Human faeces are known among gardeners as 'night soil.' You don't want to go do a poo in your garden patch, though. All manures must be composted before use on plants, at least a year or so.

If I could keep a bud around here for more than a few days, I'd use a humidor! Sounds like a great way to keep them at perfect smoking moisture content. Glad it entertained you. ;) heh, the Hon Paul J Keating used the 'precopernican' pejorative in regards to the hopelessly and regressively...

yeah, it's too easy to get them soppy wet with spraying instead of moving water into the buds molecule by molecule by simply exposing them to very high humidity with the 'barely-damp paper towel in a tupperware' method. You could rehydrate with citrus juice or peel, but I personally prefer...

Easy, just hang dry or use a bud dryer to get the buds to the point where the outer material is quite dry, nearly crisp, but the stem within remains flexible. Then, put them in an airtight container to allow the moisture in the stem to wick to the outer part of the bud. Takes about a day for the...

Sorry you got suckered on the street deal. Grow your own and solve the problem.

I guess when you can't prove your false assertions, you can always fall back on wives' tales and 'what everybody else does'. Suppositions, guesses and wives' tales are rampant in cannabis growing; just takes a few trash talkers to keep them going. RIU readers have had a gutful of the crap...

In utterly insignificant amounts at low temperature. Even if decarboxylation did occur in any significant amount in 'curing', since we already know it happens in abundance when smoking or making cannabutter, why then do you need to do it twice? Curing is unnecessary and does not increase...

Just do flood trays, so much simpler. Easy to clean, can't clog, etc.

Your claim that 'curing improves potency' is false. Decarboxylisation, your desperate get-out claim when caught out, does not occur in anyone's idea of drying or curing. Any other steaming piles of wisdom for us today?

If you were going to use big RW blocks or slabs as your main media, I think it'd probably be good to use a flood system which only floods to about 50mm deep and for fairly short durations, 2-3mins tops.

Oh yeah, stuff that was on OG has been preserved and reposted all over the web. I really miss the excruciatingly complete OG GrowFAQ. heh, if there were more people like GMT posting pseudoscientific claims which they themselves do not understand, it'd be a real schlemozzle. A mod can only keep...

thanks. :) That's a BIG flood tray! Well, when I consider that I run 4x 900mm x 900mm trays (close enough to 3'x3' for discussion purposes, so ~36 sq ft lighted space), which also flood to about 4-5" and these trays are supplied by 4x 125L tanks, I'm using 500L to supply this...

I said that antics like GMT's are enough for me to consider taking the mod job on (again), but merely banning one idiot isn't worth taking on the job. Moderating a cannabis board is no small task and I would be remiss if I could not step in every day for several hours. Yeah, OG was a good...

From a +r comment: Thanks for the +r, but I politely declined admin's offer to be a mod. I put in 6 years as a mod on Overgrow.com (1999-2005) and that was enough- until I run into knobs like GMT who really need a swift and permanent exit. If I signed on to be a mod, I'd feel some obligation to...

ah, 6" cubes. I know that the 'Mr Green' cannabis videos (which are otherwise pretty good and do have some good basics in them for new growers) on YouTube feature drip-feeding large blocks like this, but I don't think I'd do that unless the drip feed was constrained to just a couple of minutes a...

Your citation of data completely irrelevant to drying cannabis DOES tell me you don't know WTF you're on about. You're wriggling because you can't prove your claim. It's one thing to cite some scientific data that supports your case- it's something else to post something that looks like science...

'neutral state'? As opposed to Park or Drive states, I suppose. :roll: WTF kind of science is that? Answer: It's NOT science! 'Curing' is a method suiting tobacco leaf but is not necessary with cannabis. All you need do is reduce the moisture content of buds to about 2-3% and they're good to...

Yep, 15" will be tight, but do-able. Either a 250 or 400HPS. Put it in a cooltube or build an enclosure with a sheet of glass between the lamp & plant area so the air which cools the lamp remains separate from the airmass around the flowering plants.

700 scale? 500 scale? Hm?

Thanks. :) I arrived at the system I describe mainly because I'm a stoned slacker. I used to grow a roomful at a time but this built dead time into the sked and meant I was harvesting a roomful at a time. Breaking up the harvests into 1/4 of the room capacity every 2 weeks suits my level of...
