    I have been wanting to try extracts for a while now, and I have been doing a lot of reading on the topic. While I would love to be able to do CO2 or butane extraction, I do not have the equipment needed to do that. Ethanol, and Isopropyl Alcohol are the most common method of extracting...

    Just harvested, whole house smells amazing

    I just harvested my blackberry grow. This grow took way to long because I had slacked a lot and some neglect was involved. In the end however, I ended up with a great harvest. I will get a dry weight hopefully in the next few days seeing as the humidity in this state is in the low teens.

    I started out growing because it meant all the weed I could smoke. Then I began to enjoy growing more than smoking, and the money was just icing on the cake. Why do you grow? Is it just fun? Is it for profit? or is it both?

    Potted Soil Grow Questions

    I cloned my recent grow and decided to make a mother out of her. I will be honest, I am not very good at soil and I have a few questions. 1. How do I check the pH using a meter or strips. At first thought it seems like a straight forward answer, but: Do I test the run off water? Do I stick...
