    Hello! Newbie to the forum and growing.

    Since everyone hates to not know how it ended... 500w of Cobs 501.7g of amazing product after washing, drying, and trimming. Met my 1 gram per watt goal for my first grow. I am a happy camper. Peace out.

    First time DIY Cob, how did I do?

    I am using 90 CRI 2700k cobs along with 730nm monos for putting them to sleep at night. My 8 week strains just hit week 9 today and still questionable if I chop today will it be too early going off trich colors. I don't buy into 90cri or 730nm shortening flowering at all.

    Hello! Newbie to the forum and growing.

    And this thread is done... I will be doing any new updates on my grow on youtube from now on. Much more interaction on there. :)

    First time DIY Cob, how did I do?

    I use 5 in a 4x4 and it works good. Not great, but good. About to upgrade it to 9 myself. I think 5-6=minimum 7-9 good middle ground, 10-12=high light and over 12 @ 50w just gets insane and would require CO2 to be useful.

    Hello! Newbie to the forum and growing.

    Harvest day for a couple today! Did a live harvest on youtube. Little long and boring but it was my first video and I am learning. If it wasn't live I could edit it down to under 15mins.

    20 Ton Rosin

    So I added 2 layers of that $8 Amazon exhaust tape on top of the cage, one layer between the bottom plate and silicone mat, and another layer on the ram itself (so 3 layers on top). MUCH better now. Ram still heats up a little, but only slightly above room temp and I can hold it all day without...

    Infra Red for putting plants to sleep?

    Ya, I am running 90cri 2700k cree cobs, that may be the reason I am not seeing anything noticable.

    Mammoth P

    I paid $80 for the small bottle, grew out 9 plants and going to harvest some today. I didn't even use 1/4 of the bottle so it should last me 4 grows. I used it 1/2 strength last 2 weeks of veg and full strength all through flower. Compared to all the bottles of roots organic nutes I bought...

    Lumens, Par, Watts, and etc. aside which light performs best?

    whichever one fits your room and budget best. A good quality light of any type will grow great plants. Today's best light, I would say it is a close toss up between Cob Leds and CMH with quantum boards maybe about to knock Cobs off the led throne. Led side has a much higher start up cost but...

    Infra Red for putting plants to sleep?

    I wonder why most of the people that talk about using far red state to only use it at the end of the light schedule and say to not run them all day long as it is counter to what the main lights are doing. I don't want to put my plants to sleep as soon as the main lights come on, which is what...

    Infra Red for putting plants to sleep?

    After nearly a complete grow with using 730nm LEDs for 20 minutes a day (10 minutes before lights off/10 after) I can say I didn't notice a single thing. Flower times were not any shorter, plants didn't appear to go to sleep... I just don't see it. I have been trying pick peoples brains (like...

    20 Ton Rosin

    The biggest reason I see a need for the insulation is what was mentioned above. It heats the ram and the oil in the jack heats up and thins, causing it to leak a little out of the crank part. Just something to be aware of and watch out for with presses that have the jacks above the plates. I...

    Nothin but Rosin

    From my $617 20t press a few days ago. 14g of flower into 3.7g of rosin. IMO, the reason this thread probably isn't going anywhere is because rosin pics just don't have the 'awe' factor like nice buds shots.

    Hello! Newbie to the forum and growing.

    This last week is killing me, especially shelling out $ to my dispensary with harvest being so close. Should be chopping most of them some time next week. Trichs are about 50/50 clear/cloudy today with just a handful of amber, less than 1%. Veg tent, I jumped the gun by a week or 2 it seems as...

    20 Ton Rosin

    Yes, the whole cage heats up, as well as the ram. I wish there was a thermal barrier between the plates and the cage but it seems to still work fine, just more costly in electricity to run. I looked at my local auto parts store for that tape but could only find muffler repair tape, not the...

    20 Ton Rosin

    Got my plates today. I'm ready to squish, just have to wait a couple more weeks until my harvest is ready.

    20 Ton Rosin

    i can't stand PG. I make my own with only VG and flavorings using the same method above, double boil, but for 6 hours since it takes longer to infuse vg than it does pg. Anything over 50% pg becomes too runny and just flows out of the air holes on my tanks and really hurts my throat. On topic...

    Reminder: The US needs California; California does NOT need the US

    So, California does't really have a water problem. Cost of desal plant per 300,000 people = $100,000,000 for a 20 year old design/technology. It would take 140 of those to cover all of California's water needs today. Total cost would be around 14 billion, or in military terms, 7 stealth bombers...

    Reminder: The US needs California; California does NOT need the US

    As I look out my window at the Pacific Ocean while reading about the 2 biggest desalination plants recently built and using solar, wind, and tidal energy to help power them. LOL

    Hello! Newbie to the forum and growing.

    Thanks! I don't plan on smoking any of it... just making edibles with a magical butter machine and pressing it on my 20 ton press so I don't see much need for trimming anything beyond the big fan leaves. Am I wrong about that? I will do a 5 day dry @ 70% humidity then jar them up 1oz per 32oz...
