BB & SSH Hydro Grow

i would agree to turn off the light before chopping. seems a common thing to do. i dont know to much about it. whatever you do dont rush the drying and curing. you could ruin the whole grow. good luck man. i think i may have nute burned my plants today. dont know what happened. here they are today. could just be from letting the lights touch a little to much. angled the light so the canopy would technically be flat. also its a pain in the ass but when my hempstars go out for the dark period i put the hpss on the lowryders. should help the yeild. i want 10 ounces total from both grows.

Here's a good thread also, be sure to read post #12. I've seen her on here quite a bit and seens to know her shit.

might have to try this uvb lighting. i was thinking about trying my ozone generator. they were popular years ago and i dont know if they are still considered to work. gonna look into ozone also.

Hey 1982, nice idea to drop the light down like that. Kinda hard to tell nute burn by the pics though. I do see that bad leaf in the middle of that one plant. Can you get any better pics close up. I've had an issue with it myself. It started when I did'nt have a meter. At first I thought it was a calcuim def since no pics I saw of nute burn looked like my plants did. But got one a few weeks ago. Best $20 I've spent yet. Nice setup you have though. You doing ebb and flow right?

I've heard of the ozone generator but what does it do??

Im not sure exactly how to chop this up, cure and dry it. I think ill trim the fan leafs off, hang them upside down for however long, put them in a brown paper bag for a few days, and then mason jars. But I really don't know what to do. What is your guys preferred method for a nice long good dry and cure? I wont rush the cure 1982.

Botany sounds cool. There is a botany course at the University that im transferring to . Ill most defiantly check into taking a course or two of it.

i'm doing dwc in both setups. i watered down the res and hopefully it will take care of it. i just looked up muy ozone gnerator. it eliminates smell 100%. it is not for yild i found out. it can eliminate the smell 100% from a very large grow. check them out. the best part is they dont effect taste or smell of the buds when finished. warning to you guys. never stick an ionizer in the grow room. your buds will smell like nothing and taste like nothing. this ozone generator seems perfect. i've had it since the very first grow i did like 8 years ago and never used it. excellent reviews on them though. also guys the uvb light kills odours also but not quite as effectively.

just take all the leaves off the plant and get it trimmed perfectly. but leave the buds on the plant. hang it in a dark place with very little air movement but enough that it gets refreshed. after the stems will break with a snap. place the buds in mason jars. daily open the lid for 5 minutes to let in fresh air. the longer you do this the smoother the smoke. Also a warning. guy on my page just go arrested. turns out if you type in your rollitup username on google or yahoo or whatever it comes up right to your page. the prob with him is he used a username that is in his email address. his employer tried typing in the beginning of his email which was amc02 and it came right to his page. it is weird i tried it.

just to make sure.. i dotn cut the white hairs off do i?

No you don't cut the white hairs off. !982, I'm not saying anything is wrong with your method but like lots of stuff on any forum everybody seems to have a way they like. Lot's of times it's seems like the only way they tried also. But I would put more air through them. The denser the bud the more I would want to dry them as fast as I could (but with no heat). I've hung them in my shed for over a week (outside grow) and in a closet with an open door with a fan blowing on them pretty good. We used to have a really nice clothes drier that had a rack you could put in it so it would not tumble. I ran it with no heat and it dried it out really quick. 1 hr maybe? but was still a bit wet inside and was not complete. I saw a rubbermaid setup with a fan that looks pretty good and quick, I think he claims 3 day's to dry. Now that's not cured by any means, and these other dring ways are not either. But like 1982 said when the stem brakes they are they are ready to start curing. Seem to me after 2-3 months. It really starts to maa difference. You can cut the buds apart some from the main stalks and they will dry quicker. The less stalk there is to dry the quicked they will. I guess to sum it up the quicker dryng methods did not seem to make much of a difference. It was all it the time it sat to cure. If you make hash the traditional middle eastern way not only does the weed need to cure some, them the hash material also has to cure 2-3 months or more. And it does help also, not because I waited that long to smoke it. But I had enough to last that long. haha

Hey 1982 I tried that with my user name, I saw you posting about it on your thread. It came up with a hash thread I started here. Nothing I could see that could get back to me. Then tried my e-mail name and it came up with nothing. Having your e-mail as your user name here is not to bright of an idea, IMO. The best way to get caught is and alway's will be because to many poeple around you knew about.

Also I do prefer to try do all trimming while they are fresh cut and not dry. Just seems easier to me.

same here. i trim everything but the main stems right away. it is easier. i just like the way it hangs with the main stem on it. and i dont use my username like that either but many prob do. it is a little strange. i think he could be in trouble this guy. his neigbor said his property smelled like a grow op to his mom. another guy got arrested officially. not good news. cant wait to trim mine. the only thing that sucks is i now cant sell any of it. it got seeded. on accident. my fault. yes!!. so no comments. around here if you try and sell some with a seed in it they will know you grew it. plus nobody will buy it. oh well. my sister and a close friend will buy it slowly over the next couple months. itll have to be cheap. kinda sucks. prob get 140 an ounce if its amazing stuff. pissed. I might buy a cooltubed 400 this week. cant deal with the heat!!

yah also i tend not to tell anyone either. only my sister and her boyfriend of 8 years know. they kinda got to. they live in the room next to me. lol. but alot of people tell around here. i dont think the criminal aspect of the penalty here is very harsh. but your family might think youre an idiot. lol. Asians do it huge around here. actually i have never seen a grow on here as big as the smallest ive seen in our local paper. they bust a 250000 watt setup every couple weeks here and thats just what they bust. you should see the houses after the grow. destroyed!! a 4000 square foot million dollar home is good for like 3 grows and then the moisture ruins the house. these people must be making some serious money. me 1 day minus the bust!!. just got to learn how to steal the power. must be easy though. assume you just splice above meter. lol

I've also read that another one of the best way's to get caught is to steal power. I see where people run a large generator for there power. To me that would be the way to go.

You could make something with the seeded weed, hash, do some butane honey oil? I have not tried the oil yet but would like to if i can make the time to do it.

if i stole power i wouldnt go that huge. i just feel that 10000 watts could set me for life in a couple grows. lol

ive smoke honey many times. its great if you make it with nice crystals. if you leave any green in there its gross. i dont suggest this but i took a mason jar. a tiny one. filled it with crystals and put a little hole in the top. i then used a lighter refiller of butane. it worked well but i was scared the jar would burst. but it didnt really seem close. i have never made hash before and figure i'll try to make some high quality stuff. but never made it. its not common around here. i'll make some oil to and post pics. couple weeks.

oh yah. the oil takes less than 5 seconds to make. try it but not neccessarily with a mson jar. lol

I have a good one to try that someone posted on a thread I started on different way's of making hash. Looks to be a good safe (at least as safe as it can be haha) way to try it. Just have not taken the time to do it. I'll post it, post # 23:https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/157110-best-ways-make-hash-3.html
