Most of the time leaf tips are burnt, also u may taste it after dried

Does that effect quality?

Even if u flush properly?

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

flushing obviously helps lol but if you've over fed the most of the cycle it is inevidable are you using overdrive or just balanced ph water? and are you flushing 1 or two weeks?

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

I'm flushing for 1wk and I'm using final phase. I use overdrive only on the last 2wks be4 flushing

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

meant to say final phase my bad, honestly though you have the right idea.. I don't think it will be a big notice unless you maxed out the nutes on your feeding chart but I doubt you did, what chart did you use? bcnl or an.com?

I used the bcnorthernlights chart but I used alittle less than what it called for

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

also luvpiff, I got off the phone with my rep again and he was so naive, telling me that's it completely no big deal to have the airlines still plugged in...so exactly as you said, I could hear this buzzing sound, so I lifted the flower tub and obviously the airstones were running...what does this mean now, I have the replace my effing air pump?

 

[luvpiff]

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

Take the lid of the top of the machine and see if the main line came loose. Otherwise, yes u have to replace it. Tell bcnl they should replace for free the first time around.

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

Here are my 2 options. The silver rack is my first choice but I can get a smaller version of the folding rack at walmart. I'll also get a tiny fan to put in the box to keep slow fresh air flowing at all times.

Re: Bloombox hydroponic grow "chrystal"

Today is harvest day!! It took me 4hrs but I was def worth it. I turned the light on in the box to take a pic, they are sealed up in the dark for a week,
Here they are...

Good Job my friend

Thx ozric420!!
Feels good to see all the work pay off. From looking at them it looks close to a 1lb. How much will I lose after drying u think? Will they get more potent the longer I cure? I bought 15 mason jars but I think I need about 10 more. Can't wait to smoke it LOL .

Expect to lose 75-80% of the weight to drying, so if you have a lb wet, you will wind up with about 3 oz dried. They won't gain potency in curing. What curing does is improve flavor and smoke-ability. It breaks down the remaining chlorophyll and sugars as it ages and makes for a better smoke.

What size mason jars are you using? 15 is a lot. I use 1/2 gallon jars, they seem to keep things at a good RH. And as with most things, larger volume means easier to manage. I would think that your whole plant (at least in the pics) would fit into a single 1/2 gallon jar (maybe a little extra into a quart jar).

Read up on the drying and curing threads, there's a lot of good information on how to do it right.
