Very durable, the reservoir is plastic, and I simply let the roots dry out then pull them from the basket. They work great, still using two of them for my mothers all these years later.

Hey man, you still around? No idea if you remember me or not, been about 5 years now.

Anyone from the old thread still around?

Sounds shady. You had me convinced to buy one of cheap brand 1000w lights til I get the last page of this thread and read that ^.

Thank Pukka, it's not bad, but could have been much better. And that sounds great lad, can you up a few pics of the buds? Would love to see how your end product came out. Used the trim, stems, and under-developed bud to make bubble hash last night. Ordered a cheap 'bubblebagdude' kit off ebay...

Finally figured it out, just needed to let them air dry for a couple hours then rejar. Guess it takes curing a time or two to get the feel down for moisture content, think I'm slowly learning, its starting to ripen up a bit in the smell department, as well as smoothness/taste. Dry weight came...

That would make sense as far as them needing another day or so to dry out, but I'm pretty sure I didn't dry them out too fast. That was really my main concern with the whole process, as I know once you dry them too much the ability to cure properly is pretty much lost. How does drying them too...

Yeah the earthy/coffee/grassy aroma is what I have right now as well...Any idea as to why the bud that just air dried for a while smelled so good? I thought smell was obtained through the curing process, when organic compounds break down to form other compounds, as well as terpenes contributing...

Okay so I went by tonight to clean out the tent, and I noticed a bud I had trimmed about 2 to 3 days prior to clipping the plant. It had just been hanging behind the tent air drying...It was pretty dry to the touch, and it smelled DELICIOUS. It smelled exactly how the plant smelled before...

That's what I'm talking about, can't wait to see the pictures! I bet the scissor hash was an awesome taste of whats to come...I had never trimmed before so I had no idea that it would accumulate like that on the scissors, was very glad it did however. Very nice grow, wish I'd known about it from...

Nice grow man, what did you end up yielding from the "Elephant" strain?And it may have been a nice grow, but nowhere in this journal have I seen even close to $500 worth of genetics. It is your money to spend though, so next time you're interested in some seeds I've got a couple seeds that put...

Or just get a CocoGrower...same principle, better design because of the cocotek liner it comes with; No need for holes as its compressed coconut, and roots have no problem burrowing through ;) CANT wait to see what you get Otter, I'm jealous ;)

Thats about where I'm currently at puff...I hung them for 3 and a 1/2 days til the outsides were pretty dry/crunchy, but I could tell there was still moisture on the insides. Put them in jars from 1am til 12pm...just took them out and they all seem a bit moist again, similar to when they were...

Thanks otter :D

And about how long does it usually take for buds to air dry before going into jars? I've had them hanging for about 3 days now, at a temp of 70 with 50-60 percent humidity. The outsides are feeling pretty dry at this point, especially the smaller less dense buds. The small pop-corn nugs I didn't...
