    I'm confused

    Dry them till the stems bend but not snap. the outside of the vbud should have a slight crisp. Sounding similar to hay, but you should still feel a soft bud when slightly touched. that's when you start cure. you should noticed a moist bud the 1st time you burp the jars. and should start getting...

    OK.. you can't just put them in jars or they will mold aND WILL NEVER DRY IN A WEEK. Hang them for about 4-5 days then throw them in tupperware or jars opening the jars for 20-3- mins 3 times a day for the first week after drying. then you should be able to only open the once aweek or so. It...

    is it safe to order xtra large cannabis growing equipment in internet?

    I've ordered plenty of supplies online. And keep in mind it's not illegal to own a light or hydro kit of any kind so I wouldn't even worry if they did see what was in it. And it takes months to grow so I highly doubt unless your goal is to become Tom Forcade, that they have resources to unleash...

    drying

    im sure it smells like grass right now huh? it should start to smell after day 6-7 or about 2-3 days into curing. If you have really good genetics it will stink before harvest

    drying

    My man p He pretty much nailed it for you. I always use a closet on my lower floor. Most people will tell you keep um in the dark in the low to mid 70s (F). I,ve dried in the dark usually about that but have dried in an 86 degree room before with pretty much same results. It's usually up to the...

    So it's day 83 and this monster is still growing. She's getting close but it's been 12 weeks and she's testing my patience. She's pretty dense, but she just keeps on growing, so I buckled and finally gave her a small, very small, amount of nutes derived from malasses sugars. Up to then I had...

    Is it normal for buds to be fat as 2 thumbs 40 days of flowering?

    They do tend to keep general characteristics but not always. They should swell eventually but as to how big I can not predict. FYI the "pistols" you refer are actually called stigmas and when they "explode" so to speak the plant is begging for pollen as it's life is winding down. So the swelling...

    So I chopped down the rest of old girl today. It's about 120 grams wet. so hopefully a solid ounce when it's dry. I think it looks pretty good, especially after I manicure it. Day 75 BTW. the other is 10-14 days away and I will resume updates on that one tomorrow. PS the next is a beast.

    Is it normal for buds to be fat as 2 thumbs 40 days of flowering?

    In my experience different phenos will act different and will bloom late, early, get bigger , smaller, you get the picture. So to answer question yes it is very possible for one to swell earlier than the rest. I have 1 plant now 2 weeks behind, it's the same strain its just taking longer and...

    I noticed a jug of water that's gotta be getting the humidity up which in turn keeps hot air trapped in the moisture. but sounds to me like an investment in a better reflector is order here. if you sourced that as your heat problem.
