  1. Not to my knowing. Ash is rather dry and the fire sterilized all... elements more broken down, easier to absorb... good fertilizer. I dump all my wood ash on the compost heap
  2. If you braai with wood... or in winter heat... no need to drive around for wood ash
  3. I would wait a bit more ^^ how hard are those buds?
  4. Website states this for your light: 1000mm Saturn Parabola 90W 13200 lumens 188 μmols (92W with Far Red Engaged) 90W for the 1 meter lamp without IR and 92 Watt with IR.. so 2 watt goes into the IR... and then your sticker has 15% higher numbers as the website.. 110 watt with IR. So which one are correct? Also can add.. I got no response over the contact i filled in yesterday, asking for a manual and hanging distances for the comet lamps. I check the clip you posted in the afternoon.. I have some cloning and repotting to do this morning. And with 188 micromol output.. I don't expect a lot of heat.. just very surprised how much electricity it consumes to create that little PAR light. 110 watt for 188 micromol is in no relation to my TS3000 lamps, consuming 450 watt and releasing at 30cm 1300 micromol PAR light. Those lamps you can use for sure on all stages. As said.. the numbers I get on your lamp don't make sense so far.

  6. Freezing will dry up the weed, if you do not put it in a vacuum tight container. Sublimation will always go till the air around is saturated, max it can take on. As storing weed longterm in freezers is common practice... works if done correctly... i never heard it improves the taste, what is a interesting point. As said, willed to test it, as i never tried it nothing wrong with more taste. Question is, how much is such a freezer?
  7. I am rather curious how the light does perform.. I had a quick check on their website and asked if I can get a manual 4k is the price, 1000mm version.. sorry, I rounded the few bugs up hehehe 188 micromol at what distance? if that is just on exit ^^ the light is usable for germination... and that is it... as you want around 400-600 micromol in veg alone.. that light would not cut it by their own provided information. Very curious what the manual will say. I couldn't find on their websites product description what diodes they use, seems to be not a relevant information to sell a grow light. I put 2 copy pastes below.. those numbers somehow bite each other... or we talk salad and not cannabis. 188 micromol is very low as output. 1000mm Saturn Parabola 90W 13200 lumens 188 μmols (92W with Far Red Engaged) The Comet series is both suitable for vegetative and flowering growth (with the inclusion of Far-Red chips).
  8. you have a link to one of those? ^^
  9. high temperature does accelerate drying (you should avoid all over 26, same rule as for flower. I prefer to dry at 20).. but the main component is RH. if you can keep that at 60%, things will end good. If your RH goes below 50%, you are toasting your weed and curing will stop when to dry, till you have moisture levels back into range again, 58-68%, sweet spot is 60-65%.. I aim for 62% (Boveda bags ^^). If climate goes to dry, I put buckets of water with cotton cloth hanging in the buckets to accelerate vaporization or in the dry tent i fill the floor with water (tray) and let ventilation run on humidity control alone. needs not much air flow. "Forgot ^^ and over 68% you will have mold forming.. very clear no go zone.. let those dehumidifiers run!!" My own drying procedure is rather simple. First day I like it a bit more dry, 50% RH. Second day I try to set it at 60% and then take plants depending how heavy they are. Anything dry before 5 days passed.. I kinda failed. Anything later.. better job done. I hang whole plants or put buds on dry racks.. depending on the climate. When it is rather humid, I dress the buds for racks to dry on. If more dry, I hang whole plants to slow down drying process with more moisture to get rid off. Racks I usually use in combination with a dehumidifier. So we really talk wet humid climate. The better you do your drying and curing, the better the result.. but just the procedure will not turn bad weed to good weed.. genetics always rule ^^
  10. I will give it a try.. next batch of harvest I let a plant go freezer and see And a word to water curing... if you have a light moldy batch, this can save the smoke, not the taste. As much as I agree that water curing provides a very smooth smoke in a week.. it also kills all tastes and flavors you had in there.. really.. dump it before you water cure.. or you are very very desperate to just smoke something
  11. Curing is based on friction, humidity, light and temperature. If you go to dry, your weed will not cure anymore.. how you know when you are done? curing happens when you have enough water still present.. but not enough to let mold form.. the mold not stopping the curing.. but hinders you from smoking it. I had a quick read.. you find all from: makes weed taste better to.. makes it taste like hay. Only way I see to not mess things up. Balance to 62%, put in a vacuum tight container and then freeze it to store... but why pump energy in something that isn't really needed? I cure with bags and have humidity sensors inside the jar. If your bags get crystalline from remoistening dryer batches, just put em in a empty jar with a wet cotton ball. Boveda bags you can use till they hit mold.. then I would dump the bag. A very full bag is also not reducing humidity anymore.. can use those bags also to get more moisture in a dry bag. Once a jar is on 62% for 2 weeks, I take out the bag(s) and sensor and clean lid and top to have a very air tight closure. Then store in a new, unused fridge.. I just don't have on power ^^ dark, air tight and the plastic they use is usually microbe resistant, plus keep temp quite constant inside. The sensors tell you if you are in the green.. over 68% you take the weed out and put it back on a drying frame for 12 hours.. then check again. Let the jars rest for 24 hours before you take the reading.. takes a bit to even out moisture.
