    3 Year Cure, Does It Look OK?

    I vaped with a VaporGinie, you use a lighter to heat the ceramic. It was my first time, I think I got the flame too close to the ceramic which I've read could cause combustions. I'm definately allergic to ragweed, I supose I'll be sensitive to weed as well...time will tell. The Bud is definitely...

    3 Year Cure, Does It Look OK?

    Mostly Bud and picked when trichs were at 50% amber. Here's a pick a couple of weeks before harvest (taken off one of my threads from 3 years ago), all my finished pics are on a dead hard drive.

    3 Year Cure, Does It Look OK?

    So I vaped a little last night, probably 0.20g in my new VaporGenie. The vapor did irritate my lungs and throat, but nothing like when I rolled the same stuff up 3 years ago. It's possible it got too hot or I held the flame too close to the ceramic (newb still learning). I've also read THC is an...

    Experienced Electrician! Here to Answer Any and All Growroom Electrical Questions

    So I only need one, thanks for the info. Can you tell me what size? I've been tying to find the diameter of a 16 gauge wire, but I'm just not getting it. Chart shows 0.0502 and 1.3mm, but that doesn't make sense to me. The units I see online come in 7mm, 8mm, etc...cheers

    3 Year Cure, Does It Look OK?

    In 2010 I grew a few lbs of bud on my terrace. I gave most of it away as I didn't smoke at the time, but I did keep a couple onces of everything I produced. I cured everything in mason jars (after dried), burping regularly for a few months. I threw it all on a shelf in my closet and forgot about...

    Can someone explain the Ferrite Clamps to block or contain RFI noise. Do i just need to clamp 1 unit to the cord leading from the ballast to the light? What size clamp do I need for a 16 gauge cord? I had a visit from the cable guy a couple of years ago, I'm not looking forward to another knock...

    Cutting away rot when manicuring???

    I've been harvesting various plant the last week and will continue to over the next week or 2. While manicuring I'm cutting away the bad bud. In some cases I find some early rot (slight browning on the inside of the bud near the stem). The question is, if I miss a little of the early forming...

    Mold spores and specks of powdery mildew

    Question for the Pro's I'm going to have some mold spores and specks of powdery mildew that are going to get missed at harvest time. Will these guys die during the drying and curing process? I'm assuming these spores and specks of mildew are going to end up filtering through my bubble ice...

    have to harvest early...Bud Rot. What do you think of the trichs???

    My plants went through 7 straight days of 100% humidity and rain, although 4 of the 5 did not experience direct rain. The one that did, developed some rot within 2 days on the bottom branches, but it might have been pest induced. The other plants were tightly fit into my green house which...
