i went with natural charcoal because it's cheaper. i don't have a thousand dollars lying around to invest in state of the art gear. i know about activated charcoal. you can get it at any pet store or online, but it isn't cheap. neither are the kinds of fans you can use with a variable speed controller.
as to stinking, like i said, i'll cut a stinker down ON PRINCIPLE. i DESPISE indicas with a passion. they ruined getting high forever and are a life enemy. i wish they'd just disappear off the face of the earth. it wouldn't break my heart either if they took all the greedy bastards that not only bribed the political system to keep weed illegal, but the greedy bastards that refuse to grow anything BUT indicas all the while taking thousands of my dollars and wasting over 2 decades of my life without ever getting me high once. you just don't know how much i loathe indicas for killing columbian gold more or less. they offend me to my core. it doesn't stop me from recommending them to people who need them or that prefer them, but on a personal level, if i could snap my fingers and make couchlock disappear forever, i'd do it. only THEN would greedy bastards be FORCED to grow gear that gets people high again. you know, a lot of people never have gotten high once and don't even believe it exists. that is an unbearable injustice i rail against until the greedy bastards start railing against me in forums like the sneaky little trolls they are.
did i mention i despise ANYTHING related to indicas?
LOL
if i had my way, i'd own my own property and stealth grow IBLs like thai. there's ANOTHER reason i hate indicas... they're slowly forcing IBL after IBL into extinction. now that afropips has passed sadly, i don't know of any place you can get LEGIT malawi gold. i DO know that seedsman's version is Bs schwag though and that i don't trust most breeders that do allegedly sell IBLs like VISC and their $60 ripoff of absolutely USELESS burmese.
if i had good gear that gets people high, i'd GIVE IT AWAY in hopes people wake up & realize that their dealers are ripping them off with inferior shit. i want to break that entire greedy system soooooooooooooo much!
