Nah, he just boasted about plant count and then got all butt hurt about fairly mild ribbing to start.
Nothing about 60 fluence lights, a million dollar building within a building, genius homeschooled toddlers, 400 lbs of top shelf weed, or educating us all on the finances of concrete flatwork. I miss that poster, he never came back after his timeout. Meth bender or jail, or both probably.
That cabin is marginally cleaner that the nasty shed cement guy posted too.

So why not dry them at home where it’s controlled? That cabin is nasty as fuck. Cramped and full of prime pathogens and a breeding ground for mold issues.

You don't absolutely need a drying room. But it's a hella lot of work if you don't use one. Some of the best smoke I've had was dried outdoors. But it's tough. You have to watch it like a hawk. It can be ready, one rain storm that night and it's rehydrated. Then you have to wait again. You can have huge humidity swings up here in Autumn.

Here's some Northern Lights I dried in a garden shed a couple years ago. Smoooothe smoke.

Here's some outdoor Original Glue from Nirvana, that tuned out amazing. Dried in an old farm workshop with windows removed.
Took 2 whole weeks ffs.

Nirvana has some good genetics if you know what you're doing.

Edited to add:
I guess that's true of most genetics. You can have good smoke from most any genetics if you treat them well.

Is this still true with Nirvana? It certainly was true 12-15 years ago, but seems that they get pretty harshed on today, especially stateside.
With all the stuff available from US breeders now, it’s different, but I was also very, very pleased with Nirvana stuff I grew back then.

Good point, my experience is from way back then. But I've also found that as my skill level has grown I've been happier with any genetics I've grown. So I think some of it is skill.

Yeah. The saying "know your plant" comes to mind. GG4 from two different breeders can be very different plants. I cringe every time I try a new strain. I'm looking at Tangie for next year, but I'm scared to pull the trigger. lol. I like big fat buds, but I do a lot outdoor, so that's hard to do unless you know the girl. Wedding Cake gave me a couple bags of popcorn last year. :(

Yeah, I love my WC clone but she's very finicky. But her smoke is worth it.

For the core of cannabis users I deal with they can tell outdoor/indoor and if the dry was on point. Legal cannabis has given ppl the ability to be snobby like wine and cigar smokers. Here soon there won't be any market for weed done any way other than perfect. Perfect market for me being ex military, engineer and ocd lol.

Every European breeder gets trashed stateside regardless of if they have good genetics or not. I've grown some of their stuff and was very satisfied. Most US breeders/pollen chuckers are overrated. You can't really even call many of them breeders. How is chucking pollen on anything and everything, making up some ridiculous name, breeding? Actual breeding takes more than a 3-4 month pollen chuck run.

Agreed.
It took 15 years for the BM to disappear after alcohol prohibition. It'll be faster this time. I had a bad year with a very heavy and late frost mid June. 85% of my outdoor is going into hash. 15% is bagged (AA).

I can see where you're coming from @Lordhooha, but I'm guessing the majority of wine/cigars sold are lower end brands. There will always be a market for lower priced goods, as there are alot more poor people than there are rich. Snob or not, $10 ain't getting Dom Perignon :lol: Whoever becomes the Harbor Freight of weed, is gonna be sitting high on the hog :clap:

Not saying it has to be expensive just good. Snobby ppl come from all walks of life tbh.
