man, HH deals in fire. i swear half the frostiest bud pic thread on IC are his pics.
Popped 6 Cookies 'N Chem. Only 4 made it. They all germ no problem, but I may have left them in the tupperware about 12-24 hours too long. They ended up wilting out on me. These are about 10 days after shedding the shell.

That's a mighty fine "straw chop" cover you got there. Nice clean and sterile look. Very important to cover your soil to help promote a healthier habitat for "microbes" to thrive.
I'm using "dead" pine needles from the pines in the yard. Surprisingly works very well. Pretty sterile and doesn't mess with PH either. There's "no insects", they don't seem to like venturing through it to get to your plants. Has anyone else used straight pine needles before?

The top gets dry quickly without some type of mulch or cover crop.
I'm dealing with that now in my 3 gallon cloth pots and may just dump some sand on top to retain moisture.
Calcined clay is also cheap and works great.

It depends on the type of pine. Many run slightly acidic and you may have to amend your PH long term. But you are spot on about them being a natural deterrent for certain pests as they don’t enjoy traveling over the needles.

Cut a pc of "garbage bag "doughnut" shaped. Creates that dark space the microbes like. Or even out of "cardboard" which might even work better.

I use only "dead and brown" needles. Basically, it changes nothing that I can tell. I like much better than grass clippings. If it isn't dry, it will mold.

I didnt think Gu would be so petty. at first i thoughtit was a mistake but he continued to blank me.

i was the very first person to suggest the "how many first people to like the post" idea so i was the first to like it but yet ive got no free pack of anything.

And the only reason i can think of is because im on Heisins free list. Theres no other reason i can think of.

Well i wont be spending anymore money on Greenpoint thats for sure

A little tight on timing- I got 12 weeks before vacation to flower, chop, dry, start cure. Will likely need a friend to

Dry your bovedas right out, if you get close 65-75%rh they will pull the rest of the moisture out.

Sorry if already asked, I searched this thread w no luck, wondering if anyone has grown Eagle Scout?

I have a pretty stable, pest free grow environment.
I did pics are back about a year . Grew 2 mediocre quality big quantity. to be fair I let them go about a week too long because the day I went to chop white pistols came outta no where., next time 4 males culled and popped the rest 2 lady's going into flower tomorrow stay tuned.

Did you message @gu on here about it? I'm on Heisen's list too and @gu still hooked me up with a pack of Macdawg. Shoot him a dm and I'm sure he'll make it right.

Mulching up harvested stems and branches have worked well for me. Aside from that, all cropped lowers and defoliated fans go right in the pot. ♻
