On day 4 of my first harvest. In an effort to keep my empty tent with my 3 hanging plants at a perfect 55% humidity, I set my 4 month old Trotronics humidifier in there. At times the humidity would get too high so I turned it way down. This morning my tent was full of vapor, my humidistat read HH, the plants were dripping and there was water on the floor. Ugh. Will my plants mold?
Ah! That's terrible :( You may still be able to salvage as long as there's no mold. You may want to keep the humidifier off for 12-24 hours to let them dry faster, then put the humidifier back on but lowered - i.e. 45-50% ... But it really depends on how wet they are.
Also, can you post a picture? I'm interested to see it.
There’s not much to show now. I opened the tent, turned my fan on high and dried it out for 24 hours. Got the humidity down to 35%. The plants smelled like wet hay for a day. I cleaned my humidifier. The eye above the humidistat may have been dirty? I set it at 50% and now it’s running perfectly at 54% and smells wonderful again.
Glad to hear its getting better!
And BTW I made the leap and ordered a SensorPush after this mess!
For my last two grows, I've used these: https://myherbsnow.com/
Worked great. 28 to 30 hours and the buds were dry and at around 65% humidity. Also, frees up your grow room for your next grow right away. Worry Free......................
so at 30 hrs the stems broke & then you knew they were good to go into jars ?they say 96 hours .. not harsh & still retained flavor profiles ? kind of flies in the face of traditional methods . did you happen to use the vacuum jars they sell or just mason jars to cure ?
Yes, 30 hours is a good time to check the humidity, and start the curing process. give or take an hour or so. No Mason jars. I use these: https://freshstor.com/product-category/cvault/ Which also work great. No Light on your harvest while curing.
Cool thanks . I've always kept them in the dark both drying & curing. Just tough to believe a 2-4 day dry time wont be too quick but I'm going to give it a try. Mr. C hasn't steered me wrong yet. Gotta give him props on the electric tr Rick sky 300 too . Amazing results colors & torches like I haven't seen before. I have a couple c vaults too , there the best
