Pics if you don't mind, Hellraizer-- curious how those beans look!

For fungus gnats, check out mosquito dunks. They are natural and cheap. They will not help with other pests, though. The chips are a great preventative.

IMO the problem has less to do with taste (assuming it's food grade) and everything to do with the static charge stripping the trichs off your bud. Stick with glass. Wide mouth mason works great, and you can get a doohickey that allows you to pump out air to help jeep it fresh. Just keep it...

I am considering pressing kief for long term storage (1-3 years). I have read (and it seems to make sense) that pressed kief keeps much longer than loose kief or jarred bud. I plan on wrapping the pucks in parchment paper and plastic wrap and keeping in my freezer. The question is, as I press...

That is strange. Any pics? I have a 400w hps running some seedlings not much more than 12" from the tops, and my ventilated hood isn't hooked up yet. I assume you can hold your hand comfortably over the plant tops in the light. You haven't inadvertantly changes anything else (like nute regimen)?

I second what Adrosmokin and canna_40 say. Shantibaba is the breeder to beat-- do research rather than believe hype. http://www.seedsman.com/en/origins-of-white-widow/

It's a fairly tough plant. You only work bending the plant under the screen while it's stretching, before trichome development. Check the seedbank section. I have likely really liked Sea of Seeds, but YMMV. The US gov't has been interrupting more shipments lately... :-(

No shame in starting inexpensively-- my first grow was in an old wardrobe cabinet with two 175w oudoor hps lights. Warning: the urge to upgrade gear can be overwhemling for some.;-) Thanks for the additional info-- Unless you have a very large closet, the cfm is not terrible-- it could be...

Nicely written up grow. +rep and subb'd. Should be a good ride. Great call starting out with bagseed. Once you get your game down (shouldn't take long), you will get the benefit of finer genetics. The plants look pretty good. My only comment at this point is that 82 is a bit high. What is your...

I'll stick my neck out for two reasons for judicial puning--- 1 - when you are interested in stimulating a specific type of growth away from the leaf sites being removed. For example, take a look at the upcaning demonstrated in post #5076 of this link...

I'd second SoS- very smart stealth. Got my first order with them a couple months ago and was very impressed.

For me the article points out that vaporization/combustion does not eliminate the risks posed by bacteria. True, manure is pretty heavy duty contamination, but it is not true that bacterially contaminated bud is harmless. ...and remember that stat on bathroom hand-washing?

Not to be fear mongering, but the OP does have a point. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/bodyhorrors/2012/09/13/marijuana-salmonella/#.UpDQu8TIWzE From the article: This wasn’t a food-borne but a marijuana-borne outbreak. Laboratory tests of the marijuana in question found staggering...

A lot of enforcement going on as of late: these raids and intercepts of seeds from abroad. The irony is that all of this is taking place BECAUSE of all the loosening of cannabis restrictions. States and even the DEA have been ramping down their war on cannabis, but they can't make it look like a...

It also depends on technique. 250w has only about 10" of effective light penetration, while your 600w had 20". In order to get the same grams per sq. ft., you need to be stingy with the light-- I would recommend a scrog and get that light as close as you can (vented hood is best). Even with...

No real world experience from me, but a question: Why not autoflowering?

Funny that now with MMJ and other legalization efforts, seed importation is getting stomped. Higher acceptance/legality would ordinarly mean less enforcement. Me thinks big biz wants to keep the herb out of the hands of the masses.

The search function is your friend, but there are literally thousands of posts to UB's threads-- it's easy to get frustrated and re-ask questions. Too bad UB doesn't have a book. It would be a boon to the world outside of RIU. Most books regurgitate the same info, much of it flawed, IMO...

Sweet! Thanks for the journal. I'm starting a small run of GDP right now, and you have me pumped for it.

First, you are right, it is strain dependent in that some ladys don't respond as well to being topped. Topping induces some stress, and you may not want to stress plants that are more prone to hermi. Other strains keep their central cola dominant unless the plant is topped, which can be...
