All I know is I'm going to scrog/trellis the hell out of my next grow. My journal (blog) shows the current mess I'm in. I wish I'd seen this many months ago. So I'm fresh outta k-nex. :-) I am thinking metal screens are more my speed, but I did a little math. I have a 2'7" x 2'7" x 5'11"...

I don't get why a "grow journals" section exists here at all in a public forum and people have to be told not to post unless they are asked...really? :confused: Especially when there is a dedicated feature for journals (blogs) on rollitup where the user is empowered to control the comments...

They say that "autos" will yield the best when given as much light as possible. So presumably that mean that giving them less light would be less than the possible yield. Of course that depends on many factors beside the light and it doesn't mean they won't yield good...just less than the...

Very awesome. Bonsai Weed! You've inspired me to get a little more creative for my next grow.

To mafioso kermits point I'll add... Flushing for long periods at the end of a grow to "stress" the plants into flowering is retarded because you artificially stunt the plant from maintaining subsequent growth after you cut off the ripe buds. It assumes you will always harvest all of the...

Thank you Enlightened One. It's all a matter of time. In the mean time, I'm still sourcing an adequate miniature ventilation fan and working up the specs for an integrated ducting system for the Micro Dessicator 1000.:fire: This is just the prototype but we're shooting to be in stores by...

Not to mention a very sticky vice... That sounds crazy to me. How can you ask me to squish my babies? But I dunno...maybe you're on to something. I guess I won't knock it 'til I tried it.

Right on Cannabineer. After typing all the rest of this I finally saw your post. You've confirmed all my assumptions. Thank you. I don't really plan to use this method on a large scale, but it will be intesting to compare one dried with dessicant and one dried in the traditional manner in...

If done right, planting the seeds directly into a moisture controlled substrate (I prefer rockwool where I can control the PH and PPM much closer) is much more efficient and will result in faster growth simply because you minimize any transplant shock. However; that logic really only applies...

I tried just putting the semi-dry semi-ripe bud in my vaporizer at 195 C (383 F) and it's pretty damn good. So there it is...I'm convinced. The very best quick and dirty cure is... Cut a bud off the plant and do a quick manicure. Apply the rule of thumb (literally)...if it is bigger than...

So it sounds to me if you're going to heat it then the temperature is the key. The oven method in Cervantes' book says break it into small pieces and stick it in an oven at 150 F for 10-15 minutes. Also not to go above 200 F or the resin will boil and vaporize. It was about 20-25 minutes at...

This was the first try. But I will certainly do a side by side test when they are finished and post back what I find.

Now I know that a slow cure is the way to go for premium quality. But I had way too much free time today and I was thinking about quick drying some buds off my still growing plants to wet the taste buds. So I broke out my handy dandy pot growers bible (Cervantes' book) and he lists a few...

Thanks potpimp. I appreciate that. And I really dig the site. It has been an invaluable resource on my little endeavor so far. So anything I can do to give back is well worth it.

This is nothing. You should see the amount of time it's taken me to write the software to measure out my nutrients. I've even been known to code on it at work.

So I got to playing around this afternoon and came up with a fun toy. I'd be surprised if nobody has done this before, but this just worked out so great that I had to share. I got my hands on an ActiveEye 30X loupe with an LED light. On a whim, I decided to put it in front of a webcam to see...

I suspect that their code which compresses and converts picture uploads forces the pictures to be in "landscape" orientation. That is wider than it is tall. As opposed to "portrait" orientation where it is taller than it is wide. So if you upload a picture in "portait" orientation it detects...

Thanks. Its good to have a little validation. I'm super paranoid about over-doing the nutrients, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something there and stunting my girls.

I have a question for some of you hydro vets. So I'm in the tail end of my first grow in a GH Rainforest 66 (my journal has more details about it) and have been adjusting the PPM of my nutrient solution using a digital meter so I can get very accurate. I've been using tap water which is...

Thanks sull. I hope you're right and I'll take your advice. I'll just keep them going as scheduled for now. I figure even in the remote chance that the one doesn't flower, 2 is always better than 1. I've got some more autos and a few normal feminized strains to grow after this batch is...
