You are a bit late i started to clean up my special stash 2 months ago. Cant take it with... so gets smoked. March 20 candykush, Sept 20 Blueberry, Oct 20 Critical

Radical Juice - 15 days since flip ZxP - 32 days since flip Zombie Bride - 49 days since flip

Holy shit, this sounds like an invitation for mold. I don't think I'm brave enough to do this to an entire harvest. Just reading that made me cringe. Why would anyone treat their buds like that after loving the plant to harvest?? But thank you, though.This just sounds extremely risky.

I thought it was just me! I've always found that the fresher my weed, the more potent it is. That fist J after a month or 2 cure just hits the right spot. I'm not sure if it's perhaps the differenct cannabanoid content in the flower that hits differently, or if it's the freshness of the flower, but I personally prefer smoking mine fresh for this reason.

Hi everybody these are our 2 new males for 2020. Lemon jedi OG by Dark Horse Genetics. Bought 10 Regular seeds. Only 5 germinated. Collecting the pollen daily. The 3 girls in the 60L are the 3 females.

Is something I can recommend. When you have a nice batch of weed... lets say 50g. Spit it in 10g portions into vacuum sealed glasses and put a small Boveda bag inside. Have a smoke and write down what you taste and experience. Then pack the jars in a dark cold space and forget em for 2 month.. do the next test and check how the weed changed. Next I suggest to wait another 3 months to reach 5 month cure time. This smoke will already surprise you as there will be huge taste changes. Then wait another 4 months to reach 9 months curing time. It is getting hyper smooth now and the taste should have changed again. And the last 3 months for this batch to reach 12 months curing time. Smoke and check with your old reports you wrote.. it will once more taste different and now we reach zero throat irritation. You normally check if the joint is really lit and are surprised to see you exhaling smoke. Suuuppperrrrr smooooooooth ^^ taste wise it should still reflect the strain. Curing does huge changes to weed. If you dry weed way to fast and store it to dry it gets bitter and that bitterness you can't remove anymore. Over drying is not the best to do. Best is if you get it in one smooth dry run to 62% and there you stay rock solid.

Yeah that helps.

I’m not load shedding any longer.

if you got a fresh harvest, trim the weed before you get stem snap, (semi dry semi moist) then take a big plastic tote bin, put a black bag in it, moer all the stuff in there. some dudes do this pre trim aswell, so the whole plant basically stem sugarleaves and all go in the bin. then forget about it for a month, make sure to kick it around a couple times. turn the pile, tops to bottom and vice versa. now, most important, once you start trimming, buds don't go in a jar, they go in a bag once the bag is full you push it down to give that brick weed look let it sit compressed like that for another month. you'll have some black market looking weed. that's basically what happens to the indoor you buy before it gets to you.

I'd like to see that too I know old weed just goes darker in colour, the green goes darker and the trichomes all go amber so you get brown weed. Curing weed is quite specific. To cure something doesn't mean long term storage. You can see it with all things that need a cure. Types of alcohol, types of cheese... basically, saying "cure" means you didn't just store it long term. As with everything else, if the cure isn't done right instead of increasing quality it just degrades quality. and then there's the life of the cure, as with everything, it's like riding the rollercoaster to the tippy top and then a sudden dramatic plunge - anything you cure you do "low and slow" like they say "any good cure will take time" BUT as with the rollercoaster, it's a slow climb and the time spent being at the peak of it's quality is just a small window it leaves to consume, if you leave it for any longer even if cure conditions are perfect, the quality will fall dramatically. It'll just go bad and all the time spent on the cure will be lost. I feel, through my experience with it, the difference in 1 year cured weed and 1 month cured weed, the 1month stuff always wins. Tested it at least a hand full of times. Loose terps every single time, but the smoke is smoother. makes sense though, cause terps are locked in the essential oils and lipids in the plant. Less oils and fats = smoothe smoke but that comes with less flavour.

Wow, so much to unpack here and so hard to do on mobile! Thank you, I agree wholeheartedly. I too used to like the "harder hitting" stuff back in the day that would make me cough uncontrollably, thinking it meant potency. Back then, all indoor looked and smelled the same to me, I couldn't distinguish the difference between any strains I bought, but didn't care because it would just be sold as indoor. Now I can taste and smell differences in all the strains I grow. I've spoken to some dudes who sell, and they told me that people want what they are used to, and if the weed is smooth and the high is long lasting, they won't be convinced because the look of the buds and feel of the smoke is not what they are used to. I would, though, like to test out their drying methods just to see how it's done and if I can replicate their results for nostalgia's sake.

