i never said it was better nor that I would do it, merely asked the question if anyone else had ever tried it….

ed rosenthal even disagrees. https://www.healtheuropa.eu/cryo-cure-drying-and-curing-cannabis/98439/ and yeah, i do understand how UV-b and oxidation work, thanks, but to say 2-3 days of sun will destroy your product after its been in the sun for 10-12 weeks and the internal cells of the buds...

Seriou Did this forum actually become this ignorant and pathetic over the last two years?? Did you even read my original post? I never advocated nor defended drying in the sun, but its been done for centuries in many nations, maybe not the best practice but obviously not that destructive or no...

I t I totally agree with that, after a period of 2-3 days when enough water vacates the plant to begin withering the cell walls, the metabolic process caused from the plant’s senescence will fade.

yeah, I took botany, cytology, mycology, microbial and molecular genetics and multiple organic chem, biochemistry and microbiology classes as I obtained multiple advanced college degrees. Also, read these (rather dated) articles: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/tpj.14516...

yeah, i guess that’s sort of what I did. That’s because I know the buds are still technically alive for 2-3 days after chopping and because I’ve tried a lot of shitty looking weed from other countries, especially in the 80s-90s from Mexico that was sun dried and often it kicked my ass. For the...

Yeah, ok thanks. Wow this board has become a nice little place to hang out. Take a look at my previous posts, I know how to grow and yes I do have degrees (not that it matters on a msg board). There are a lot of reasons one might want to harvest a plant/crop kind of early, especially outdoor...

you are correct, obviously, but the intracellular functions are still occurring for 48-36 hours after chop. I mentioned that in my original post. Trichs continue to degrade and amber all the way during a long cure too.

yeah, you get it, there are plenty of people in the world who do this and the product is great…I’ve traveled and try to smoke local flavs everywhere I go…and I already knew my question defied what most of us know learn and abide by, exactly why I asked it here. And I was happy for the responses...

You should study up a bit on plant cellular function then, and I even mentioned in the original post that I had done side by side studies, short of taking them to the testing lab. Nice inference and thanks for taking shots at me just because I asked what some other long-term growers might be doing.

i sort of disagree… and LordH, this isnt specific for you but in general I’ve heard the same for years, but my experience has been 2-3 days in the sun then 7-10 days of normal drying actually IMPROVED the quality….I wanted to hear more from those with experience rather than the usual “its...

I have a question, but wanted to share first that I have been growing indoor and out for over 35 years in multiple states/environments/strains, and have three advanced science degrees: if you chop a plant early (for whatever reasons), and the plant cells in the buds all continue to function for...

Yeah I guess crossing the two strains resulted in a longer maturity time for this phenotype of their offspring. I too typically see a faster finish on seeded buds, this girl is just taking forever even for outdoor. Thanks for the input

Hi there, I’ve been growing for many decades, (legal state) but I have a specialized question for all of you outdoor experts out there: IF a cannabis plant is being pollinated naturally from windblown pollen (not a herm), will it flower for longer than usual in order to try to pollinate more...

totally disagree, caterpillar poop is the best medium and catalyst to get botyritis, but you can definitely get it without caterpillars, based on density of buds, susceptibility of strain, moisture levels, health, etc. Mrs. Weedstein should grow a sativa-based strain like ghost train haze or...

Autos like a bit deeper pot and the longer their first taproot gets in a deeper pot, the bigger the plant will get. And yes longer/more lighting will increase veg and especially budding growth. In my experience autos are picky, and if anything really challenges them in the first couple of weeks...

Additional CO2 into a non-sealed room such as an apartment really isnt going to do a thing...you need a tent or sealed room to increase levels effectively and keep it around the plants for a longer time period. Also, have you studied up on WHEN in the grow cycle you should add CO2? I definitey...

If in veg or very early flower, Get Neem Oil and some insecticidal soap and mix those together per instructions, but in a bucket or trash can and submerge your plants fully (upside down if possible) or use a sprayer or atomizer and spray the hell outta every millimeter, especially the stems and...

they make these low-power, off green lights that you can wear or carry into a Grow during dark periods...i’d recommend pure darkness during those 12 hours, set your timer so you can work during light times....its better to turn your grow light off for an hour or so during “day” than to screw up...

YES. Its HPS or MH, not a good spot to move a photosensitive plant
