    Curing Issue

    Dont jar till they are appropriatly dry, and then check them in a day or two to make sure. If they are the right humidity then you dont need to burp the jars. If you leave them wet for to long they start to decompose and mold, at the very least they get that hay smell.

    biggest strain you have ever grown outside

    To grow any strain really big you need lots of roots and lots of sun. Anything you can do to improve those will help a lot. Things like early indoor vegging, composting all winter, using teas and benificial bacterias, planted in the ground preferably in raised garden bed, having a auto water...

    biggest strain you have ever grown outside

    I grew them both indoors for a few years before trying them outdoors. I like them both a lot and would recommend them. The GSC was from Cali Connection. GSC was very finicy indoors and seeded up once on me, it also grows in spears that like to get really tall so I had a lot of trouble with it...

    veg indoors first

    I did this last year and had amazing results, up to 5 LB plants. I live in Oregon so for us we want to get them in the ground somewhere between May 1st and July 15th, the earlier the better. I vegged mine also from Jan, but had some indoor root fungus issues so it wasnt a true veg. Plants were...

    biggest strain you have ever grown outside

    Grew two Critical Kushes last summer, aprox 8 LBs off them both and I threw away at least 2 Lbs of mold from the early rains, so I can safely say they averaged 5lbs each and grew to 12 or 13 feet. My Girl Scout Cookies were bigger at about 16 feet but only yield about 2.5 lbs each, closer to 3lb...

    UV Water Filter in a Nutrient Reservoir = Chelating?

    So I use blumats also and have battled pythium in my roots and various funk in my rez which clog up the blumats. I started using bleach, took some messing around the sweet spot that killed the pythium but didn't hurt the plants. I settled on around 1.5ml per 5gallons. Using bleach, caused some...

    Trimming Machines, and the Ultratrimmer

    I own the Trim Reaper and love it. The trick with auto trimmers is to just use them for your small nugs, the ones that take hours to trim and only result in a few ounces. Anything bigger than say a golf ball then I do by hand, that's no big deal because you can trim an ounce in a few minutes by...

    Are they ready to harvest?

    55° in flower room last night. Problems?

    your fine, you can almost freeze the plants and still be ok. Few things to watch out for though, slowed growth at lower temperatures, and potential powdery mildew from large day/night temp differences.

    heater at nights?

    From what I understand you dont want your plants to get too cold, or you dont want there to be too much of a temperature difference between day and night. The big temp swings can encourage powdery mildew but otherwise are not bad. Cold nights will also cause purple plants.

    Coco Nutrients !!!

    I use AN coco and like it, I also use their regular hydro brand when I cant get the coco blend. I dont think coco specific matters much as long as you supplement a little mg.
