… Can I ask a stupid question?.. What are Cvaults?.. 
I’ve just been using large mason jars during the cure, then large jars with a tighter seal along with a boveda pack for storage…
Cheers!..

CVaults can be purchased in various sizes. I bought 2 that store 1/4 LB each. They are “Full” not smashed. They are a bit pricey but nice way to bulk store you meds, same as mason jars I just hate messing around with glass containers with my hands being not the best.

I went ahead and added the 2nd fan. Had my head up my a@@ and did not realize it was a 2 speed fan. I had it blowing in the closet on low. Luckily I have knocked out 2000 of 8500 replies to @hellraiser 's Gorilla Glue thread. Saw him performing Maint on his blades and finger guard fan cages. Mine were filthy.
I have one fan currently on low and one fan on high and that dropped my RH% down to a steady 55% at 78F. Still may be a tad high, but the Fabric Bags are still heavy with fluids so I know that number will burn down. We had some rain here lately too so I am sure it will get dusty and dried back out again soon.

Yeah, I’ve looked at CVaults but they are too pricey for me.

I hear you Sis. My collection will end at two. I am going to Go with the Spanky Tub method. I do have a Food Saver Vac but I would be hesitant to use it possibly sucking too much air out of the bags and crushing the buds, but as I grow for personal consumption I need to start thinking of long term storage solutions under $70 bucks range for sure.
Update: 9 OCT (Day 42 / 6 weeks - Above Ground)
For my audience of one I submit today’s update.
Posting 2 Pics today. One from my previous “Grow 2” where I attempted to follow the Nebula’s main line manifold. They were ILGM - Z-Kittle and Wedding cake autos one of each. Popped Dirt 4 Jan 2021 and harvested 30 March 2021. The Two Plants were in 5 Gallon Bags.
The leaves were already starting to get F-d if you look at the last grow pics.
I might add that this pic from Grow 2, … I performed two additional cuts to the single topping these I am growing currently got growing. Pictures are at approx same 6 Week time frame.
I posted another Pic from Today. Grew out to 6 nodes cut at 3.5 node -1 cut only, 3 each 3 gal bags.
Earlier this year during Grow 2 was about the time when I met up with @spankyjr1 and started drinking some on his Cool-Aid. I started getting weed smarter.
This previous grow is by far my best smoke I grew dried and cured. The 3 Plus Oz they provided I got Stored in the in CVault 1. Z-Kittle was very sticky as it grew. Touch it and soap and water barely washed off the sticky feeling. Very candy like aftertaste. I had read that @hellraiser got a batch of Hermie Z-kittle Photo seeds and was not super happy with the strain somewhere on the Forums here.
My Z-Kittle is my personal desert tasting weed I got on hand. Helps when you finish them off properly.
I am kind of interested in that Flawless Finish I read about on these forum posts from others.
The current candidates all 3 Wedding Cake ILGM Autos are going to fill out nice Today all in the approx. 17-20 Inch Height Range. I like short and compact plants easier to take them out and move them around on watering day.
I am anticipating a cut at approx. 100 day mark maybe a bit sooner. I do have 3 plants competing for space this grow, so we will just see how it plays out.
Again, these are Autos….I am going to cut when the Hair look like they changed color. I have a Jewelers loop but with autos…why bother? I ask myself.
I know 100% that I am doing a lot better than any previous grow attempts with really 80% of my thanks belongs to Spanks, but always reading the words of others @meeasy and @caligurl etc. One day when I know I am not going to be weed poor by missing a grow season for my indoor attempts I will try 1 photo period in my space.
I do have some Blue Dream ILGM auto seeds that I never have grown out that I am itching to give a whirl. Last grow I had one BD sprout using the teaspoon of peroxide method that @beardless shared, but, …. I put the tiny plant in the grow chamber at the bottom of the floor thinking it would be OK and Fried it.
… Did I mention that I get dangerous when I get to thinking?
Tomorrow around this time is watering day. I need to collecting my RO Water now. I need to capture 4.5 gal for my 2 bucket watering as the plants are on different requirements due to using recycled dirt in one of the bags. Easier math for mixing ml amounts for my stoned A@@.

