I gotcha, so you didn't get a long because she is a finicky little bitch. Well that I can understand, that is why I banished the SC99 and White Berry from my garden, even though I brought another White Berry in this round.

Nice dude! Those would be a nice additive halfway through flowering I bet. I use the super soil and I like to lime at week two but I'm not comforatble adding humic and fulvic acids in powder form to my soil at that point because I don't know how much to administer.
These look sweet!

Tried the KF last night. It needs to cure yet, hoping it will tighten up. Its very pretty, nice crystal production. Nice flavor and odor, resins a ton when smoking a jib.... Definitely a head high. Smoked it on the golf coursed (played 9) and had 2 pars, a double bogey and FIVE 3 PUTT BOGEYS! Totaled a 44 and concluded that this is a great sativa for the golf course but I need putting practice LOL. I kept saying "I'm like high, but I'm not high." ahaha

I grew up on a golf course and still don't understand a lick of anything you just said besides being high. lol. Wait for the cure to convert THCA into THC, and then she'll knock your dick in the dirt.

humic and stuff is good for teas, bat guano's and seaweed, humic as where its at bro!
if ur buds are still wet in the center throw them in a paper bag its amazing how even it dry your buds. as far as curing you have to find my post about using the RH% meters it will tell you exactly how to give the best cure and let you know if ur gonna get mold. if you want info on it just ask and ill post it for ya.

I have both humic and fulvic but I'm not comfortable administering them b/c I don't know how much to use lol. I just use it mixed into the soil. Hook me a link on the cure. I don't worry about mold, I think I have curing down fairly well. Gotta give her some time! My shit is mold free but I do like the idea of using rh inside the jar that would be cool.

This method is particularly effective for folks who are starting out, those looking to maximize quality in a shorter period of time, and folks who's like to produce a connoisseur-quality product each and every time with no guesswork involved.
It's a very simple and effective process:
Cut the product, trim it per your preference, but don't dry it until the stems snap. Take it down while the stems still have some flex, but the product feel dry on the outside. This is a perfect opportunity to drop the dry-feeling flowers onto a screen and collect prime-quality kief that would otherwise get lost in the jar.
Jar the product, along with a Caliber III hygrometer. One can be had on Ebay for ~$20. Having tested a number of hygrometers - digital and analog - this model in particular produced consistent, accurate results. Then, watch the readings:
+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.
65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.
60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.
55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period (3 months or more) without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.
Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet. If you measure a RH below 55% don't panic. Read below:
Obviously, the product need time to sweat in the jar. As such, accurate readings won't be seen for ~24 hours, assuming the flowers are in the optimal cure zone. If you're curing the product for long-term storage, give the flowers 4-5 days for an accurate reading. If the product is sill very wet, a +70% RH reading will show within hours. If you see the RH rising ~1% per hour, keep a close eye on the product, as it's likely too moist.
thank a grower named simon for this method!
i bought some on ebay for like a $1 or so.

Great info dude. You can thank Simon for this rep coming your way! I can definitely front the cash for one of those hygrometers to ensure perfect cures every time. My BD just went into jars today and still have a good amount of moisture in them, I try to go for an extra slow cure because my buds dry up fast.

Dry humic acid can be mixed into the top layer of soil, applications vary, but it's hard to overdue it. I usually do a 1/4 lb per plant, I can do more, but I'm sure it would just be overkill. I get plenty humus as it is from earthworm compost, not to mention I use Liquid Karma for it's humic acids, amino acids, and yucca extract, which is not only a wetting agent but feeds microbes!I have both humic and fulvic but I'm not comfortable administering them b/c I don't know how much to use lol.

I will start doing some research and see what's recommended. Thanks for the info! How much is 1/4 lb? like 3/4 cup or so?
Well I got someone else this weekend. Another wedding, another person that though they could mix their liquor with my weed. Everything is fine and dandy, we're getting primed up at the reception at a resort... I ask a couple friends if they want to take a walk so we found the chair lifts and settled in for a small J of the PPP. I did my routine disclaimer, be careful, don't be afraid to quit or just take one or two hits yadayadayada.... We all took 4 or 5 tokes of the PPP and its working great after a few minutes, we have some comical convo and a heater until we get up to head back.... We make it to the patio where we see one of the guy's wives and we start chatting. My boy is joining in the convo for a couple minutes then he's quiet as all hell. I ask him if he's ok and he just shakes his head no lol. He started churling on the patio and I ran to get his driver to remove him from the party and when I get back he's sleeping on the ground in his own vomit on the patio.
I'm starting to feel guilty now! I can't keep doing this to people LOL.
Happy holiday peeps.

Ahaha, so true man, its really not my fault. He knew better than to use the level that combination level. There are times when I'm so drunk I only want a toke or two of weed. Hopefully next time when the opportunity presents itself he will make a better decision.
That's funny shit about your friend. It immediately reminds me of one of my friends, the one from last week's wedding lol. Being on the patio, that would be funny as hell. On the couch in my living room, notsomuch lol.
Ahahaha, nice Stoney, see how you found your zone? Something some people can't do lol. It actually is funny whether it makes me feel guilty or not lol.
So I made some oil last night. I think it turned out fuckin great. Smoked 3 or 4 hits of it and holy fuck! I was tore the fuck up. We grilled some food with some cannabutter too but I'm pretty sure it was the gd oil that blitzed me. I went through about 80 oz of premature sativa bud that I tore down early for my first two runs. It was the super silver haze if any of you remember that. DIdn't weight my oil but its not very much. The whole process is somewhat of a pain in the ass for that small of an amount but it damn sure is potent. Burned through 4 cans of butane to get the small amount too.
Hey Jozi, thanks for the "throwup rep" LOL

Hahaha, making someone throw up means your weed is good. Rep is given for good weed on RIU, lol, makes sense to me. Hahaha, making someone throw up should be a badge you wear, like in the boyscouts.
Dude, I want some oil man! Make us a video tutorial next time, I rather you show me how than some redneck mother fucker on youtube doing a shit job.
Oh, and I couldn't tell you how much a 1/4 pound of humic acid is, everyone makes there own, and it's all different. The granular from GH is about a cup for a 1/4 pound... fuckers only give you one pound. I'm going to hit up the internet for more though. I know humicdepot makes good stuff, I almost worked for that guy once, and his product made some tasty buds, I used it back when I was working a sweet operation.
