Lol - Mainliner is right. If you have cured it properly and it is really dry, a Mason jar is all you need to keep it for - say 6 months. The stuff that I posted is for seriously long-term storage (years). I dont know of anyone who has kept bud under these conditions to know how many years...

Organic molecules like THC do not change or break down for no reason. The usual reason is oxydation. Exclude the oxygen and this process will stop. Ultra violet light is another cause of bleaching and chemical breakdown. (See my previous post). The OP does not say how long he wants to keep...

There are five things that will cause stored bud to lose potency: 1 Loss of trichomes (as pointed out above). 2 Chemical degredation caused by ultra-violet light. 3 Moisture allowing micro-organisms to grow - particularly mould. 4 Oxygen which will over time alter the chemical makup of most...

I for one am quite impressed by B166's first set of picks. We all know that if you have a lot of room you can grow big plants with lots of bud (assuming that you are not a bad grower) but these show that a guy (or guyess) with very little space indeed can still produce a useful crop of short...

The trick is not fitting them in the box. You could put 16 small plants in there if you wanted. The question is can you get them to produce anything at this growth density that makes the effort worthwhile. I look forward to pickies of the colas in flower.

That is a small immature plant. I look forward to seeing it with a useful amount of bud on it - say an ounce.

Yes I tjhink you are a little confused. Bonsai involves root trimming (the tap root is removed) and the plant allowed to become pot-bound. However - bonsai plants are usually slow-growing perenials. Cannabis is a fast-growing annual and quite unsuitable for Bonsai techniques. I would love to...

Lol Lofly you are a baaaaad man and a pervert!!! :-)

If you want to keep them short you absolutely must keep the light level up during vegging. 50,000 lux will keep the internodes short. You must be in flower before they are half-way to your maximum headroon as the colas will stretch during flowering quite a lot. There is nothing more...

Dude! I am not trolling you and dont want to contradict, be negative or upset you, but one thing is certain - they are NOT all gonna make it!! What you are trying to create is six Bonsai cannabis plants. Cannabis does not (to my knowledge) Bonsai. If there is anyone out there that has seen a...

HPS will give you problems with heat unless your extraction is good. If you are going with Xoshua's sensible advice on two computer fans to keep costs down - do not even dream of HPS! CFL is much more forgiving and should get you off to a good start at low cost. Dont forget to line the walls...

I have come accross people that are very passionate about thier lighting - often dissing LED on the basis of out of date information. LED's are chips and developing as fast as other chips (? Moors Law). What was true yesterday is not necessarily true today. Computer freaks have got used to...

Just over an ounce per plant. Ok but far from great. You got work to do to up the delivered weight. Good for a first grow (many people dont get that far) but not good for a regular yield. I suggest you read The Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green. It is an excellent book and is crammed with...

I grow in a cupboard 2ft x 2ft x 6ft. I started off growing 4 plants. That did not work out too well. Then I reduced it to 2 and found that one plant always overgrew the other. Now I grow one plant at a time and find that I get more bud than from more overcrowded plants. A 1x1x3 grow is...

It is hard to get a sense of what you are doing from these photos. One thing I am sure of is that these are not your grow lights. If they are it wont work. Cannabis plants need about 40k lux at the canopy. What you have here will not even approach this.
