Leaf removal tips, dialing in drying, ripening cues, & much more!

Jason hosted solo this week and had lots to say thanks to some very insightful questions, growmies! From efficient leaf removal methods and maintaining optimal light intensity during the transition from veg to flower to the impact of airflow on plant health & so much more, there’s no shortage of fresh facts on this pod. And in fact, if you like what you hear each week, do us a solid and consider nominating Office Hours as Best Content Creator of the Year for the International Emjay Awards!

A few of our favorite moments from this week’s show:

Drying Right

“When we look at what's the constraining variable for a lab test of dried cannabis, and/or how do we optimize the weight and quality of that cannabis, we're actually looking at the humidity itself in the bud, and we make some specialized equipment that looks at what's called water activity, which is a measurement of the humidity in that bud itself." – Jason

Dripper Placement Tips

“Whenever I am looking at how does the water content in the substrate is affected by the drippers, it's kind of like an upside-down ice cream cone. As that water drips through the substrate, it's also spreading out a little bit. This is one of the reasons that I like to have my drippers in the corners of the substrate.” – Jason

Learning from Overwatering

"Overwatering is typically just going to mean some amount of stagnation of water. To me, that usually means we're not seeing enough transpiration and evaporation." – Jason
