Man you crushed it bro! Tell me how do you dry and cure your buds so they come out like that, do you use the paper bag method?
Thanks duder. No, don't let them touch a paper bag. I am worried they would loose too many crystals and don't love the smell. When I chop I usually do most of my pruning, then let hang for a few days. When I chop, I try to keep the branches shorter then 14 inches for the next step. Once the outside of the bud is starting to feel a little crispy, I put them in a 5 gallon bucket with the lid on and let sit for a day to even out the moisture. Then I hang again for another day or so...basically repeat, shortening the amount of time hanging each time usually. drying rates vary, depending on season. So once I am close to curing moisture, I clip off the branches and put into mason jars. If I put them in a little early, and feel too moist after a day of being closed, then I put out on a clean table and let air dry for a few hours (repeat if needed). Then seal up and burp the jar for a few weeks. boom.

What? Thats crazy. 15 minuits under any 600/1000 bulb is sunburn. Back when i used 600's i was pulling NO LESS than 500 dry grams per bulb. Whoever gets 2 ounces from a 600 should find another hobby ect.
Was it dwc, coco? What size pots?

Dude you're a troll man, shut the fuck up and move along. You aren't bringing anything positive or informative to the table.

Different use cases. CFLs are great for stealth grows in limited space, or where active heat control is not possible. There's no need to be a fucking cunt about it.
Also; COBs rule all. If you want a holy war, that's the one you should be fighting. Protip: HID is going to lose.

My Train Wreck grown under disco LEDs and CFLs is stupid-dense. I'm not disappointed at all. Not every bud is rock hard, but the colas are totally great quality, just not a huge amount of yield, but I'm also a growing newb.
