    Dammmmmmn, they look like they grow a lot better over there than here!

    Quick Drying - The Other Side Of The Coin

    Gum trees as windbreaks? Weird. They tend to have a tuft of leaf on top of a tall trunk. I wouldn't have thought they had the right aerodynamics. Huh. They have one other major drawback... They're full of highly flammable, volatile oils... and when hot enough...

    Quick Drying - The Other Side Of The Coin

    Oh yeah, there's some close cultural connections between Aus & California. Lots of Aus expats in SF & SoCal. Ya bastards got most of our good electronics engos roundabout 1998-2000, just before the techwreck. Those poor sods are all now working in Outback Steakhouses, impressing everyone with...

    Just to let everyone know, it's harvesting time AGAIN (bless/curse/bless/curse/bless/curse/bless/curse), so I'm gonna be scarce for several days.

    Quick Drying - The Other Side Of The Coin

    I tend to disagree on that one. While it's utterly unpleasant to smoke mouldy buds, mould & fungi spores are very susceptible to destruction by heat and at temps far below the combustion temp of butane and burning veg matter. Moreover, the conditions required for mould & fungi to survive don't...

    Quick Drying - The Other Side Of The Coin

    Overdrying is not a terribly heinous crime. It's not hard to put some moisture back into buds, just a few ml of water on a paper towel, nested with the buds in an airtight container for a few hours will return buds to being pliant and springy. The biggest problem with overdry buds is their...

    4 day bud dryer for $40.

    Have you smoked some grown in the same batch which were UVB exposed and some which was not? Failing having any double-blind, peer-reviewed data, of course I was postulating based upon what we DO know for sure. You need a gas chromatograph or a mass spectrometer to do such measurements, so you...

    45 days of vegging and still no roots?

    Yes, nip off the growing tips of the remaining branches. Pathogen control in organic hydro grows is done with enzymatic agents and competing bacteria. While I'm quite sure it works in theory, quite a number of folx using that tack have come to me with root probs, which we rather quickly sort...

    How often to water Ebb Flow 12 site?

    Yes, and I'm also somewhat familiar with the trivial differences between shit & Shinola. :D

    Drying Bud with a Dehumidifier????

    So this has exactly what to do with drying buds? All one is doing when drying buds is removing water. Putting a source of water vapour in, near, or with the buds would simply slow the process. I can't see why you'd do it at all. Why add a source of water vapour when you're trying to remove...

    Just another shitty day in paradise. ;) What's the Lucas formula? First, inorganic nutrients are not synthetic. They're essentially composed of the stuff that organics break down into. Organic nutrients must first break down into elementals before the plant can use them so there technically can...

    Of course not, but the previous poster was talking about years for curing tobacco, that's essentially what I was addressing. I agree.

    A Batch of Clones in Rockwool

    Hmm... acetic acid based? The stuff I use is butyric acid based. Indole-3 acetic acid is a phytohormone, I guess it's just another way to get round the block. Yes, you'd have to subtract an estimation of the cutting weight from the cube, water & cutting weight measurement. 40mm wrapped cubes...

    Quick Drying - The Other Side Of The Coin

    You're thinking of silica gel, which you can buy in tins from craft shops for drying flowers etc. It works pretty damn good for drying flowers! pssssst- small Australianism hint, 'hella' is essentially synonymous with 'amazingly' i.e. 'hella good.' ;) You growing any tobacco? I'm not. THC...

    45 days of vegging and still no roots?

    Yep, the tip will make a very fine clone. Shorten the plant by about half its height. Take off the growing tips on the branches; this will force growth to divide and thicken.

    4 day bud dryer for $40.

    I'd like to see some decent botanical science substantiating that theory, thanks. There's lots of reasons that plants make sticky substances and neurotoxins, but it would be novel if any plant did that as a defence against or response to exposure to UV. Plants evolve to suit certain prevailing...

    light and airy buds??

    ah, right, an enzymatic agent. protein based, aids in breakdown of dead organic matter. Incompatible with H2O2 as H2O2 will nuke the proteins.
