appears to have some amber, about the same as my Amnesia, and I'm chopping her tomorrow. So I'd say go for it but I'd listen to wiser voices than mine.

 

[Reave]

Oh she’s getting chopped. I did a shopping trip to get some h2O2 and some better buckets. As well as some flakes and some boveda packs.
