Hello There.

Yes sir, RKY. It is a Colorado strain you nailed it! Picked it up at a HTCC last year.
Blueberry X Rare Dankness#1(Triangle Kush x {Ghost OG x (Ghost OG x Chem Dawg)}

I had 4 beans left so I popped 2.. praying! :lol: that one is male and one is female to continue this strain for next year, cuz keeping a mother can be a pain, if I move often for work.

I know they (rare dankness) have better strains than this one,
I wanted to get the Ghost Train Haze#1 but shit sold out FAST!

I really like the dude Scott from Rare Dankness(don't know him personally). It just seems like he REALLY knows his shit, just from videos on youtube and interviews he has done with Danny Danko @ high times. You have any experience with his gear?
Thanks,
CL

You can raise humidity with a humidifier (of course) or a simple bucket/pot of water with a soaked towel in it and a fan blowing on it. Just keep an eye on it if it doesn't have built in controls; you don't want it too high either. ;)

nope, never heard of them until now.
i see there are 2 places to get their seeds. too bad they are way up in Denver.

i came across 303seeds that are also CO based. from the pix on their site, the strains they have bred look pretty killer

i've been doing clones since i started. i wish i could get clones of some of these strains. guess i'll have to try a seed grow one of these days

that is the most expensive bird feed in the world! :lol:

yeah RKY, clones are the way to go if you have access to them, or if you have the room to keep your own mother, but they never have them at the dispensary I go to.

awesome! Had me laughing for an hour! upon closer research.... :lol:

cool thanks for the tip! I looked for a humidifier today they are ~$50-$75 by my house, but I am going to try the DIY approach for a bit and see what happens.

:mrgreen: DAY5 :mrgreen:
78F-81F daytime temp
30% average humidity <--- trying to raise (with bucket/soaked towel/fan) will post results.
here they are today.

RKY, yeah I just checked out 303 seeds! they look they have nice stuff, Jet-Fuel "G6" was my favorite off the list on there site.

Hello There.

Quick Update, just topped them so I am going to let them veg for one more week to give them some time to recover from topping stress.

The DIY humidity help SME gave worked ok but I could not achieve the 60% humidity levels I was shooting for. The exhaust fan is just pulling too much air. The level has been hovering around 45-46% so I will keep doing this for the next 1-2 weeks-ish.

I think that the SS400 is partially to blame for the low humidity levels in the tent, because of the way the fans blow across the heat sink, it is like a hairdryer running in there 18 hrs/day. I can say for sure building a DIY exhaust manifold would help tremendously.. Although, the low humidity levels will be very nice, for me, in flower and late flower as Mold can be an issue where I live.

I FIXED THE SCROG SCREEN! NOMOREDUCTTAPE!! :lol: NOMOREZIPTIES!! :lol: NOMORESTRING!! :lol:
I am sooo much happier with it as you can tell. check it out!
Anyone got any suggestions, tips or anything I can do to help this out please gimme a shout out.

:mrgreen: T-Minus 1 Week To Flower :mrgreen:
::79-81 deg //45-46% rH::

hey chronic,

since you are flowering soon it won't matter too much but next time you are at walmart, check out the vicks vaporizers (humidifiers). i think i got mine for 20 bucks or so a few years ago. with it running on low 24/7, i can keep my humidity usually between 60 and 70 pretty easy. even at 8700 feet.

but you'll be in good shape for flower with your current humidity levels.
