Oh man JJ I've missed too much while I was away.I almost shat when I saw that elephant's foot! In speaking of which I just got some Duck's Foot clones, ever heard of it? Apparently it's a big thing up north for outdoor growers.
Those drying racks look great, I may try those out one day, I have never personally cured in turkey bags but I know a few people that do. I tried it for a week but I wasn't happy with the results, I probably should have waited longer. I'm not fortunate enough to have a big full basement (extremely jealous) but I am fortunate enough to have a very small basement I was able to build a 4x8 grow room in, and I feel like hot shit. Nobody has a basement in so cal; nobody!
