(head hanging low, in a meek voice)No no no. Bad Dan! No timming until it's time.
Get a small microscope at the head shop (not the 100x). You'll see a little blob of goo on the tips of hair. When those blobs transition from clear -> milky -> Amber. You are ready to chop. Don't be impatient.
When you chop, pull all of the water leaves (by hand) and hang it in a dark closet. I little fan at the bottom (not blowing directly on the plant) to move air would be perfect. Hang for 4-6 days. It the bud feels wet or soft at all, keep drying. Wait until it feels a little crunchy on the outside, then pull it down and trim it up proper. Then put the bud in a big glass mason jar for curing. You MUST BURP the jar every day. Two weeks of cure and you should have some primo smoke!
I know it sucks to wait. But you'll be thankful you did. The high and the quality of burn is much improved after a few good weeks in a jar! Often, homegrown smells a bit like hay so curing helps that out too.
How did you pay? I've always received at least 2 emails from them when I've ordered.I placed an order for some seeds at the seed boutique (SB).......... I didn't receive an email when I registered or after I ordered ???....... When I checked the, "My Account", I used my email to "log on" at the SB and everything seems OK.......... Order status says, "dispatched"
BUTt, I haven't received any email updates or an order invoice.
Oh Well..............
Bank Visa/debit card............ That's what I have used at 2 other seedbanks/breeders.How did you pay? I've always received at least 2 emails from them when I've ordered.
Depending on where they're sending the order to, I've seen orders in as quick as 4 days before. Give them a week or so before you start sending out emails.Bank Visa/debit card............ That's what I have used at 2 other seedbanks/breeders.
I was going to email them but, I didn't want to be the impatient new customer........
I went to their site and logged on to My Account and checked to make sure my email was correct............ and it was.Depending on where they're sending the order to, I've seen orders in as quick as 4 days before. Give them a week or so before you start sending out emails.
I've suggested Seedboutique a lot, to the point where some even accused me of working for them, . When they ship beans that fast and include freebies with every order, now you see why.I received a package today from SBN (Seed Boutique)............. yippy....yay
Ordered Tuesday night on the 5th, it might have been Wednesday morning the 6th over there. They made it here today, Monday the 11th...................5 days, Nice job SBN!
They even sent me a freebie (10 seeds) from "Sam the Skunkman". The label says, Mixed Seeds x Haze/Skunk#1
Now I can add another seed bank to my list of places I've bought seeds from and actually received them...
how much did those mortar mixing tubs cost and what are the dimensions?For the first week of my first grow(1 1/2" rockrool cube), when I watered, I top feed until I saw roots on the bottom of the rockwool, I then put the smaller cube into a bigger cube of rockwool and top fed for another three days. I didn't have my flood table built yet, so, for the next couple of weeks, I would place the cubes in a bowl of nutes for 10-15 mins and let them soak up the nutes from the bottom.
I finally got around to building a flood table just in time for the lil' girls to go 12/12.
I copied my plans (ideas) off of a couple RIU members.
Thanks dadio161 and homebrewer for your threads here at RIU
I made a table stand out of PVC pipe and scrap plywood.
I used a couple of Lowes' mortar mixing tubs (1 for the res., and 1 for the flood table)
Here's a link to the tub info and if you put in your zip code, it will give the price in your areahow much did those mortar mixing tubs cost and what are the dimensions?
Mandala has such a nice website though I was hoping you'd say, "those Mandala freebies I got..... were the bomb" Oh well, I'll just put them back for a rainy day.Fyi, I was not impressed with my Mandala safari mix (freebie pack in my last order to SB). Hopefully you have better success.
