    garden safe diatomaceous earth

    Works great when it's dry and it will also add silica to the soil mix. You should apply it outdoors with a "puffer" that disperses the dust evenly and lightly. Wear a dust mask when working with it. Works great against fungus gnats!

    Introducing.. URSA Optilux + 4/20 SALE!!

    THIS is a company that I have been intrigued about from the start....but the updates and responses are so random and inattentive, I just don't have the confidence in them. Their website is NEVER updated and a lot of technical information isn't available.....all the stuff that LED people want to...

    Religious ironies

    One of them, for me, was that I was taught to understand that we WILL see our dead relatives when we die...We will all meet up in Heaven and all that....But, my Dad died when I was really young, and I've already lived longer than he did....so, then...when I die and go up to Heaven and meet up...

    Questions about dimming

    Are there any dimmers that are "ratcheted" or "indexed" to correspond to a specific level of dimming? For example: If the dimmer can go down to 10% of full power at the low end and 100% of power at the high end, then there must be corresponding levels in between those extremes....but there is...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    Wine, for example, can be highly variable in quality, too. For the people who are really into it, they can pick out all the subtle nuances of the grapes, the type of wood that was used to age the wine and all kinds of stuff that would go right past most anyone else. But it is real for them and...

    Help with determining plant sex

    "If the pre-flower has a stem and a knob, then you can introduce that plant as "Bob". :)

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    I think if there was a graph to show marijuana viability (for both psychoactive ingredient and terpenes), the graph would probably look like a bell curve -where the "peak" would be somewhere around a month in the jar at the proper humidity. After that, I think the terpene profile would change...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    Maybe some of the psychoactive components can last a long time...but terpenes are volatile and will evaporate (volatilize) over time. So, it depends on which components you happen to like....I happen to like rich flavors and terpenes. Something from the mummy's tomb may be smokeable, but it...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    Yes, I just recently found a company that is producing a good cut of GG#4 and, interestingly, they do include a harvest date AND a terpene percentage as well! But, overall, many brands of the smaller packages that I like to occasionally buy just to try a different flavor or whatever, have been...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    I don't mind occasionally going into a rec store and buying $15 grams -IF the buds are high quality and freshly-harvested enough that I can take them and store them properly for a longer term. But the problem comes when the buds have been on the shelf improperly stored day in and day out for...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    Of course Boveda packs are great, but they don't put them into individual recreational packaging -at least I've never seen them in use that way. I'm not talking about how I grow and store weed. I'm talking about recreational weed and the fact that the buds are not packaged for long-term storage.

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    I have stored it for a year in vacuum packed violet glass jars kept in the fridge and detected very little "aging"...On the other hand, most recreational buds are packaged very dry to begin with -I think to avoid any risk of it getting moldy- and they are often individually-packaged grams -or...

    Should expiration dates be used on recreational cannabis?

    They definitely are not storing it properly. That's for certain. They aren't packaged for log-term viability in the recreational market as far as I can tell. They are put into clear plastic bags or containers and then kept in well-lit rooms at room temperature. UV rays and higher temps are what...

    Gas Lantern Routine

    The other "funny" thing was that when I break up the buds, I get hundreds of tiny "proto-seeds" for lack of a better term. They appear to be the very earliest beginning of a seed formation inside each calyx...hardly even noticeable they are so small...but they are there and I thought it might be...

    Gas Lantern Routine

    The ripening on the phenotype I grew under GLT and DLS was that it just kept throwing out new "tufts" of white hairs on otherwise-already-ripe buds. I went a full ten weeks and it just kept throwing out new tufts. The trichomes stayed mostly clear-to-milky and I felt like I was detecting less...

    Gas Lantern Routine

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think that using DLS in flower will (may have) some photo morphological effect on the production of terpenes and/or other chemicals produced by the plant. I observed slow-to-ripen aspects on a strain that was supposed to be a fast finisher....but I haven't used the DLS...
