The group I got it from have all grown it out and it's pretty open group with everyone sharing cuts and thing I think the one person acquired it along with hlvd testing with it before putting it out to the group and a test was run in the Uk also that produced negative ... I've read it's slow veggie but it's that slow I'm assuming something is wrong

Burn the room down and start again if anything got passed on ... happy to reset my garden but if I passed it on I wouldn't be so happy ... the Dante's inferno I got from the same group are flying tho .... wish I got a full room of them rather than the Mac

This is why I prefer seeds mind you there not entirely immune either viroids can pass through seed too it's just less likely aye your right ud have to if u got it god forbid
 
For my own purposes i want to note the costs, since the price electricity increase in 2022 I've been making cut backs here and there and even changed my overall method, for this crop @54 days it's £135 @25p kwh I didn't plug the meter in for 4/5 days so it would work out around £145 start to finish (58 days)
That includes my clone tent (100w @24hrs)

I harvested the last of my plants earlier some of them turned out well and some less so but overall I'm happy with my harvest, I've made a lot of changes recently so I kept a note of the cost for up to 600w @25p kwh £177 including my clone tent t5s circa £40 for the duration of flowering + £20/25 to veg them t5s seed to sexed.

I've not been growing them with weight in mind but I know from previous crops 1kg+ isn't difficult with the same settings, still it'll be interesting to see what I get for my efforts from this crop.

The best I've got from the old days is 40oz that I worked out to £10 a oz to grow that suggests £400, tbh it seems like a bit much of a saving so I'd need to look back at pence per kwh, flowering duration, vegging time and the wattage I used?
Lol that's the best I've got ;)

There's a picture forming now and I'm pleased about how much I've cut back in work and costs and I'm still getting results I'm happy enough with plus I'm enjoying my project in general...it's a blinding result :bigjoint:

Tiki Dante’s inferno ? Never grown it but have seen it in flower in real life and got to sample it fire mate
 
What do you guys think about hanging the whole plant to dry, does anyone do it?
Do you think it poses a greater threat of mould @60%/20c

Normally I cut the branches and hang them individually now I'm asking myself what difference does that make and I've no answers?

I've trouble with nerves in my back I could do with a easier method it's painful af having to bend/lean...jfc everything needs doing inside the tent...blah blah blah neighbours!

How do you guys go prepare plants to dry?

I normally cut off all the bigger leaves and leave the sugar smaller leaves then hang upside down in one piece , I have split plants up it all depends how much prep I put into it before actually chopping them down if I don't trim the big leaves off before harvest I'll do it in sections but if I do all the prep it's cut and hang in one

you could hang the plants whole and get a swivel chair to sit on and manicure the leaves off while there upside down you won't be bending over as much but looking up which might aggravate your neck

I think for mould to grow it has to be a certain enviroment and if you avoid that and dry at the right range you shouldn't have a problem

A trim bag ? I got one of those it depends on the plant count of one strain you've got .. I found that unless you got over an amount of bud it doesn't really trim it that good you've gta give it a once over with a trimmers ... I think the weight of the buds helps with the friction against the walls that trims it ... it does collect everything tho in a little pocket at the bottom
