    Online clones- CCC (Canadian Clone Consulting) vs GTA Clones

    I'd second primo clones for anyone looking for quality clones that are pathogen free. I grabbed a cut of Twinkle Tart to test his service (originally reached out about the Sour Diesel availability) and got a One Night Stand tossed in for free.

    Bubble hash

    Thanks for clarifying and it looks like you'll be busy soon enough harvesting/processing all that outdoor.

    Bubble hash

    Do you just do the one wash then? Makes sense if that's the kind of quality you're getting, your comments about running the AC in the kitchen to keep everything cold is why I started playing around with trying to build a better 5gal bubble machine that's well insulated.

    Bubble hash

    Do effects matter when the analogy is about personal preferences regarding tastes and potency? Most people understand different booze is appropriate at different times and that it's a personal taste more then anything. That concept is rarely applied to pot where people are usually chasing the...

    Bubble hash

    Very nice, what's your process? Do you use a machine or stir by hand, what kind of agitation times, etc?

    Bubble hash

    Put another way, what's the best booze: beer, wine, cider or whiskey? The more people you ask the more different answers you get as most people have enough experience with booze to learn what they prefer and when, which is no different then flower, hash or rosin in the end. Alcohol is a good...

    Leaf damage after potassium bicarbonate foliar

    The damage could have shown up after the 2nd application from accumulated phytotoxicity, it does seem odd though. I generally use neem oil and potassium bicarbonate together after reading papers about how a carrier oil increases the effectiveness of it. Using neem just means it's a general...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    I've never bothered to count but I currently have 14 varieties while getting set up after a couple months of not growing, I usually keep around 25 moms and am constantly growing seeds as well as clones collected at pot socials, so a consertative estimate of 15 cultivars per year over 15+ years...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    That's why I didn't say "all frosty weed is weak" but instead qualitfied that most frosty buds don't do it for me. I'm still not sure what you're trying to say as it seems to be the same thing I said: frost doesn't equal quality as there are strong and weak frosty varieties and sampling product...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    Depends how you define potency I guess, in the most literal sense THC percent equates to the potency as it's the main psychoactive cannabinoid although subjectively the effects of sedative vs stimulating bud could define potency I suppose since some people find one experience or the other more...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    I've grown hundreds of varieties and tasted even more, it's obvious frosting doesn't equal quality and has been clear since I grew black widow 20 years ago and has been reaffirmed by numerous modern cultvars. It's an inexperienced opinion on par with thinking alcohol percent determines the...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    Most frosty nugs don't do much for me, within 15 mins I don't feel the buzz anymore whereas something like the guatamalan my buddies collected doesn't have much visible frost (small bracts and none on the leaves really) but is like drinking 3 shots of espresso and makes me anxious/paranoid for...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    This was my first reaction when I saw the thread, yield and frost are both secondary to quality. Potency is less relevant then quality to me, as flavour and the effects being interesting or how well it yields when squished/washed. Those are more important then how strong it is to me. Yield...

    large yield vs frosty buds ?

    Not all trichomes are equal, there's various forms of them and capitate stalked trichomes are specifically the ones we're looking for. So the amount of frost on a plant doesn't equate to THC levels or quality, that's a beginner mistake and why looking at pictures online has little relevance to...

    Pretty Guttation

    Lol, that's also my favourite combo except a couple generations earlier with the OG 5D mark 1 and the non stabalized macro lens (which I'm fine with as I usually use extension tubes)

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Sounds like a hybrid unless you're using bottled nutes then it's straight hydro. It reminds me of a dual root zone aquaponic system, although there the soil is another type of filter to keep the water clean for the fish. Adding a bubbler makes sense though, roots need air so if they're growing...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Bottom feeding with mineral salt fertilizers runs a much bigger risk of nutrient lock up, you could solve it by adding a drain so you can empty the res, flush your plants and then shut the valve and refill. Depending on the system you're planning to run it could be more complicated but that's...

    Elite gear is overrated

    The short version is hippies collected seeds from around the world as they travelled the hippy trails and smuggled dope from all corners back to the US. Growers crossed those landraces together creating classics like Skunk, Haze, NL, Blueberry which travelled over to europe as prohibition...

    Jordan of the islands

    I never really figured out when JOTI became known as a good breeder, when I started growing 20 years ago he was known as a pollen chucker along with Cash Crop Ken or Federation seeds; often selling F2's of other people's work. Which is why they were cheap and good for beginners to learn with...

    the water I irrigate flows immediately from the bottom

    Over and under watering are the kinds of cultural practices that hold most beginners back as they usually don't understand how hydration affects other things like nutrient absorption. It seems to have been compounded as more people learn from the net without ever reading a grow book that drives...
