Plus when he kills it in the end he will have friends that want to " eat over tomorrow night too!"

BRAVO! Youve done great work with the training, the stature of that plant is phenomenal. How does it smell? I bet you're looking forward to smoking it! The only shame is that you can't preserve the genetics, hopefully in the future someone figures out a way of revenging autos.

Thank you it smells amazing I have kinda figured out the with autos less is more I LST 2 weeks into growth and really just tucked leaves on the plant the rest of the time taking off leaves only when I had to I'm using Gaia green 444 and 284 with rock dust in a living soil that I made. thank you so much .I also play 3 hours of classical music and 3 hours of 528 hz I think it makes a difference.

Mythbusters did an episode on playing music to plants, the end result was plausible, with heavy metal being the music the plants responded to most. Your plants wanna rock! I think it has to do with vibrations in the air more than anything, most likely the more bass and volume the better, I thought it was interesting. Nice looking plant btw.

Thank you yea I think your right about the vibrations of the music. I think I'm going to try to play them a little led Zeppelin for a while I haven't been growing long but Now I'm consumed with trying to grow the nicest plants I can. my first harvest was a disaster I cut her to soon and had a hard time with drying and curing .it seems to me that's where I'm having issues.its hard to get the dry tent to 60/60 consistently but I just bought a system that should let me control it a whole lot better . Because I think that's the hardest part of growing drying and curing in my case anyway.have a great week best wishes.

You could check out the thermoelectric curing and drying machine, there’s a link in my signature, lots of people here are using it with great results.

I just
Hook daddy I see what you mean my wife has a wine chiller it has a temperature gauge but no humidity gauge I'm getting my Milwaukee cordless and a drill bit I don't think my wife will mind. Well I hope not thank you this could be a game changer.i found a video can to convert one .thanks hook daddy .
Check out the thread on building a Koolatron and if you have the money and an extreme environment I highly recommend a Freeze Dryer. I live in the Mojave Desert so environment is a challenge and for the money my home built Koolatron was great. Problem was I needed 14 days per plant. That was solved by the FD which requires about 2 days per plant and I simply chop and load into my freezer and fill the FD for processing as I empty. It's a fool proof way to dry for me anyway. So I built a second Koolatron to house all my harvested weed. So I can now store it at optimal temp/humidity. Anyway those are what finally solved my drying issues.

I really had no idea you could use these different methods and tools I will look in to the freeze dryer if there's a way for me to get it right every time I will pull the trigger on any equipment.if my wife allows it. It took a while but she's on board now with me growing our own Medicine. Thank you for all the help I couldn't do it without you guys . This website has helped me through all stages of growth and harvest.

Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY
I had read about these for a while before trying, this is not by any means a new idea nor did I come up with the idea. I was tired of over drying and drying too quickly in the winter, then freaking out about mold in the summer. A google search will give lots of other ideas, but I get a lot of...

You maybe fine with that. Although the pressings from my live path have been amazing. I love RIU too. It's my major source of community and I've developed some very close friends here. We are a great bunch even when we are snippy

How's the flower smoke straight out the freeze dryer? I've heard all kinds of reviews about them and I'd love to get your opinion, they're quite rare here in the uk not many places sell them
It's fabulous. It looks and smells just like it was when it was alive and the flavor is fabulous. I love it. I was looking at a Strata Vac (digital bleed valve) to reduce pull off of terpenes but I found no loss of smell/taste even under 100 mTorr. @shnkrmn has one too.
I'll never go back. I love this thing.

See, that’s why I never directly asked, I knew if you were still using it, it worked great. Now I have to find a way to dismiss all the reasons not to buy one.
