...youknow what? I'm not sure. Hmm... I always cure in room temp. I know some people store their weed in a fridge. I just know it will cure nicely in room temp, in a dark place.

Right, storing already curred weed in a cold place makes sense because my understanding is that cold retards the decomposition process, which is what you want.

But is curring in a cold place advised? I'd guess the curring room is between 50-60 F. Is this temp slowing my cure down to a crawl where the weed won't taste or smell good for 6 months? Anyone - please advise a determined newb!!!

what type of res were you lucky enough to find? I have also currently undergone the pc grow and I cannot find a res to fit my such limited space... any info you could toss my way would be much appreciated

Get creative, try Target, National Wholesale Liquidators, Walmart, etc...My res is a plastic shoebox with 2" holes drilled in the top and covered with aluminum tape for light proofing.

That's funny. I bought from them too, and my nutrients and bulb were NOT broken when it arrived. Maybe you just had bad luck. I thought their customer service was ok. I spoke to someone named Shannon over there for over an hour and they were very helpful with my inquires. I guess I had a totally different experience than you did.... Were you yelling at them or something when you called?! ahhahah

hey, i really admire your grow, i plan on starting a pc grow case soon. i would love it if you could walk me trough your time line a little, did you sprout them under lights? how long from sprout did you put them on the veg cycle? how long under the humidity dome, when did you start using nute's? and when did you switch from grow nutes, to bloom nutes? sorry to ask such extensive questions, this just seems like a perfect grow.

dude, that grow was a long time ago, I'm on to much bigger things now!!! The best piece of advice I can give about a pc grow is don't do it. They're way too small for the trouble. At least buy a small storge case, light proof it, attached a small fan and wallah!!! Believe me, if you buy a pre-made one, especially from HOMEGROWN HYDROPONICS, you're going to be dissapointed.

The problem you're going to run into is room, both for roots and vertical growth. Depending on the strain, you'll need to onset at about 4" and you'll need to water every day, maybe more! Measuring nutrients and ph in such small amounts is really a pain in the ass. Are you gonna use hydro or soil, either way it's watering every day because the container must be so small.

There's lots of stuff on here on how to build a simple grow box...look around more. I hope I discouraged the pc case

just realized you lived in CO, i do as well. so i will probably just build a grow box. but i have a hella tall PC. so idk. i have problems with people in my house as well so it has to be stealth. but i do realize what you mean. and i am going to grow in dirt because after reading your blog i realize it is hard to keep the ph rite as well as res temp. i will probably start with 3 plants and im guessing one will be male. (hopefully just one) so as far as nutrients what did you use? i still will probably keep the grow small, thank you for the advise

You're probably not going to need nutes until you start flowering, because you're going to have to flower at 3-4". Anything from General Hydroponics is good quality and cheeper then most

It's almost impossible to keep this under wraps if you have roommates,
