    Can Grove bags be used for hash?

    I'm processing some trim for bubble hash and I was wondering if Grove bags can also be used for curing hash.

    What are your favorite trimming scissors/clippers?

    I used the spring-loaded ones for years....hated 'em! Then, I stumbled onto these Dr. Slick's 4" Micro-tip scissors (used for tying flies for fishing). Wow! I love 'em! :) https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516wkTfpthL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

    Trim Jail is Hell

    I know that some people don't mind it. I didn't used to mind it so much when I had plants that weren't too leafy. I even made a nice, comfortable space with music playing and the whole nine yards.....But, it took me 4 days! My eyes are shot. My back is killing me. When I close my eyes at night...

    Can dry ice be used instead of water ice to make bubble hash?

    I'm not talking about shaking dry ice and weed through a filter bag. I'm talking about replacing the regular water ice with dry ice to keep the water colder for a longer time. Has anyone tried it?

    UVC bulb in drying tent to deter mold?

    I'm just wondering about an idea to put a UVC bulb in the drying tent and having it on a timer to cycle on and off as an extra measure to deter mold. I know that light degrades the weed, but if it only comes on for a short period of time, I'm not sure if it would make a difference as far as...

    How cold can drying room be if 60% RH?

    If I can make the drying room colder than 60F, then just HOW much colder can I go before potential problems might arise? The RH% is pretty much 60% all the time. Thanks

    Jack's 3-2-1/Master Blend...replace calcium nitrate with calcium sulfate during flower?

    I know a few growers who have been using the Jack's 3-2-1 system or Master Blend's system and love them....but the problem is that these systems call for Calcium Nitrate. The idea during flower, is to minimize the nitrogen but maintain the calcium. So, if the Calcium Nitrate is replaced with...

    What is the fastest finishing plant you've ever grown?

    Just curious! I'm talking about RIPE plants -not plants that you had to harvest early because of schedule. I've had plants that looked ripe at 7 weeks, but I could never bring myself to harvest anything that early. My very, very minimum is 8 weeks but usually 10-12 weeks in the norm for me...

    Strain SMELLS good...but taste doesn't transfer. Why?

    I bought some DJ Short's Blueberry one time when was passing through Denver. It smelled great and when I got it in the rental car, it ws in the container, but it still made the car smell like really good blueberry weed. I was anxious to have it be like that old school blueberry taste, but it...

    Is a 'nanner-made seed the same as an "S1"?

    Is it the same thing if a female plant is chemically-induced to make a few male flowers that are then used to pollinate a female flower on that same plant....AND...a female plant that throws a few 'nanners and produces a seed? In either case, there is no way to get a male plant....right? This is...

    Can certain terpenes "cancel" other terpenes?

    I was just reading an article about "opposite smells" and found it interesting to think about in terms of explaining why there are no new strains that reeeeeaaalllly stink anymore. I was wondering if the inclusion of all the different strains that are used for hybrids, might have so many...

    Is it really "soil"? (FFOF, ETC.)?

    On this latest run, I started out with the same mix as I have been using forever -with FFOF and FFHF with some amendments...BUT, I ran into a serious pH issue and ended up having to flush and leach the mix in order to get the pH back on point. After that, I realized that I had basically...

    The weed/music connection.

    What is it about smoking some good weed that makes listening to music so nice? It seems almost a universal thing that smoking weed and listening to music seem to go hand-in-hand.

    Why "flip" to 12/12 instead of a gradual reduction?

    I was considering trying out the light reduction method for flowering this run. It got me wondering if the same thing would hold true for switching the plants into flower mode by gradually cutting down the veg-time hours instead of drastically just flipping them all of a sudden. Thoughts?

    Don't throw males out....right away!

    If you aren't going to use them for breeding, then use them as teaching tools. Teach yourself how to top, F.I.M., LST, HST....try new ferts...try different lighting techniques, etc. Hey, if you mess up, then no big deal. You always have some time before they are going to start spitting pollen...

    Do you consider "seedling stage" to be separate from veg?

    For years, my understanding was that, once the seed germinated and broke through the soil, it was in "vegetative stage". But, recently, I have listened to some discussions about exactly when vegetative stage starts. One person says that there is a separate "seedling stage" -which is defined by...

    WOW! BAD pH issues!!

    My plants were growing like Vikings....and then, all of a sudden, they started to stall out and turn yellow. I knew it wasn't nutrient deficiency, so I figured there must be some kind of lockout happening. I normally grow with the standard FFOF and FFHF soils that I usually amend with some...
