Now when I grow in soil I usually put a clear plastic tupaware bowl over my seedling to boost humidity. Can I do that over the cube or would that hold to much water and rock wool?

Out of all my running around today I forgot charcoal... I think I go through more charcoal than I should .

I make my own because it gets expensive buying when you use it that much lol. Plus, it's much better than store bought in my opinion. Flavor is so good. Great in the garden too.

Humidity dome is fine. When you pick the cube up, there shouldn't be water dripping out of it. If there is, it's too wet.

Got my sample of mammoth p . Didn’t have rr but had rockwool starters . Got some heavy ass air stones 7 bucks . Meh . Guy said he’d give me more samples of mammoth p if I tell him how it does . “Anything that smells like wolf piss has to work “.

I seen a huge difference once I started using the mammoth p.. you will like it man!

You ain’t kidding . I grill a lot . The real charcoal is where it’s at .

Shit if I buy stuff I’m going to ask for a sample every time .

Fuck charcoal.

Just burn hardwoods down.

I smith too and I use charcoal for that. If I'm lazy, I'll just use wood but charcoal heats up quicker and packs better, so I usually keep a steady supply.

Lmao I do the same thing and Clyde gets mad at me

 

[Moabfighter]

I’m a cheap ass. Well. I spend on what I want to spend on. And lately I’ve been loving the hell out of not having to buy charcoal.

Hell yeah gonna do salmon tonight

 

[Soil2Coco]

shit really.

I have the $400 Dulytek. It doesn’t have a lot of pressure so you need to use the heat extract. This makes it darker but I was getting about 20% from kief. I just load up my pen and puff of it all day. Helps with my appetite and combined with pain meds, it does the job.

 

[schmebulock]

There’s a nice dulytek personal press for 200 bucks I’ve been thinking hard on.

I like blasting. But does pressing get same/better returns???

supposedly bho is a full saturation so it has a better return - i think some people were seeing 2-3 times the return? but at a severe cost to flavor, terps, etc due to the solvent.

i was thinking bho for the better ROI, but at this point I'm thinking that dulytek $800 electric press

@Soil2Coco

Couldn't resist and popped a Dark Purple Auto from the blister pack. I really like GYO so far and want to love them (they loaded me up with points and gave me a 25% discount on my next order, plus free shipping and tracking on every order), so I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

I liked them too. One of the few places that sold single seeds and freebies were great. I think they even started shipping from inside the US too. But none of that matters, if the seeds don’t germinate. I hope you have better luck.

Give to my two grown kids and their spouses, to my sister in law and her husband, to several friends and two old neighbor guys; one to help with his Vietnam war PTSD as well as paranoia and schizophrenia. He's a treat!

Also, I bought a Dulytek DW6000 to press out rosin for easier storage and longer ability to maintain THC content and flavor. I've been making tinctures too. Anything so it doesn't go to waste.

that's the same press i'm looking into - honest review?

Yea, mine were shipped from Cali.

If they don't, ill definitely update my review. Should know in about 2-3 days.

Thanks again.

Soak the rock wool, give it a ringing out, pop in your seed, and put it in the net pot when you see a root pop out. Just remember to pinch the top shut so it kicks the husk. Wet the cube as necessary to keep it like a damp sponge.

oh please don't ring out your rock wool - there are micro air pockets all throughout that little cube that are completely gone when you crush the material.

Simply put the popped seed in the hole (sometimes i poke a chopstick into the hole so the RW doesn't stop the seed from climbing out) and then soak the wool, you're done with the rock wool.

I like to keep a seed pad heater under the girls until they're fully out of their shell.

I've always squeezed them out. They fluff right back up. I can't say I've ever had an issue, but you may be right.

So far, I've only been able to test it with buds from my last grow which was harvested in November 2018. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do with fresh, dried and cured buds.

Functionally speaking, this thing is solid! Easy to set your temps and press time. Lots of room for a good sized squish between the plates. The yield is great too! I can press the same puck 2 or 3 times and still get more out. The flavor? It's like you've never really tasted what bud is supposed to taste like. Frickin amazing flavor!

I was going to put straight on top onto hydrotron in net cup . Do set cubes in water or run some water over them so they’re nice and wet . I’m sure I don’t want these cubes soaked but I don’t want them dry .

Yeah sorry man, I remembered reading it somewhere - here you are:

Don’t: Squeeze Your Rockwool
A common myth is that excess water in rockwool should be removed by squeezing the block or plugs. Do not do this! The structure of the fibers in rockwool contain beneficial water retention and air porosity properties that allow root systems to develop.

Crushing the wool damages that structure and the air pockets that were initially present will never be restored. If rockwool is squeezed too much, the material will become a wet, soggy mess with no aeration whatsoever.
