Hello there, I am in a state of confusion because I pretty much have no where to dry my buds anywhere other than the bush this season. I was planning to get a large cardboard box and put string through it to hang em up. Then I thought about it more considering that I might to need put up exhaust fans and all. Does anyone know if there any long lasting solar panel fans or would a big battery hooked up to a small desk fan do the job. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks

Hi all, newbie here. I'm growing my first plant. It's indoors with LED lighting. It's afghan or afghan skunk. Anyway, it's taking a ridiculously long time to grow, it's been months. I have buds grown but the pistule type things wont go cloudy. I'm in Australia, sunrise at 6am, sunset at 8pm. Theres been hot weather and humidity lately which seem to make my plants branches sag. Even the main stem is starting to keel over. So I'm on this forum to learn how to speed up harvest time. I was using 12/12 lighting but just changed it to 10/14 because there is still some ambient light before and after those times. Guys, am I doing the right thing? I would muchly apprec…

So I decided to try a bit of curing while I had the option to do so. While it hasn't been long it has already changed them in that the smell is different and a sample from them is very, very smooth.

Hi all, I like to weigh my grows, really just to see my gpw and understand my personal usage and requirements. So, what sort of scales can people recommend please. I have a small digi scale ive had for decades, but my older age laziness is getting the better if me. I only care for weights within a gram, weighing a minimum of an ounce at a time, preferably 2-3. Any ebay recommendations please ? Weighing in 2-3 gram increments is doing my head in !!

Guys as topic states. No chance of drying my harvest indoors this year. I planned on doing it outside in a camping tent with an oscillating fan running in there. Is this possible without wrecking the bud? Any other ideas for the dry/cure? Thanks.

I thought I would put this up as there is some confusion about what 'gram per watt' means and how to calculate it. GPW is a statistical measure of the total amount of lighting energy used to produce each harvest. Thus GPW isn't simply - I used a 400 w lamp and harvested 400 g... I have an efficient grow. How then would we compare to grows, each using a 400w lamp and yielding 400g but differing in other factors? To be meaningful, we must take account of energy use over time. Once we have done that we can compare grow cycles that vary in a range of factors (lamp size, time, lighting schedule, and harvest). The worked example is imaginary and answers the question abo…

Hi All, I actually have two questions for this post. The first being... In the next few weeks I'll be getting ready to hang up my HSO Purple Trainwreck. The buds on this thing are very, very dense. Which lead me to wonder about how best to dry her out. If time permitted I would just hang it till its dry at the stems - but in this case I want a good dry with out stuffing the taste or how good the smoke is\could be but in a fairly short time. I had read that drying @ 27c and no higher is a good start and perhaps could have it dry \ smoke able in about 3-4 days. But I thought I would ask for advise on this first. Due to them being so dense it will be easy to th…

i have to plants growing and i was told when they are ready to harvest i should cut the plant just above the soil and then sit it in a pot of boiling sugar(and water), this will supposedly push the resin from the rest of the plant into the buds.Any you guys ever heard of this? is it accurate?

In another thread a grower was concerned that a camera flash might up set 'flowering'. I thought I'd post this here. There are two kinds of plants, long day and short day were, the length of the dark peroid is critical, If these plant experience a FLASH of RED during the dark cycle then they will flower or not flower depending on their make up. Cannabis is a short day plant for flowering, that is if the day is long the plant wont flower. The pix below show how this works; with a VERY exciting true to come out of this. Its all about the hormones. If you take the branch of one of the plants inside a tent; extend that outside the tent into the rest of a DARKEND room then t…
