Drying too fast

[turksteelman]

I would post a couple pics of the God Bud if I can find out how to post on this site. Anyone have any experience doing that?

How about a humidifier, adjusting the level down a little bit each day?

NOT directly under the buds though lol.

I think I figured out the pics thing. God Bud from Jordan of the Islands. God Bud - Jordan of the Islands - 420 Magazine Photo Gallery and one more http://www.420magazine.com/gallery/s...hp/photo/82645

9.5oz dry was the final tally. This means that when I weighed it wet and then dry, I lost about 83% of the weight. I'm still happy because this will keep me all year and then some. Party on folks

Bet it will be awesome after it finishes curing.

BtW, how much light did you grow it under?

And were you giving it any "bulking" agents such as BudSwell or the like?

[turksteelman]

I grew it under one bank of 2'x4' T5's, approx 40k lumens and also a 400w HPS. I also included 2 side lights of T5's which added and additional 10k lumens. I used a bulking agent the last 3 weeks of which I can't recall the name. They have a liquid that you use thoughout the flowering grow and then a granulated mixture to apply the last 3 weeks. I think it may have been called quikbloom or something like that. I packed everything up for the year. 1 grow a year is all I need for medicine.

I have been wondering if much of the "bulk" that the bulking agents add is simply water-weight that would disappear upon drying.

That may be the case. I didn't expect 83% loss. From what I've researched around the forum, 75% is more in line with the expected loss.
