    How do I know when my bud is done drying?

    777 is the ideal dry 7 days 70 degrees 70% humidity. Your target is 65% humidry at the end of 7 to 10 days. At that point it is perfectly dried to the correct internal moisture for curing and can be put in jars with no burping needed. Dry to fast it stinks like lawn clippings. Dry below 55% and...

    Plants are outgrowing lights!!!

    Young soft plants your thumbnail is enough to indent the stem in a few places and fold a plant over 90 degrees. Older hard stems present a more difficult problem. Be to rough and snap the stem and everything above the snap will die. To prevent snapping we need to provide some strain relief...

    Will a blue or red led light be bad for drying ?

    Slow dry is the key. You need to take the full 7 to 10 days to dry down to 65%. Dry to fast it stinks like lawn clippings. Dry to deep (below 55%) and it will never cure. BNW

    Sativa?

    Sativa is better suited for high humidity as that is where they are from. However they get HUGE and can reach 15 feet or taller. Thin, small and wispy buds that take weeks longer to finish then an Indica or Hybrid will. Indica and Hybrids can be grown but will need to be thinned way down by...

    THC % Does Not Measure The High

    It is all in the Terpenes because it damn sure isn't in the Trichomes. I shake my entire grow with dry ice for the Kief. Removed from the plant material the Trichomes all smell exactly the same and the stone is exactly the same. Years ago I kept it all separated but I soon realized it wasn't...

    In ground planting: mixing native soil with no-till / super soil?

    I dug 16x16x16 inch holes in the yard with a 6 foot digging bar to get past that deeper layer of clay and get a fair sized hole. Filled with pure super soil the sites are lower then the surrounding dirt level so there is always some washing intrusion of yard dirt and your original holes will get...

    Edibles/tinctures very delayed reaction

    I soon broke the plastic one I started with and now use a commercial kitchen metal one. This style. It was in the $20.00 range as I recall. BNW

    Edibles/tinctures very delayed reaction

    CBD does nothing for me and ties up the receptors keeping the THC from doing the Job. Really high THC with just enough CBD to take the edge off is what works best for my type of Abdominal Adhesion pain. I grow my own and harvest late with a 60 day minimum cure before shaking the Kief off so it...

    How do I know when my bud is done drying?

    I grow in hot and stone dry southern California and our brutal conditions ruined more hanging drying bud then i care to think about. When the Santa Ana winds hit Humidity can drop to single numbers and in just a few hours your hanging plants are crumbly dust. Trim close seconds off the plant...

    Edibles/tinctures very delayed reaction

    Sure thing. The single freeze is a mouth texture thing as it softens and removes the "Sand in your mouth" the unfroze oil can have. The Kief oil is really tasty so I usually let the capsule melt in my mouth like candy. To degrade the oil somewhat and lower the speedy side effects and improve...

    What has been some of your most BS mishaps growing this flower?

    Using a sprayer that likely last had Herbicide in it to spray BT for Caterpillars. 15 plants that looks like I had hit them with a flame thrower. I did get part of a harvest but once i figured out what had happened I went out and bought 4 new sprayers. One each for every item sprayed and clearly...

    Power went off for 40 hours

    Plants will be fine but to prevent issues in the future keep a fueled and ready to run one of these on hand. Making both light and heat I've seen them save a grow more then a few times. Can find them used at yard sales for next to nothing and most will just need simple cleaning. They'll make...

    Edibles/tinctures very delayed reaction

    Using the highest proof you can buy 151-190 proof results in the maximum extraction return as the water content of 80 and 100 proof alcohols prevents good extraction. You can always water down an eyedroppers worth of to strong Tincture with an eyedropper of water for those who can't take the...

    Edibles/tinctures very delayed reaction

    Coconut oil hits in half the time as butter and all other cooking oils. Lecithin boosts bioavailability and you get more bang from a smaller dose. As we get older digestion changes and you are likely making less of the Conversion enzyme that changes the Delta-9-THC in your Liver to the far...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    For BT to really be effective you have to start spraying when the buds first form and keep on the treatments once a week every week without fail. Even missing one week can let the little shitters get established and dug in to deep to eat treated leaf. Running a bug zapper near by will help to...
