    Do carbon filters ever go bad? I don't care about smell at all

    There are two things which contribute to carbon filtration: porosity and charge. Porosity is how porous the material is. One pound of carbon has a surface area of about 0.15 square miles. Using a pre-filter is key so you don't block all that surface area with large dust particles. Most carbon...

    I put mine in air-tight 15mL centrifuge tubes with some rice.

    Strong smell & sticky in veg.

    All the plants I've grown smelled quite a bit half way through veg. And sap doesn't equal resin inside the trichomes so that doesn't matter. You never really know until you've harvested the plant, dried it and smoked it.

    First time reversing a female with STS

    Thought I would check a calyx to see what I have since none of the seeds are really showing yet, but they look good:

    Two years old cured northen lights

    I still have some three year old Zombie Kush. It's brown but still hits hard and very narcotic and a bit psychedelic. I sold a few oz to a friend and he still has them. I'm going to trade a fresh oz I just harvested for one of those back. Telling you right now, some peppercorns under the tongue...

    Harvest Soon?

    Sure, here is a good paper (there are more but I've printed them and need to dig them out): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0267498 Basically, most cannabis can be clustered into three groups by primary and secondary terpene: - high caryophyllene-limonene -...

    Harvest Soon?

    That's actually bro-science. India/Sativa duality has been debunked via lab testing. Many cultivars between them have very similar cannabinoid and terpene profiles.

    why trim finished bud

    $20 for a silicone brush... jeeze. They are $5 at Walmart for the same thing lol. I hate over-dry weed so I'm better off just doing it right with some scissors. I don't care for trimming either, but if I block out some time on a weekend I get it all done and that's it.

    Ah, CFLs. Grew my first few plants in a space bucket with 4 CFLs. Got me high anyway.

    Trics cloudy or clear?

    9th week from 12/12? No amber plus a lot of white hairs means they're probably only at week 6. I bet they stretched for 2-3 weeks.

    Is, getting a little run off every time I water going to achieve a much leaching as 1 or 2 big flushes would?

    I rinse, sift and double-buffer my coco with Cal-Mag before I use it and I've never had any cation exchange issues. I use Cal-Mag, GH Flora (micro and bloom only) and Floralicious Plus. This is the first time I've used Floralicious Plus and I believe it has definitely increased yield from my...

    Grove Bags?

    I'd have gotten the 1/4 lb bags but they only had ones with the "window." I want plain black bags so got the 1/2 lb ones. They just came today and seem good. Also ordered from their website directly as Amazon didn't have much of a selection and there are some reports of knock offs.

    Is, getting a little run off every time I water going to achieve a much leaching as 1 or 2 big flushes would?

    I grow in 100% coco and almost never water until runoff and have had 0 issues in 10 years. Once a week I will use plain water though. I also use shitty tap water for my feedings and no issues. PPM out of faucet is 250 with chlorine and chloramine, I pH it right and no issues. Don't overthink...

    cannabis induced anxiety management.

    THC stimulates the amygdala pretty hard. Many people, including me, developed a sensitivity to THC over time. The solution is to take very small tokes and build up your high slowly. If I take a giant toke then I'll be uneasy for awhile but I don't get panic anymore. I can still get as high as I...

    60-70rh when lights out late flower/ripe

    60-65% at night is fine if you have a lot of air movement. I had a bud start rotting because it was simply laying against the tent wall due to heavy weight. Didn't see it until I rotated the plants as I do every few days. Chopped that part of the bud off and the rest was fine. But you WILL get...
