    giving defoliation during flower a try

    Thanks Alpha. I'm gonna look into the Shultz, sounds promising. We also like to keep our mothers in a soil mix but lately we've put a few into pure coco. Jury is still out but so far they're looking good in the coconuts.

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    Come on man - is this a trick question? You know that if you had defoliated that poor thing you would have about a pound of big ass sticky buds by now.... I can't see how any light at all is ever going to reach those bottom budzzzzz ... [ /sarcasm ]

    Drying Rack suggestions.

    We've developed a super easy and cheap method that uses simple cardboard boxes from Home Depot, coat hangers from your closet and some packaging tape. We slow the dry down with 'em. We use the hanging method so the buds never lay on their side and become deformed (flattened slightly on the...

    Blue mystic - Week 6, need your advice here

    In our experience over many years, dozens of runs, hundreds and hundreds of units, and thousands of happy patients the best yields are realized when we do not defoliate and when we keep the plants as healthy and happy as possible. We don't subscribe to fads and internet wizardry. Can't really...

    Blue mystic - Week 6, need your advice here

    Yes. The small buds at the bottom will have their best chance at making big buds if the rest of the plant is kept as healthy and vigorous as possible. Look and listen to the plant and give it what it wants. Most basic nutrient regimens are okay but use them only until you get a grasp of how the...

    Blue mystic - Week 6, need your advice here

    It's bushy because cannabis needs leaves to promote photosynthesis and make big buds. No, you do not need to amputate parts of the plant. Yes, I can explain exactly how you should do it without hurting the rest of the buds: Put.scissors.away.now. Happy, healthy cannabis plants make the best buds.

    Boveda Pack Question - if shipped half-assed are they ruined?

    Bovedas typically come in an individually sealed polypropylene wrapper. Each Boveda pack must be sealed to prevent premature loss of the liquid that permeates through the brown Boveda packaging. If yours were NOT in a sealed wrapper it is possible they are not 100% charged. I'd at the least...

    You Gotta See This One

    If you defoliate that so light can get to the lower buds you will more than triple your harvest. Probably get like 6.9 grams per watt of LED light divided by the velocity of the lumens squared multiplied by the ph of the runoff, or very close to a heaping shitload... that is if you're using AN...

    20% rH when curing?

    Just posted yesterday about a cheap and easy method to slow and control the drying process. if you've got a few coat hangars and a Home Depot nearby you're all set. See this thread - https://www.rollitup.org/t/knott-boxes-for-better-drying.857080/#post-11228421

    Knott Boxes for Better Drying

    Yea, it's almost an art form to see exactly when to both pull the buds and then dry them perfectly so that approximately 62% moisture is evenly distributed throughout the final product. We've had pretty good luck with this method because not only does it allow the dry to be slowed and...

    few cure/smell questions

    Did you trim before or after you hung the buds to dry? If you finish trimmed BEFORE drying that could be your biggest issue. Wet trim just does not result in the same final aroma (the "nose" of the weed) as dry trimming. We never wet trim, ever. Takes too much nose away. Dry trimming is easier...

    few cure/smell questions

    We use a simple, low-cost method easily duplicated. For best smell there are two keys: 1) slow down the drying process and 2) dry trim instead of trimming immediately after harvest (wet trim). I just posted a topic this morning to show how we do it...

    Knott Boxes for Better Drying

    We've developed some very simple, low cost, scalable and reusable gear that we utilize for drying. We employ cardboard boxes and coat hangers. Available at Home Depot, the 3 cubic foot "medium" box is just right. You've probably got way too many coat hangers already. We try to slow the drying...

    Curing Large amounts...

    Go down to Home Depot and get some 5 gallon food grade white plastic buckets with snap on airtight lids. Depending on strain they can hold up to 3 units if filled completely. We usually put only two or so units in and leave some air space so we can roll em around and separate the buds that tend...

    Help, if i dry the bud too long does it lose weight?

    ^^^ THIS ^^^ We try to slow the drying process also. 10-14 days is our target. We've found that slowing the drying process results in a much better outcome. Here on the west coast our humidity can get ridiculously dry, sometimes in the single digit range. If we dried our buds in these...

    Does Isopropyl extraction create a legal compound?

    Not exactly, at least in the Golden State. Our lawyers advised us that any chemical conversion process involving cannabis is prohibited in California; however, extraction processes that use water and CO2 are NOT illegal. So bubble hash and super critical extraction using CO2 will not land us in...

    Light ???

    No, but then again I can't get a donation of over $3k for each bushel of apples I pick :weed: Seriously, I'll give it a try sometime but in this instance we've got a run that goes into the room the day after it's cut, cleaned and prepared for more yummy goodness. Skywalker OG going in. Love...

    Light ???

    Agree 100% UB. More proof in pictures below. These are Super Lemon Haze late in week 8 with two more full weeks to go. Running 1000w HPS. Pure coco. Mostly Jack's ferts. With CO2. We have not plucked a single leaf other than the few that get damaged from time to time. We don't sacrifice the...
