Alright so I Just thought id throw a quick pixel of my future Baby's Mama.
Perpetual SOG Biddeees.:twisted:
Sparks now i know why u are so hard on bugs man.
Bugs dont get all butthurt but u have to admit that was a rediculous question.

.i harvested a moldy crop...dried a moldy crop....started to cure the moldy crop and it smells none to pleasant. ~~~ should i smoke this? can i ? is it dangerous?.....this is a subject i know nothing about so be nice!
should i still market it? and can i fix it?:blsmoke:
Yes mold can be very dangerous. Especially so in the MMJ community for some of those folks have immune system problems and the mold could kill them.
Be careful MOLD can HURT you and others.
I wouldn't smoke it.
I definitely wouldn't sell it.

i call "it ode to a rotting white widow". (would make an excellent vogan poem.....any nerds out there like me?)
I went the audio book route, no regrets.

I am getting my first real nugs of strains other than Jack going now. The Poison Kush nugs are a great deal denser and fooled me with how much moisture they still seem to have. Much longer drying/sweating time required. Volcano cares not though...

I think I am going to pick up some of those Sweet God seeds (and a few other strains I am sure) while I am in Europe. Nothing like the guarantee that your seeds are coming direct from the breeders. I hate not being 100% sure of the lineage on the clones I got.

LOL bugs I love u dude.
:wall:

well i know that much, just wondering how badly.
Especially so in the MMJ community for some of those folks have immune system problems and the mold could kill them.
i would never give less than perfect product to a sick person.
Be careful MOLD can HURT you and others.
i do feel a little more congested than usual. but i smoke a quarter to a half per day so it's hard to tell.
I wouldn't smoke it.
I definitely wouldn't sell it.
i didt want to but i dont wanna run out. and was thinking of a mold sale extravaganza for my people.[/QUOTE]

you didnt forget to bring your towel did you?!?!?!?!

you will love the sweet god, but it's out of canada i believe. but i spose they get it out there too.


well thanks orz at least 1 of you tried to help pooooooor ol' bugs!

will some of you smart folks read this lil thread. and help me out a bit. i cant just be mean anymore but i'm not super smart enough to shut up these people. need back up. or if you agree with the negative ones.....explain. i might listen to you guys more than some others.

**OFF TOPIC*** But you guys are my people so I have to share.

I go on Friday to get my MMJ cert! I'm approved at Cannamed. Just go get my papers. WOOHOO.

Now I don't feel bad about giving away a dozen white berry clones (Legal transactions) so I am under the state limit. Back in the dirt for a few weeks. So long for now, SOG. I loved growing this way, I believe it is the most efficient way to produce buds over time, hands down.

On to Coco next round, I'm thinking 3 gallon coco pots on drip.

i dont care if you tattle, it's too damned funny:hump:




now that i got that out of my system......oh, wait, hey lb....hehehehehe


ok now i'm done. but i was thinking we could (if they let us) have a logo for our thread so there would be no misunderstandings.


whattya think guys?

vote bugs in 2012
:peace:

wanted to see if any of you sog freaks tried this out yet, seen it in the new hydrofarm catalog.

http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=8795
looks cool and all, but not sure i'd touch it based solely on usability/re usability factor
i agree with lb...but if you insist on using rw floc type media then absofuckinlutely use that shit. it's wonderfull compared to rw. hell , almost makes me wanna try some. but media like that can hinder more than help in many applications. nice find though.:peace:

LB man how big do ur coco plants get in the 20 oz cups man.. Cant believe mine are already topping out at 18-22 inches man..Haha i went with small cups for head room they just want to conitnue to be beasts.
Just thought id stop by soggers. Lots of good info here.

Perlite is volcanic ash GB it does retain water hence the normal algae growth found in the medium. I grew with it for awhile myself until i got some hydroton. Nothing wrong with perlite its just not re-usable.

Perlite is rock right?!?

So it is 100% NON-absorbent, right?!?
Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has a relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. It occurs naturally and has the unusual property of greatly expanding when heated sufficiently. It is an industrial mineral and a commercial product useful for its light weight after processing.

Properties

When it reaches temperatures of 850–900 °C, perlite softens (since it is a glass). Water trapped in the structure of the material vapourises and escapes and this causes the expansion of the material to 7–16 times its original volume. The expanded material is a brilliant white, due to the reflectivity of the trapped bubbles.
Unexpanded ("raw") perlite bulk density: around 1100 kg/m³ (1.1 g/cm³).
Typical expanded perlite bulk density: 30–150 kg/m³


Uses

Due to its low density and relatively low price, many commercial applications for perlite have developed. In the construction and manufacturing fields, it is used in lightweight plasters and mortars, insulation, ceiling tiles and filter aids.
In horticulture perlite can be used as a soil amendment or alone as a medium for hydroponics or for starting cuttings. When used as an amendment it helps prevent water loss and soil compaction.
Perlite is also used in foundries, cryogenic insulation, as a lightweight aggregate in mortar (firestop) and in ceramics as a clay additive. It is also used by the explosive industry.[1]
Perlite is an excellent filter aid. It is used extensively in Australia and New Zealand as an alternative to diatomaceous earth. The popularity of Perlite usage in this application is growing considerably worldwide.
In 2007, estimated U.S. usage applications are shown in the following table:


portion general usage[2] 60% building construction products 14% horticultural aggregate 11% fillers 7.5% filter aid 7.5% other

Perlite output in 2005


In 2005, Greece was the top producer of perlite with at least one-third world share followed by China, USA, Japan and Turkey[3].
The cost of perlite has varied since 2001.[4]:

I would say it does absorb as far as liquids and what not. Did that answer your question?:joint:

also perlite is reusable, at least once. a simple bath in a diluted bleach solution and a good rinse and it is ready to go again. I used it for several years in the hempy style buckets but have since gone to coco. to reuse i would put 1/2 cup of bleach (plain unscented) in 10 gallons of water, let it soak overnight, drain rinse with another ten gallons then spread it out and let it dry. i used to put mine in the sun to dry but not everyone has that option so just spread out so that it can dry quicker. if it still has a bleach smell rinse it again before drying.

as big as i let them be



Power Plant (day 26). cant exactly remember her height when flowered, but around 8-10 inches...and mind you the sativa in her

or as small as i want them to be/can experiment with



White Russian (day 26). not sure what height this was flowered either, but im sure it was little when i flowered her...she is still going strong though, little or not
