  1. If you trim wet the buds will shrink back and make a half arsed manicuring job very obvious which often leads to cleaning the buds up before putting them in jars to cure. It is super easy and fast though so its got that going for it. Trimming dry is a once off thing as the buds aren't going to shrink on your or anything but it is a much slower process as the leaves mould themselves in the shape of the buds as they dry and stick to everything like mad making it a much more delicate job. Personally I trim wet and clean up if its needed when they're dry. If I only had a few plants I'd dry them whole and trim entirely while dry but I just can't get past the speed and ease of trimming them up asap.
  2. I no longer water with plain water either, its always the nutes the plants need for their weekly feed and then 1/4 strength nutes the rest of the time. I recently tried flushing with 1/4 strength nutes and plain water and the plain water plant instantly turned to shit. It went from being super pretty to the ugliest thing ever in a few days while the others were showing signs of deficiencies but it was a very slow progression. I could still taste the nutes a little though so next time round I'm going 1/4 strength flush for a week and then plain water for 3-4 days to clear the last of the nutes out. Most important thing for coco imo is keeping the ph higher than normal. Normal hydro wants 5.8ph but coco does far better at 6.2ph and during the height of flowering you can run the plants higher than that as the ph will drop as phosphorus is used up bringing it back to the optimal range for the other nutrients. If you start at 5.8 you'll be running them too low and as nutes are used the ph will only move further away so run them a little higher than the mythical 5.8ph and in flower when they're really packing on the weight run them much higher.
  3. It should do great under the stronger light provided its not too hot where they are
  4. I recycle my coco by sifting it to remove the majority of the roots, turn some beneficial bacteria into the recycled coco, pot it up and flush it. To be honest I do it out of poverty and having enough bin space issues in my area trying to dump general garden waste let alone trying to find a spot for a few hundred liters of medium every harvest as well. If you are only doing a small grow though just ditch it and start fresh every time.
  5. They make sure to mention things like that because it makes their enemy on the war on drugs sound worse than them. It instantly conjures up feelings of disbelief at a new mother putting her child in the drug scene and makes you ignore the fact that it was the police tearing the family up and not the drug trade which was in fact supporting the family
  6. http://www.narcocheck.com/en/saliva-drug-tests/thc-marijuana-saliva-test.html I got the 4-6 hours from a demonstration done at mardigrass donkeys years ago. You can buy the same kinds of test kits for at home use these days though and the 4-6 hours still seems to ring true for saliva based testing.
  7. Should someone who wants to have some beers while driving be given instructions on how to evade detection considering their personal use of that drug becomes a public safety issue the second the get behind the wheel? Cannabis is no different imo. I know that it can have positive effects like slowing people down out of paranoia but it is a mind altering substance that can have very negative effects on a persons ability to drive such as increasing their reaction time. That's no different to a drunk person not seeing a car in time to avoid crashing into it so do the world around you a solid and either wait the 4+ hours to sober up enough to avoid detection or just leave the cones alone until you don't have to drive again for the day.
  8. If you know that security screening has been cheaped out on buying a plane ticket for the right flight not only makes economic sense it saves you from driving thousands of kilometers through pig infested lands making it the safer option too.
  9. I'm not even going to read that story because I know from experience the only jumping you do while overdosing on edibles is in to bed and thats if you're lucky enough to pick yourself up off the floor
  10. Most jobs involve contact with the public and come with the potential for life threatening situations. Even people working at McDonalds could burn the place down so I totally see where you're coming from. I'm personally off the opinion recreational drug use has no place in the workplace regardless of your occupation but obviously there is going to be a bit more of a concern about a bus driver being under the influence than some 16yo kid making you a cheeseburger while high. A persons drug use shouldn't interfere with their employment but that goes both ways because while we shouldn't expect to lose employment because of private drug use employers should have the right to expect their workers to be sober on the job. It's like being clean groomed and on time, if its a part of the job it should just be expected of them and breaking that rule should be grounds for termination because they're unfit to do their job but that should never give all employers the right to drug test the people working for them. Having said that though I think some occupations should have a zero tolerance approach and have mandatory drug testing because it would be in the public interest to do so. Doctors, politicians, police, etc. all have the potential to cause massive harm and even deaths on a large scale in the case of politicians so certain occupations should definitely be held to a higher standard than others. The hard thing to do is apply commonsense to the list of jobs that require absolute sobriety as there will always be someone belly aching out of self interest, the belief in privacy above all else, etc. but their gripes shouldn't hold any weight against the rest of society. A surgeon crying about his privacy for example should have dreamed of being sober while in that life and death situation where they play god as you can be damn sure everyone they work on expects them to be sober for it. I doubt you could even find a person that would genuinely let a surgeon anywhere near them if they were even slightly off their game from drug use a few days prior so it would be in the public interest to make that a sober occupation. The same could never apply to things like working in an office, retail, restaurants, etc. so as long as the people working in them live up to the requirement of being sober on the job their private use would never be an issue.
  11. I think people like police, doctors, bus drivers, etc. should be drug tested for on the job drug use as their jobs put the lives of others on the line but for everyone else they should be considered a gross invasion of privacy and not submitted to at all.
  12. I have one of those duct silencers and all they do is reduce turbulence in the air. It actually makes a noticeable difference to the volume of noise of the air exiting the ducting but they're far from worth the money. You could honestly get the same effect gluing a bunch of maccas straws together and stuffing your ducting with them like a plug. The best advice I could give is get the strongest and biggest fan you can afford for your grow area and dial it back using a fan speed controller. Larger fans move air far more efficiently than smaller ones which means you don't need to run them nearly as hard to move the same amount of air and in a larger duct air will also move at a much lower pressure drastically reducing the need for a duct silencer. That lower pressure also means the ducting vibrates considerably less which is a massive source of noise. Even with insulated ducting a ton of noise is produced so having a lower pressure makes a huge difference.
  13. If height is an issue and you can't stand any outside interference turning them before you go would likely be the best option.
  14. Fuck you universe, stop trying to get me raided.

      I'd be more worried about them coming back at harvest time and snatching your plants, personally. Lots of those guys are users.