  12. You can use dry ice to get to the same result. Very fast dry buds ^^ But still, only do it on "dry" days.. as soon as you take the cold buds out in very humid days, will condensate back on the buds very fast. What you mean with: Third week, take it out an hour before returning it to the freezer? What would be the advantage? I use dry ice to make hash.. but I prefer my weed to dry as slow as possible, if I want to smoke the buds.
  13. 144 diodes on 110 Watts? How comes my QBs have 288 diodes and draw 120 watt??? How hot do those diodes get? How much you paid for the light? What numbers you got to hang that light in Germ, Veg and Flower? I have rather big issues to put your numbers together to make sense.. the paint job would have made me send it back. If you can't use a brush, at least use a spray can I see your other lights have cooling integrated.. where does this light get cooling from? I just see a flat case, no ribs or active ventilation inside the lamp, closed case.. weird! Addon Friends bar lamp setup is 5 bars of 120 watts each (600 watt total on a dimmer)... I would prefer that over your setup for a 1.2x1.2 area.. better light spread.
  14. Outdoor camping store.. way cheaper as the bubble hash machine... and I think is the same.. you just get no 220 mircon bag with the machine..
  15. Only real "wash" i give buds is doing bubble hash
  16. If you want to grow rather serious.. you will have to invest into a Quantum Flux Meter.. sooner or later. Is nice to work with numbers you know they are correct.
  17. Is a 5kw hybrid system with lithium ion bank. 5k$ with shipping. Once i get it here, i post customs bill. Enough on the card, no limit breached, should work. They contacted me yesterday to ask for a error screen shot with time stamp. Somebody understood after three days argueing... something not working as it should. Lets see...
  18. I am trying to pay for my solar system.. and something rather funny occurred. When I try to make the payment on Alibaba, I get a error message back from Skrill, got the Mastercard from the guys. Please contact Skrill support. Used the card before at Alibaba, all fine. So I contact support and ask, what is wrong? Answer, nothing, all is fine with your account. Try again.. I do, same error message. Contact support again, answer.. na, all good, we can't help you anymore, has to work. So why does your system refuses the transaction.. ticket closed and not by me.. is one of those stories.. morons you find everywhere. But how you tackle that issue? Their own system sends an error, support confirms that your account is fully functional.. but payment still gets rejected by their own system and support sees zero problems with that. Only movie coming to my mind reflecting where we are going is "Idiocracy" Have to add.. small amounts work fine... I suggested to check if their limit checker is working not sure they still talk with me hehehe haven't heard since. Post Office also pulled a nice one. Have 2 offices close, 5 mins driving distance.. got a pickup slip for the Milnerton office... that is a 30min traffic drive send them a mail.. i am sure you can get it closer ^^ also took them 7 days to drop the pickup slip in my letter box. Heck.. DHL moves things to Europe or China in that time Not my day...
  19. One of the loosers And who would have guessed... the "ruderalis" still flowering. Is even a little bit sticky still.. will go compost heap right away using a ts3 for the trees inside, giving the lower branches some more light Dont like the outside climate, took them inside
  20. This is the product i will test next 150 a liter, nice price
  21. Also got the news.. that Grow and Bloom are back on the shelves in about 2 months.
  22. The 2 new sexy addons to the mother tent also happy in their new home Life is good
  23. Ok guys... can dump all my tables.... I was rather reluctant to use bio heaven from BioBizz... just price wise. So i made a test with the pheno hunt on some clones i took. Let 2 1.2x1.2 trays compete with each other. Same mother, same soil, same water, same diodes, same fertilizer setup, except one tray got additional bio heaven. I was surprised about the result myself. The tray with bio heaven not just yielded 15 to 20% more dry buds, the potency test at canabliss showed 20% more thc content too. So yeah... is kinda worth it. I got a product, SA producer, claiming it does the same... is next test i will do. More then 10 times cheaper as Bio Heaven... If you use FF Premium, just go with the table you get at hydroponics.co.za for BioBizz. I didnt use the activera.