Love the setup bro, guaranteed results on the way

Radical Juice - Veg Training and spread are in development. I'm liking the growth so far. I have increased wattage to try shorten the internodal spacing. Reservoir is on, I should switch on the air supply as well. What's crazy is I haven't had to LST yet, the plants have just naturally grown out in a nice spread. Thanks WeedGod! Zombie Bride - 25 Days Since Flip I'm not really getting what I want out of the Zombie Bride yet. In terms of veg growth it's stretchy and fadey. The future of this strain is yet to be determined. ZxP - 7 Days Since Flip The one and only. I'll never leave you, ZxP Did a defoliation recently. Things are looking neat and tidy. Should probably slap the net in at some point.

Currently at 1100W when lights are on. I idle at about 110W with lights off. If all tents were at full flower I'd hit about 2000W.

Do you know how many watts all your setups together pull?

The current state of events. Big Tent Big tent has been reset from the last harvest. I've loaded her up with Radical Juice. That shit was so dangerous I definitely need to give it another round and in bulk Small Tent Doing something a little different here. I am growing ZxP but instead of the usual 4-way manifold I decided to play again with the 8-way manifold just to play around with space and canopy spread. I need to get in there and slap a net in soon. Just waiting for some more length on the branches. Organic Tent Here I am doing some Zombie Bride. I am honestly 50/50 on this one, I'm not sure whether I will keep the strain. The outcome of this grow will pretty much determine whether I keep it or not. I kept this particular strain for the aroma and terpenes. It smelt crazy desserty, so I am hoping for that experience again. I also plan on lollipoppin' the shit out of this one, no popcorn, cheers. I do see that the one plant on the bottom right is lagging behind a bit but it's colour is looking deep so I am not too worried.

Love how this is a low yield, let me not show my plants

ZxP harvest done and dusted. Yield was a bit low but way, way better than the beginning of the year. From 160g to 500g, more than double, but not quite the target goal of 800g. I do believe the cold played a major part. I attempted this year to skip any additional heating to save on costs and to also experiment with the possibilities. The result is roughly a 33% decrease in yield. Needless to say I think I will be adding additional heating again to the room next winter. Either will run the AC or use heating panels. Will need to do the math first. Next update will be what's going on in the other tents.

Local is lekker ne !!

Awesome! I'm excited to see what you gona do there's a lot of hype around the local breeders, I see a lot of their stuff on instagram and it looks like some local guys giving the US breeders a run for their money! Some names I see - Nocturnal Genetics, Headhoncho, Black Flag, Senpai and then we all know Totemic, and there's a whole bunch more. Check out this site with all the locals https://owlsroostsa.com/bird-seed/

Mmmmm. Would be interested to try the freakshow cross. Always been wanting it. I assume it’s a cross with a photo freakshow so will be quite the hunt to get the recessive gene to express in my understanding of breeding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And the final product, dried cured and ready for the weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Started a new round doing some Strawberry Vostok F2’s. Thanks again to @Bay Seeds for regular autos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last year October as I was having my morning coffee at me favorite morning stop, I had a chat with the owner. He has a guy that has 40 “Intelligent hydro indoor garden” setups made in China and wanted to sell them through the shop. He knows I grow so gave me one to test. Had a couple of updates in instagram but wanted to run it for a couple of months before reporting here. So it’s a little all in one solution. Comes with a water pump and built in led light. The whole thing runs off 30W so it’s obviously not for a serious grow, but it’s awesome to have some plants next to my desk. As you can see it’s made for flowers/herbs but why not some of our favorite plants Here is the unboxing. Will add more as the day goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost a month later and the autos are frosting up, one bud, one plant. Bay seeds Mc purple x lemon Jedi mothering along. Cutting 4 clones every 2/3 weeks. And the poor camel thorn just doesn’t seem to like the light, but growing and a rapid pace, even if it is horizontally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ay so it's you who iv been seeing this thing ey?? Looks like it works, but most weed seedlings will outgrow that space in a few weeks Although, wouldn't mind getting a cacti or 3 under that, or use it as a seed starter and move it out when it's bigger. What this kinda thing go for man?

Also just started a few new seeds. 11/12 Geminated . Really looking forward to the Frisian Duck.
