What’s up FarmFam, LiftedLabs here! I appreciate you all taking the time to read this, been loving and learning this beautiful plant that we all adore so much for 7 years now, boy has it been a ride! I’ve learned so much with more to learn dedicating every single day these past 7 years to our green goddess, I’ve worked in the commercial market in CA for a year, but recently decided to do my own thing realizing I wanna become more of a craft farmer myself, it was a big step but everyone starts somewhere it’s that end result we all chase! I hope I can help in areas that I am familiar with, but as I also said still have much much more improvement to go, but I hope from a wonderful community like this we can all learn from each other and maybe get a chance to burn one someday, I’m about shedding good vibes and positivity, spread the love to all, I look forward to contributing what I can to this community and encouraging everyone out there who has thoughts about growing to just do it! Don’t let nothing stop you! Learn as you go and welcome everything with an open mind and open heart always! “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it’s the courage to continue that counts” I appreciate you all and I look forward to making your acquaintance!

Hi First Time Grow here, in a tiny tent in my room. One Spider has graced me with her presence. I've decided to allow her to stay, and I named her "FatAss". I'll probably regret this, but they do eat bugs, so.... My plants are packed in there tight; I'm going to plant only one or two next time. Here are my tiny Buds, at 5 weeks. I just added a taste of Dr Earth's Flower Girl. So far, no pests, no mold, no disease. I've been getting away with my Ignorance, so far.

@sambapati Of course! Mostly whole plant hanging was done at the facility I was at, no leaves were removed during that time, hung in a dark room(no light at all unless green lights) about 60-65 degrees and 55-60 humidity, your nipples could cut glass if you stepped in the drying room no doubt!, hung for around 10-12 days, then individual branches were cut and stored inside storage totes( imagine walking into hardware store asking for 250 totes at a time, best part when you told them exactly what it was for, stayed in totes for roughly two days or until branches are completely dry, then we would hand buck the flowers carefully into same bin for few days (burping periodically) before they were trimmed and off to cure! I myself believe in the darkness period usually 25-35 hours for me, I also tend to drop my water temps to about 65 when I’m in ripening stage as well as my room temps and humidity, usually I’m about 65-67 temp and 40-45 on humidity last week only in flower, I personally believe it helps with preventing your trichomes from degrading, but that’s just me and some methods I’ve grown to love using! Cheers Fam!
