    Does anyone water cure there bud?

    I am not saying that flushing needs to be done, as i dont flush my plants and I have no issue with my buds (but I do O.G soil grows), but I have smoked buds that were over fertilized (chemical type fertilizer) and or under cured (air dried/cured) and it will effect taste and how it burns. If you...

    Does anyone water cure there bud?

    Plants will retain salts/fertilizer (one in the same) This is the same reason so many people flush their plants the last two weeks as to flush excess salts/fertilizers from the soil and allow the plants to use up the stored salts/fertilizers they have. If you have ever smoked an over fertilzed...

    Does anyone water cure there bud?

    the water works as an osomsis system, The water pulls out more of the salts, fertilizers, chorophyll than are drying/curing. this is why the final product will weigh less than that of air dryed/cured. This is why you must change the water every day, and you should use RO water (or water with...

    Does anyone water cure there bud?

    I think this way of expaining it is a bit confusing, as the final product really isnt more potent and it isnt going to get your higher or more stoned than the air cured bud of the same wet weight, it just has more THC per weight than air cured bud. Water curing removes more of the bad things...

    Does anyone water cure there bud?

    I like to water cure some of my buds, and have done it several times. I live in a non friendly MJ state and I like to use the water cured bud as my "going out weed" I like to roll one up using the water cured weed, as I can smoke a J almost anywhere in public since it has very little-no smell...

    First Post! Question about strain choice for sleep?

    Well I cant give you a strain choice from that site, as I have never smoked any of those, but I would order a Indica strain and harvest when the thrichomes are 40%+ amber in color, this should increase the levels of cbd and cbn.......and that combo should knock you the hell out...LOL Good luck...

    1000w or 600w

    I would run the exhaust/cooling fan 24/7 and the light on a timer of corse:) You could feed your Co2 through the intake fan if thats what u want. I use a passive intake system so my exhaust fan runs 24/7 as to pull fresh air in 24/7 and exhaust stinky air out 24/7 I dont use co2 in my set up...

    1000w or 600w

    I would run the 1000w or better yet 2 600w units ganged together with a 6" or 8" inline fan (400+cfm) If you decide to only run 1 1000w light with a 6" fan and a carbon filter, I dont see the need for another fan. Use the fan to pull air through the carbon filter, then past the light for cooling...

    Scupra's first grow 4x4 grow tent 600w dual arc

    Looking at your pics, I would say the plants look a bit under watered, as the raised edges on the leaves are good indication of that (providing temps are ok). The #2 pic to me looks more like the start of a lack of Nitrogen or heat stress than overfeeding. I would also have moved the light...

    Is this Normal?

    I would have to say Overwatering is causing your issue, MJ really doesnt need a lot of water when grown in soil.......you just want to keep it moist not wet. I would have also topped them before starting the flowering, as you are going to end up with tall lanky plants unless you find a way to...

    hows she looking?

    WOW, that lady needs some more light. I have my doubts if it really is going to fill out........where are all the leaves, did you cut them off:-( From the pics it looks to me like you have several weeks left (3-5 weeks) Maybe you could set up some CFLs for some side lighting. Man,that bitch is...

    Show ya rooms off

    Yes the CFL is a new add on, but I cant really get 5 plants in the tent as once they stretch-fill out 4 of them fill the tent from side to side. Im hoping the CFL will provide some added light below the canopy level as to help with some of the lower buds. I just installed the CFL yesterday and I...

    Airpot Users.

    I use air-pots. I start my seedlings in a standard size starter tray with humidity dome, once the roots start to show out the bottom of the tray-cups I transplant them into the air pots with no issues, just make sure you water the hell out of the soil in the airpots a day before transplanting...

    Water cure question....

    I like water cured bud as an option and do about 10%-20% of my harvest that way, makes for great stealthy smoke as it has no ordor when smoked.....almost loses it taste:( Anyway I think it depends on the amount of water to bud ratio, if you have alot of water as compaired to the bud then your...
