    Can someone tell me about "Fireballs"?

    Hi Bob! How would you describe the Fireballs plant? Mine has very short internode spaces and lots of branches -very bushy. Smells like pee at 9 weeks and seems like it wants to keep flowering for a couple more weeks. It's still drinking a lot of water!

    Side lighting

    I bought the 16" set. It's a cool design. It can be configured in several different ways depending on your grow style. I'm not sure it helped the wispy-larf much, but it did make it easier to see the lower parts of the plants. It may have sped up the trichome-ripening of the larf, but it didn't...

    Can someone tell me about "Fireballs"?

    Wow! My Fireballs is on the right (sorry about the poor pic.) Mine is very green....lots of trichomes....small-ish buds..smells like straight cat piss! This phenotype is taking its time about finishing but I'm looking forward to trying it...Not really a big fan of cat piss smell, though.

    I can see that some of YOU people on this thread, are that same types who COULD start up a small business and tap into a new frontier of manufacturing these curing chambers so that we could all be able to get them instead of currently just this one company that seems to have a monopoly going at...

    I see some sad face responses. My apologies! I know that a larf plant isn't usually desirable, but, I am a SMALL-time grower and I always look forward to seeing just what kinds of surprises I will get each time. I don't have any quotas to meet or orders to fill. I just enjoy the process for the...

    "The Wispy One" Chernobyl phenotype has basically turned into a tumble weed. It's almost all larf from base to top buds. Once it dries, the smallest buds will shrink down to almost undetectable! However....having said that, the terps are just incredible! The upper larf has turned dark purple and...

    Can dry ice be used instead of water ice to make bubble hash?

    Yeah the dry ice sublimates and won't ever "melt" and mix with the water, but won't the fact that it's a lot colder than water ice make it better for cooling the water down?

    Week 4, day 1 of flower....buds too small??

    SHEESH! Well, anyway...I think the plants will do okay if you just let them recover. The stalk looks nice and thick....I dunno...I think the plant could still yield some decent buds. People will say to not check the runoff....but I do it all the time. It certainly doesn't hurt anything. Soil is...

    Can dry ice be used instead of water ice to make bubble hash?

    I'm not talking about shaking dry ice and weed through a filter bag. I'm talking about replacing the regular water ice with dry ice to keep the water colder for a longer time. Has anyone tried it?

    4x4 grow lights on a budget?

    Can't complain about my Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro(s) -I have two of them....less than $150 delivered after coupon and Cyber Monday sale. It's one of the best reviewed lights on the MIGRO channel. It's small and easy to hang. They can daisy chain. You can add more as needed. EDIT: I didn't see...

    Drying and curing

    Yeah, I always wondered when curing weed came into being. It certainly didn't exist in the 70's! But, somewhere along the way, people wanted to try and "mummify" the buds in order to preserve them as long as possible with as little degradation as possible....because it might be a long time...

    Ph level adjust

    To answer your OP: Yes, you can pH your incoming water at a level to compensate for soil pH. If your goal is a soil pH of 6.0-6.5 and your soil runoff or slurry test is 8.0, then you can pH your incoming water DOWN to 5.0 and run a bunch of it through the soil until your runoff comes into...

    UVC bulb in drying tent to deter mold?

    Yes, I see what you're saying. But, what about those sterilizer "wands" that you swipe over stuff? That's only a quick swipe and it supposedly kills any spores, viruses, bacteria, etc. I'm thinking that if I was to put the UVC bulbs on a timer that would come on for, say a minute inside the...

    UVC bulb in drying tent to deter mold?

    I'm just wondering about an idea to put a UVC bulb in the drying tent and having it on a timer to cycle on and off as an extra measure to deter mold. I know that light degrades the weed, but if it only comes on for a short period of time, I'm not sure if it would make a difference as far as...
