    Does Anyone Know Where to Get C.Ruderalis Seeds in the U.S.?

    Hello All, So check this out... What we think is hydroton is actually ceramsite and it comes from China. When we think of hydroton what we are actually thinking of is "Haydite" which was invented in 1917. Then some time ago they stopped making haydite and the hydroton soucres ran dry...

    Thoughts on Diatomite

    Hello All, I am curious what y'all have to say about diatomite as a grow medium. I just stumbled on this and it seems promising. I especially like that it is made from diatamacous earth, so bugs won’t lay eggs on it, like they do with other media. I am hoping that by using the diatomite it...

    Do you need to dry buds if you are extracting oil?

    Hello All, I am curious, if I am going to make oil, do I need to dry the buds first? Could I just extract the oil and then let the oil sit and cure?
