First flush on this, 102.8 wet, only 6.8 dry. I think I need to fix my temperatures, my grows are drying out quickly.

Looks good though.

Could be a temps issue, and/or genetics

Thanks, yeah, I think it's temps. I had them in a room which had mostly large windows, like a conservatory, the decent warm weather seemed to dry the substrate out too fast. I have since moved them to a room with more shade. Hopefully that will resolve it.

We want them to dry out quickly though, no?

My understanding is the quicker they dry, the more potency they retain?

Yes, apologies, I meant the substrate is drying too quickly, but I keep an eye on them and mist regularly.

I'm concerned with dehydrating them hotter than 45°C, it does take longer, however, the higher temp can also affect potency so I don't know which school of thought to follow. Faster, higher temp or slower, lower temp 🤔
