After each plant I grow I like to weigh it for personal reference. I only grow for personal but If im found with scales + my stash they would accuse me of dealing also which is just not worth the effort. Im thinking about some kind of inconspicuous weighing system but really dont know where to start for now. Ideas for constructing one? cheers RR

Hi all im new here, i used to be on overgrow before that died but this is my first post here I come posting because just recently i got my very first fresh bud, believe it or not id only ever bought and had pre dried bud. As ive come to find out, the plant it was grown on was taken as a clone from an indoor Afghan strain of some sort here in perth, and grown outside from a few months ago. the bud was taken off the plant either saturday the 17th or sunday morning the 18th. I need some of the bud for this friday night the 23rd leaving a 5 - 6 day drying period. But do not worry for that will be a small portion and the rest will not be wasted. I will attempt to 'cure' t…

I recently discovered that putting the dehumidifyer in the room where the stalks are hung to dry has it done and in jars in 2-3 days! There was very little smell except for right in the room. This seems to work as well as SS's wood stove! This little machine is amazing, it helps in summer with the high humidity we have here, and now it has another use! I got it at a yard sale, best thing I have ever found!

It's my first harvest in over 5 years, so im a bit rusty. This stuff looks to be done on a lot of the tops. but underneath on lower branches seem to be plenty of white hairs. A general rule i used to go by is when over half of the hairs are orange, than its ready. This looks mostly orange on top...should i cut the crop, or maybe just take off finished pieces. Im in week 5 1/2 at the moment. I was expecting another week of heavy growth but some looks done!!! What should i do!!!! In this pic you can see majority are orange, but the cola hasn't totally filled out like i was hoping. (partly i think because i had to go on vacation and couldn't trim lower branches at the pr…

Hi guys, what are your thoughts on buds that have been dried and compressed and left for a few years. the smoke quality is very mild, and it smells a little musty like a cross between cigars and the stuff that we used to get over in Egypt and the middle east - tourist weed What's the general opinion on this type of gear? Good for nothing, good for cooking - very interested in bringing this into the kitchen? And just a little worried about the musty smell, don't want to be inhaling any more nasty than already necessary. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

has anyone tried mixing ground/chopped cloves with their bud while it dries? i thought of it the other day while smoking a 'gudang garam' clove cigarette from bali, i find that cloves have a very pleasant odour and when smoked they have a fresh taste and actually numb your mouth and throat (i think they have quinnine or some similar anaesthetic) in them. just a thought, wouldnt mind trying it next time im able.

There is little doubt that environmental factors have a strong influence in modulating the amount of cannabinoids present in the different parts of the plants at different growth stages, as demonstrated by a number of articles (e.g., LYDON et al. 1987 Down; BOCSA et al. 1997 Down). However, the tripartite distribution of CBD/THC ratios in most populations is likely to underlie a discrete inheritance of the chemotype trait. Indeed, most authors agree that cannabinoid profiles are under strong genetic control. According to BEUTLER and DER MANDEROSIAN 1978 Down, the ratio of CBD/THC is a chemical marker of taxonomic significance. FOURNIER et al. 1987 Down stated that the can…

hi.......... ok ive had my crown heads hanging upside down for about a week and a half.........They felt crisp on the outside but were obviously still not completely dry in the middle......... I then put them in paper bags for another week................ felt a little dryer than before, but could still feel they werent 100% dry in the middle............ Example , some of the leaf stems hat are still attached to the buds DONT snap off....they just bend without snapping so even though they feel quite crisp on the outside, they arent completely dry yet as the leaf stems arent snapping off......... Cani jar them now, or should i wait longer ? cheers JASOon

If a plant has been vegged maybe a little too long and only the end 14 to 16 inches of each branch are thick and full of bud but below that line are hundreds of scraggy little hairy buds, would taking the top 14 to 16 inches away improve the size of the under buds if they were to keep going for awhile. If so, at what week would I cut the tops out and how much longer should the under buds go for. any help appreciated aussie1
