temps for me range from 19-22c or 69-72f and my humidity is 45-55% ive seen it higher but hard to control it in a closet lol. Yeah for 45$ the light is doing its job….

Lose of terps -_- hopefully not…. But is what it is i guess

Ive been there too, its not gonna be tasteless dont worry, but yes unfortunately the heat evaporates terpenes. Try to keep a cool temperature for late flower, I like 19ºC or even less but that would be at your own risk because some strains dont like less than 19ºC. That should help you with the terpenes.

Mine are 150W for 60$ each so more or less we have the same equipment hahaha. Chinese LEDs for the win. I wish I could spend on a decent panel but theyre hella expensive for me. Still I can produce monster buds with these lights, the downside is that the lower buds are not as good but I just pinch them out before they grow.

What does get mixed in the articles? This is how I do it:
If humidity is high I chop each branch individually
If humidity is low I hang the whole plant.
Drying room humidity can go from 55 to 60%ish max but thats just the drying room humidity, you will have to check the humidity on the buds once you see that the drying room humidity goes to 55%. I use a probe inside the bud, when theyre at 58-62% I jar them and cure them in the mason jars. I used to use boveda packs and I still have in case it gets too dry because I neglect it but its better to monitor it and burp frequently (1 time per day for a few weeks then I forget about them)
I think the reason youre getting mixed info is because there's many ways to do it.
how would i control the dry room? hmmm... guess ill use my other closet lol and hang me a plant

I see, can you tie the branches somewhere? I would use my indoor bars but I dont know if you have anything at hand, lowering them with a cord would also help with light exposure to lower buds.

Its winter so its easy now, if its too humid put a fan on the door aiming to the exit, with airflow the humidity goes down greatly which is good for the first days until its more dry and out of risk of mold. As for the temperature, I do the same, if I want them more chilly I use the fan as intraction fan instead of extraction fan.

everything ive tied down was to its self... ive been thinking about tieing down other nods but not sure to ware.... my cat likes to try and bite at my plant....

O we can help with this dear.
Do you have some zip strips?
These need some zip strips is all. It is a technique you can do in the tent or area and the light needs to be supported but not removed.
You have to much wire from the panel to the fixture. You will have to reduce the wire length.

First you will need to support the panel on a box or something to get slack in the wire or rope hangers.
Then take a zip strip and put it at the top of the wire at the place you connect it to the top of the roof. Circle the zip strip around both wires and push through the zip portion. Pull the end through untill you have a circle of plastic zip strip at the top of the tent around both wires.
Now pull the circle down until the wires at the panel now run right at each other.
You will have what was a long separate separate set of 2 wires that become one wire very close to the panel. The wires used to go up and a steep angle now that run at each other and are together from where the meet until they get to the top of the tent.
So you now have a long set of 2 wires touching that go down to the panel where they split and go left and right to the panel.
Now repeat the zip strip at the top of the wire or string set. You now have 2 places that have zip strips on them. The area from the top of the tent to just above light panel has slack in it. You can loop this area and shorten the line to raise the panel
I use a similar technique when I mount my 2 panels to the top of the tent permanent like. I use blocks and stuff to boost the plant up to keep plants in the zone but imagine how much light room you have if the back of your light panel was touching the cross bar at the top of the tent.

Can you put some hooks like the ones to hold pictures on the wall? Then with some cord youre all set.

light bumped to 75%

what does an almost feet smell mean coming from said plant? first day after the 75% light maybe not feet but its off...
 
Getting frosty! The smell is probably strain related, skunk is one of the major profiles in El Dorado (I searched for it) so that might be the dirty socks smell youre talking about. Skunk smells like skunk, quite literally, it stinks, it even has one of the same sulfuric compounds that skunk spray has that gives that "awful" smell.

I call it el dorado cause im dumb. Tropacana cookies is the strain sorry for confusion
 
Oh, in any case both el dorado and tropicana cookies have girl scout cookies as one of the parents, which is the one that gives that pungent smell.
