After a prior frozen extraction I thought there might be some residual resin in it so I left the column of frozen buds, column meaning a 1 gallon spring water bottle with the bottom cut off, in the freezer for like 6 weeks with plastic over the top held on with an elastic, the plan being to pour...

Here's what my extract looks like. I posted about it on another thread about a week ago, but that time I accidentally bought 70% iso instead of 99% so I had some ice issues but this time I got the right kind and it went smoother. As I described earlier but will repeat here, I take fresh bud...

I found a patent that describes a way to clean up butane extract by simply sitting the container of extract/butane on a block of dry ice for a few hours inside a portable cooler chest to precipitate the crud. Might be a little tricky filtering liquid butane but it's apparently possible. It also...

Good strain if you find the right pheno, but the range of phenos is large. Out of 6 seeds that I grew out I got two plants that had good bud structure, one of them I would consider close to perfect, but the others were varying degrees of miserable, one completely unusable. Ripening time, 15...

I don't recommend that anyone in North America or Europe ever cure weed or smoke cured weed, it may be harmful or fatal to noobs, hahaha. Noobs can only handle fluorescent green weed. This is not completely fried yet but the curing part is done, took about 48 hours from harvest. Should be done...

When aging tobacco the whole idea of using mason jars is that you can heat them a little and put the covers on and create a slight vacuum to prevent air leakage. Purposely opening the jar repeatedly would make the jar pointless, would it not? You just create the vacuum and leave the jar sit for...

Curing and aging are two different things. The mason jar thing is actually aging rather than curing. The curing process requires humidity of at least 70%, from most references I read. Does the photo on this page not look like what people are doing with the mason jars...

I was just searching about tobacco curing and found a reference to "stalk-curing". Apparently it produces a high quality cigar tobacco. I then searched about stalk-curing itself and found that it causes weight reduction of about 11-12% compared to cut leaf dried off the stalk. They found that...

I've found that 65% is just right. Less than that feels too dry, more is too moist. 62% is noticeably too dry. What I do is dry with calcium chloride, Damp Check moisture absorber refill pellets, in a closed container on a heat mat with parchment over it and set on 1 the full duration, which is...

I found that blasting high wattage on the top of plants only makes the tops smaller and drier, but if I only blast about 30 watts/sq ft LED on the top and also blast about the same wattage upward from the bottom, just above pot level, I get both higher quality and yield. It's actually surprising...

For my money, Osram/Sylvania. This page ranked them top among several 100w replacements and all customer reviews I've seen on store sites were positive. I've only ever had one burn out on me so far, probably a factory dud. These LED bulbs work as well as COBs in my experience, and being much...

I mentioned in other posts that one of my Cree COB drivers burnt out after a couple years. Well, looking at the two drivers I have, I noticed that the burnt one has a stickon label whereas the good one has the label printed right on the metal casing. I recalled that somebody posted about a...

Sounds impossible but not so. You can simply add a bunch of distilled water to dilute the alcohol to less than 50%, the more diluted the better, probably try for more like 20% or less for optimal recovery. A white emulsion forms. Add pure salt, like "kosher salt", and mix. I've read you need...

I just had one fairly small plant as a clone mom and after taking a bunch of cuttings it was reduced to the main stem and numerous small growing tips to regrow from. Since it's in about a 5" pot and had been growing for quite a while I got the idea to prune the roots back to equalize better with...

I've noticed that when I stick a seed plant in with a bunch of clones te seed plant takes way longer to start flowering, even though most weed plants supposedly are able to flower at about 3 weeks growth and mine had to be at least a good 4-5 weeks, had been topped and grew back. Not only that...

It's this right here, equal intensities of various lights. Granted they're selling their special "secret" type of LED grow lights but the study could still be valid. From https://thegreensunshineco.com/hps-vs-led-grow/

You may have heard of a 6/12 light cycle, supposedly yielding the same weight as 12/12 in less time. Another person reported success with a 7/12 cycle. The problem being that it's not easily possible to use such non-24 hour cycles with a regular weekly timer. Well, oddly enough nobody ever tried...

This pic shows how bottom light with 100w replacement LED bulbs eliminates dim zones entirely, assuming short plants. No more fluff. It's about one per square foot. Each one draws 14 actual watts. That's equal to about 20w of fluorescent, which is ample for healthy plant growth by itself, even...

I was using all LED for 3'x1.5'x6' chambers (Walmart portable closets) until recently when a driver burned out for one of the 220w high bays so I had to replace it with a 150w HPS I had, and four 14 LED screw in bulbs. So together it was 206w, and a ratio of about 3w of HPS to 1w of LED...