Update 10 OCT (Day 43 Above Dirt)
My numbers from today are below with pics. I making a chart to record vital statistics each event. It is a work in progress so tell me what I missed adding. I am just a dangerous a@@ Grow Rookie and I know it. I need to pick up a clip board. I wanted something better than my little Green Book that I have been using to record events. Once the grow is complete I will just file it away, and if I ever grow the strain again I will have a Known benchmark to compare against. Going to add a page for Dry and Cure check sheet.
I need to get some plastic tubs and some of those cheap hygrometers strips for later. I only have two and they are in use. My CVaults are still in use.
My bags dropped from a 5 day watering schedule to a 4 day watering schedule. I am watering to 20% run off and I can see the difference in the leaves from my previous attempts. Plants look fairly good I think this “Grow Around”. It has been HOT outside here and my Temps climbed to 84F on the 4th day between fluid events. I was watching it closely. Come on Cooler Outdoor Temps!!
I defoliated pretty hard today exposing the bud sites. I looked at the leaves I cut off and they still look descent. I had one leaf that had a spot on it but guessing I splashed something on them?
I know Neam Oil can’t be used in Flower but I thought I would go ahead and buy Neem and the Capt Jacks Dead Bug killer (Spinosad) to have on hand. I think the latter can be used in flower if you see pests sparingly? I know I need to have some on hand for the what ifs in future grows. Here we get so much wind that air borne pests (Red Mites) just blow thru the air. Hard to keep those off the outdoor “Regular” plants.
Below are the numbers from today. I included the previous run off from last fluid event. I see that the one bag of Happy frog must have had “Hot” clumps of what ever they use in the bag. I think next time when I grow 3 plants I will buy one bag of Happy Frog and I will mix is a extra dab of perlite to make sure I don’t use recycled dirt again in my 3rd bag like I am doing this time. Rookie mistake…Not having enough dirt material on hand for Grow Kick off.
All pics are from today.

Love to hear your thoughts on these AutoFlowers…I am entering 7th week, 43 days old. I know my plants are not photoperiod plants, but PPM for Week 7 is what I am looking at on the attached chart.
1000-1400 PPM Range.
Judging by my run off numbers I just posted from today fluid event,
I am thinking all three should just get water when I juice them here in approx 4 days from now judging by my run off numbers today.
Maybe a 1/4 Label just to keep my foot on the Gas Pedal so to speak next time. I am along way from the flush and if I can keep these things hovering 1400-ish I would be happy at this stage of the grow. Love to hear any opinions @spankyjr1 @beardless Throw them out there. This is somewhat of a experiment I have going.
I know I am going to finish these off better than that last batch of 2 indoor - outdoor plants I cut down in May.
I need to go back and review @Hellraiser 's journal. I know he mentioned he lays off hitting the plants with CAL Mag once they are in a certain age/week in Flowering. I can’t remember right off the top of my head.

I was looking at your plant and wondering
I would not prune them out at this point but was thinking about keeping it in mind next time around. If it was a photo I would take them out without hesitation. I’m not so sure about an auto.
They have a great solid base.

I only did my first autos this year and I did almost no defoliation of them…

I’m not sure about auto plants but I would go 1/4 strength on bags 1&2 and water only bag 3 recheck numbers after the next event hopefully you’ll be able to feed all equal amounts after that
Plants looking good keep your eye on the prize!

Brother Beardless,
I went ahead and lopped it off. This ILGM Wedding Cake Auto you can take a Machete after them and it won’t phase them.
I made the game time decision to “Shave the Girl’s Legs,” as to bring air flow thru my grow box.
My plants are packed as tight as us kids were packed into the floor of the Cotton Bowl at those festival Concerts… back in the day. I am talking sardine can tight.
I like my vertical growth on these plants.
You working on Growing any Killer Buds for the wife?
Thanks Spanks,
Trying to not lose focus. Paying more attention the the leaf color. It is starting to make sense to me now.
Thanks for mentoring me and asking the thought provoking questions.
Having said all that… throw out opinions and don’t leave me now…LOL
