right 600 think tank,

I'm having a debate with a guy in the uk thread. i reckon drying in light makes little to no difference in the quality of your end product. the taste and burn will be more effected by the feed during growth and the cure post chop.

the other thought is that curing in the dark, makes for tastier better smelling product.

can anyone provide any actual science on either theory?

i can't see how light would degrade thc as lets face it we're throwing 600w(+) at them for weeks on end.

Don I agree with you. I have always heard the light degradation ("theory"). We are just supposed to accept that as it is just that way....lol. I would like to know as well, it sure would open up more avenues for me to dry.

Rep love from the 6 double zero. Many thanks, guys. uh, and nice pr0n! seriously... blown' it up!

Gotta run off to TCB for the day, but will be back. Looking at getting some clones from a local source here.. Blueberry, Bubbleberry, NY Diesel, and NL#5... oh, and I've got some seeds I'm itching to pop, too. No place to grow them yet, but I just picked up a little tent for vegging... so psyched! Gonna go stealth for a bit, and then hopefully when it's time to get stinky I'll have someplace to go.

Bassman, stay away from my account!!! :lol: ;);)

:peace:

I am there right now tinkering around...I just added a few capacitors to realign it. Hopefully the mods or admin can help you out. No doubt they have their habnds full right now though, so hang in there. Glad you made it back and the name is so close....reminds me of beerfest! they had landfill and landfill II

hahahaha, what a load of old cobblers. I only have mine drying in the dark because there is no point leaving the light on. And with the amount of time I spend in the stinky room, I would be as well leaving the blerry thing on. I am sure there is someone with some scientific gobbldygoop on the whole subject, but really, why on earth would a whole country like Morocco be doing it wrong? You got to love the UK growers thread, peeps get para over there if someone a Gazzillion miles away gets busted, lol. Don't believe everything you read in the news papers, haha.

It changes the color for sure, as for flavor I think it has more to do with the speed you dry it. fast dried buds always seem harsh and crispy. With a nice slow 5 -7 day slow dry followed by a 20 day cure in glass makes me a happy camper. I don't think the light degrades the THC much until all the water has been removed from the plant. Then the light and heat can definitely degrade the herb faster than if it were stored in a cool dark place. I smoke it before there is ever a chance of degradation to combat the problem :-)

Why T-5 last week or 2 Genuity? What spectrum also?

well,i like to think that the low light(6500k),is some what of an rest/downtime,for the plants.
but still the right amount of light,to aid in the resin production,and not break down the trich,to much.

I have to agree with Gen, a lot of people I know lower their lighting last week, especially with kush varieties. I am also dropping my lighting around 33% in the last quarter of the 12 period. All in all my 3 lights are only running like 2 lights.

Hello 600-ites!

A couple of baby pics:

BMF #1:





BMF #2



I hope they grow up to have buds like the ones you all have been showing!

*four more seeds yet to surface, but two have tap roots burrowing down, so they're soon to be free. More pics later as they pop.

Thanks whodat, hope life down on the who-farm is good lad.

Looks good for a start Budolskie. Looks like you could position one of them a bit further forward, but may be you wanted that front area free. Looks like it'll be a freakin jungle!! Sweet mate.

Good luck with the BMF Doob.

Hope you are all good this evening. Peace from the Stinky Room.

hey you sneaked that post in there and I didn't notice. Most peeps just printed their own stickers, or lucked out when the fairy dropped some off. Not sure if there are any still circulating. I gave most of mine to the Fairy when she stopped by......
