smallbuds Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Iv got a real harvesting dilemma had a crap auto grow with my firs coco this time,but iv let it run. im moving back to soil as iv only ever had a bad grow once with fungas nats with soil got 5 autos in tent in auto-pots a coupe were fine 3 showed deficences 2 worse than others. Thing is i normally i normally dry in tent 2 blueberry, 2 purple lemonade, 1 lemon pie they soul all be ready at 9 weeks or so, but there not one purple lemonade is ready now to chop im at 9weeks and a few days now The problem is one of the purple lemonade needs chopping asap. The other one and lemon pie need another week, im guessing. The two blueberry's are catch up but looking them, I recon the need at least two more weeks of flower but will still be worth keeping i recon from looking at em and the drooping leavs that it was cold shock now temps have dropped and other 3 were more tolerant of lower temps any ideas if how to play it and dry the one that need chopping asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubdub Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Maybe just harvest all of them in a week and move on to the next grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't thing the blueberry will be anywhere near a chop then may have to lob them. I just took a look at the closest to chop with a microscope and its not as bad as i first thort theirs very little clear, there all cloudy, no amber yet so I may be able to push that one a week maybe a week and a half if im lucky take another look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Mix Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Have you run these from seed before? Might be worth checking the faster finishing one to see if it’s self pollinated herm or maybe rot . Both of these can cause a plant to look like it’s finishing early 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If I need to harvest and dry a plant before the others it called for the good old dry box and ducting. Just get a cardboard box big enough and connect it to the tent via ducting. Like so (my last grow the Chardonnay finished earlier than the others. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lofthatchfarms Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) @Military Grade do you think you could get away this setup but use a 1m tent in replacement of the cardboard box mate? Having a similar problem but with a couple of plants and no spare extraction Quote Edited February 23 by lofthatchfarms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) @lofthatchfarms 1m tall? if so that would be fine as longit has the width also needd, Plenty of people use little tents for early finishing plants. A tent would also be more convenient for the door access when checking their dry state, When i use tape cardboard boxes to hold the flaps closed the flaps can still end up opening, bloody cat got inside it one time The only pros in favour of the cardboard box is it's cheap and it can easily folded and put away quicker Edited February 23 by Military Grade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 @lofthatchfarms yes mate , thats pretty much exactly what i do but its a 60x60x160 tent rather than a box and i extract from the top for a slower (?) dry as it whips in cooler air from lower down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 i had to have mine at the bottom of the box for cat furr reasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the tent i just opened a mesh panel at the back where my (podgy) cats cannot venture One of them, not sure which one, did a honking shit in my drying tent last year Thankfully it was square in the middle of the garland tray and between runs but yeah, my own fault for not zipping up properly, im much better at g.room security now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofthatchfarms Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Thanks guys @BilgePump @Military Grade and its a 1m x 1m x 1.8m so quite big space in comparison to a cardboard box hopefully have enough air movement, cant comment on the cats im a dog man myself 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
