    Thumbnail images loading really slowly

    The larger issue here is users uploading pictures directly from their phones, etc. with no consideration of size. A 5 MB or larger image is not going to look any better on a screen that something in the less than 1 MB range @ 1000 to 1200 pixels wide.. Not everyone has blazing fast internet...

    Confused which method to go by

    I slowly dried it back down to 58% and once vacuumed in the jars it stays that way for as long as you want. Cheers

    Confused which method to go by

    Don't know about grove bags but.... I prefer to dry down to 58% and store in vacuum packed mason jars, good for years !

    Confused which method to go by

    IMO the bud density varies too much to rely on a moisture meter reading of a branch, a hygrometer in a jar or bag after taking the buds off the branches and storing them works much better. Or just a few buds worth in a jar as a test of when to buck the buds off the branches. The hygrometer I...

    Whatever happened to Promix?

    I've been using ProMix HP for years :weed: -it contains no nutrients so you have Total control over the feed -flushes easily if you need to "reset" -is ph buffered, no need to adjust water in -relatively inexpensive, I figure a 5 gallon pail/bag is ~$5 5 gallon pail, GroBuckets, 600w...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Thanks ! I did quite a bit of "reading" before trying the SIP's and never heard that.... Not sure if I want to transplant into a saturated medium. And my medium is quite dry before I top water again, no problems. BTW > I tried three plants with SIP solo's, didn't seem work that well but...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    My experience has been the exact opposite, at least with ProMix HP. I filled my reservoir 24 hours before transplant @ day 20 (?) and noticed the bottom of the prepared hole was barely moist. About two weeks later my plants were starting to lean. The top 3 - 4" of the medium were dry. I...

    When is drying done ?

    You use the hygrometer through the second stage of the dry/cure. For the first stage of my dry I hang the branches in the dark at close to 60 temp/60% humidity as I can get it.... In about a week you could use your meter on either the branches or the buds. Different numbers for each and you...

    When is drying done ?

    Depends on the density of the buds, a hygrometer is much more accurate... Cheers

    When is drying done ?

    I hang the branches until the outside feels a bit crispy ;) Takes about a week, bending the stems never worked for me. I buck the buds into a tote and leave it for 24 hours with a hygrometer inside. (They are about $20 for 5 on Amazon). If it is below 70% I "burp" the tote twice a day...
