    Automatic trimmers - yes or no?

    Actually after I started this thread, seeing how some trimmers are built I think I will put my modest machining experience to use and fabricate my own hand trimmer, something like the EZTRIM Wander Trimmer, the design is very simple. I'll get around to it at some point.

    CFL DAMAGE EYES? PLEASE ADVISE

    You need ventilation for your plants for sure, but you can get with a fan, you don't have to open the whole thing. The small amount of light going through the vent holes shouldn't be bad, just don't stare into your lights. Generally speaking UV both from the sun or a CFL is bad for you, not...

    CFL DAMAGE EYES? PLEASE ADVISE

    This has nothing to do with strong eyes. The damages will show as you get older.

    CFL DAMAGE EYES? PLEASE ADVISE

    Definitely not good for you. CFL works on UV and quite a lot of it is leaking out. 300W is a lot. Just seal it and it should be ok.

    Colloidal Silver to make fem seeds question

    Silver is not a toxin, it is a metal, and it does have negative effects on humans upon inhalation, ingestion or topical exposure, namely Argyria. It is not a life threatening condition but it will mean you will look like smurf for the rest of your life. But you would have to smoke crazy amounts...

    Chloroform Extraction- First Attempt

    A heating mantle is super easy to make yourself btw. Also, I'm thinking, if chlorophyll is such a problem, what about dousing the plants with ethylene, or let them cure in ethylene atmosphere? It's a strong inducer of the Chlorophyllase enzyme which as at name suggests, breaks chlorophyll down...

    FinShaggy Breeds Strains with an African Genetic Base (Revolutionary Breeding Company)

    No clue who brave Dave is, I'm just saying bunch of 30-40 year olds poking fun at a clueless 18 year old on the internet is not unusual. I personally have better ways to spend my time, but I know there are plenty of bored people on the internet, fine. But doxing the guy and harassing his family...

    FinShaggy Breeds Strains with an African Genetic Base (Revolutionary Breeding Company)

    I don't know guys, if that kid is 18 and his biggest crime is ignorance and delusions of grandeur, going after his family and friends is crossing the line, IMHO. It makes you bullies, and it's not the kind of behavior I came to expect from this forum, except for unclebuck maybe. @rollitup .

    I did everything you shouldn't do...

    You can use that pollen for breeding only if the plant it came from had certain qualities you want to preserve AND if you are ready to screen hundreds of plants from the resulting seeds to select the ones that present these qualities. The fact the cutting survived in water is not a good enough...

    I did everything you shouldn't do...

    Who decided what you *shouldn't* do? Plants were on this earth long before us and probably will be long after we are gone. They can survive, and even prosper under very challenging conditions, in most cases growers just get in the way. Cuttings can survive for weeks in plain water, that's normal.

    How many seeds on a plant is too many seeds for maturing?

    That's why all my friends who grow rinse their buds after harvesting. :)

    Jello Candy vs Extract Flavoring

    Whenever mixing any water-based solution (polar) with oil-based solution (non-polar) you would need something like lecithin for emulsifying and homogenizing the mix, otherwise the layers will separate. THC and most other cannabinoids have very poor solubility in water. The are soluble in oils...

    Ever "abandon" your guerilla grows and come back to happy plants?

    Actually the thing that ruins 99.9% of the grows is growers. :)

    That's not physically possible, or your margins for "about" are quite wide.
