First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

Here is another question for my RIU brethren, do I need to cure in the dark? If so, complete darkness? And what is the effect of light when the plant matter is dead, does it degrade the THC?

I am done drying, now it's on to CURING!

The two jars on the left are the main colas the two jars on the right are the lowers.
The jars on the right are the ones I like best and I think you know why. Just grab a nug and jam it in, no breaking it up at all. Damn we should be packing bowl after bowl after bowl after bowl! Fuck man wait till I harvest, we are going to smoke a fucking ounce in one sitting!!!

Hahaah yeah I know how you do... no breaking it up or nothing... such a waste. I am going to buy you a grinder so you can smoke herb properly.

That sounds good, I rolled an ounce joint once, and a half ounce joint to practice for that. We can do something like that, but maybe blunt style rolled with leaves and cured like Thai Stick?

Hell yeah, I never rolled anything larger than a Titan. We need to smoke that 1 ounce joint.

OK, we will do it then. I have to get some of the rolling paper rolls, you can't use the pre-cut pieces, because I had to make a rolling paper 4 papers wide and it was the size of a regular piece of paper. 8.5" x 11"

It was a pretty epic joint, we are going to need at least 4 people to smoke it. :bigjoint:

Congrats, I'll let you know my number with the AMS I'm growing now. It was awesome to follow you, seeing as though I'm about two weeks behind. You got me excited. Legal size. A4!? Maybe.

Thanks dude, it has been fun doing this first grow. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do next time. I will start another thread for that one.

Do you have a thread on your grow? I have only seen your Arduino/VB.net thread. Oh, and I am learning PowerShell and VMware PowerCLI at work and FUCK I don't like programming at all. I am happy when a script works but it's pretty frustrating to learn this shit by myself. I am planning on going to a PowerShell class on my company's dime.

I've done a strain review at: https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-reviews/532918-greenhouse-seed-company-m-s.html

The growing curve for programming as literally that, a curve... It can take a little while before you start using things from the past you've learnt, but once you get a set of 'tools' together, you find it easier. Takes a while though, definitely would like to get paid to learn it though ;)

Cool, I will check out your thread later on, I am home on my lunch break now.

It is nice to get paid to learn but it will make me better and more efficient at my job so it's worthwhile for them to pay for my training. The plus side is that it also makes me more valuable if/when I decide to move onto another job. I currently do server and desktop virtualization using VMware and Citrix, respectively.

If the smart pots will fit into the new pots just put the whole thing in and add hydroton around the smart pot. the roots will grow righ through the fabric no problem. I would raise your water level to make sure the pots are getting wet. It will only take a day or two for the roots to drop.
i third that.

Berkman , its funny u were asking about if u had to cure in the jars... I was just looking that up last night, I wanted to know if I had to buy a mason jar or could I just use any old glass jar , like from prego tomatoe sauce or from some jelly or something.. but I read that the inner seal on the inside of jars will never TRULY come out no matter how much u wash, so basically my bud would come out smelling and tasting like tomatoes or jelly ... I didn't want to spend any more money on this grow but Im not gonna f it up now after all this work, so I might just buy it .. seen some on Amazon for like $10-20 , but I could go the ghetto route and try and go to the flea market.. I bet its mad cheap there.

I got the 3 similar jars in the picture below from Walmart for $4 or $5 each.

walmart has a nice jar selection. 10 bucks for a case of 12 mason jars that will hold an ounce+ each in em.

also dont forget to burp that shit. ie open the jars every now and then.

Yeah, the jars are actually staying open more than closed now because they were drying too quickly in the rack but aren't really dry enough to leave the jars closed for too long. I am slowly transitioning to curing because this is new to me and I don't want to screw it up.

P.S. - Those 1 ounce jars are way too small for my grow! I would need 22 of them. :joint:

As soon as my fam isnt sick, (myself included) I plan hanging out with you.

Maybe figure out something to do with all that trim you got ;)

lol. so buy two packs. they have different sized jars. i think they have an even bigger set of 6 but they r too big for my taste. id rather have a ton of little jars than a few big ones. big ones means more bud in them and longer drying and curing time if they are still kinda wet ive found smaller groups of bud dry and cure quicker which means faster smoke time for me. lol..

Good point, but there has to be a good middle ground between many small jars and few large jars, medium jars???
