never heard of that. I'm curious now though. It would have to be completely dry hay.

never for marijuana but i have for mushrooms...... it does give me the idea of trying it tho....... my only concern would be the hay molding, if it starts to rot because of the moisture content then you can say byebye to the whole grow.......

You can buy decoys for goose hunting which are basically a plastic hay bale big enough for 2 hunters to sit in with slits all around for vision. I'd rather gut one of those, set it outside and grow in that. You could set your grow in plain site and your neighbours would never know.

haha thats true!!! good thinking you could even make a greenhouse/hothouse out of it

but what i was talking about is strawbale gardening , its a new organic proven method,, :eyesmoke:

not long ago i bought a bag that smelt pretty strongly of hay. my dude said it was grown in between 2 hay storage sheds. wasnt the best quality smoke, but i have no idea how the hay had effected it

Haybale gardening has been around for years.

I worked in hay when I was younger, you keep it wet like MJ needs, and mold will show up
prob wind up with root rot also.
I wouldn't advise it.

ive seen 1 plant that was thriving in the STRAW-bale witch holds a litle mosture but provides plenty of oxygen to the roots,,
i just wondered if anybody else does this ? and it does work! it smelled wonderfull

PEACE

keeping hay wet promotes mold in a big way.

Any hay we didn't put in the barn we covered, the hay will decay and break down so I would NOT recommend it.

its not hay ITS STRAW lol

theres a big diff ,,, a bale of hay gets waterloged and airtight but a straw bale will dry out much quicker and doesnt compress like hay does,,, just wanted to get that pescy hay=mold subject out of the way :peace:
