Come to think of it, you don't really need to make it light proof, loads of PCs have lighting inside them, see what i mean!

(and if you could give those scales a little click it would be much appreciated:))

I've heard this too, and yes, there is indeed some science behind it. Check out the diagram, that big blue thing in the middle is called the vacuole. It basically acts as the cells own water reservoir. This is important to keep water on hand for cell processes, but also to keep the cell turgid...

No worries, glad to be able to help!:) and i know was you mean on the weed topic, not quite something you can get into a discussion with your professors with!

Haven't done it personally but see no reason why is shouldn't work, try half and see what happens

Ok, bit more detail on the movement of chlorophyll out of the thylakoid membrane. Basically what this diagram is saying is that the chlorophyll must first be removed from the thylakoid membrane to complete stage 1 degradation in the stroma then be transported out and into the vacuole for stage...

My apologies, any bit in particular?

ah shit, was going to go into the whole transport pathway bit but am late for meeting some friends so i'll have to make it quick, basically when chlorophyll is broken down naturally in the cell it is transported out of the chloroplast by atp mediated active transport, ie it takes energy. It is...

The image attached is from a paper few years back, it gives a good over view of what's going on. The key steps for the solubility of the molecule are as follows: (1) The cleavage of the long aliphatic group to form chlorophyllide. By removing this large hydrophobic group you increase solubility...

Lol! I like this evil supervillan idea! Apologies for the turbo science, am doing a PhD in biochemistry so it all sort of comes out when i get baked! You're definitely right on the impurities front though shepj, especially things like any fertilizers not removed by flushing

so so true:)

I smoke because i don't like hangovers:blsmoke: Also i finds its great for sports injuries, normal painkillers just knock out the pain so you don't notice as you do more damage, with weed you can feel when it hurts, but you just don't mind so much:bigjoint:

I'm really sorry but i'm going to have to correct you there shepj, chlorophyll is an extremely hydrophobic membrane bound molecule and therefore is completely insoluble. By water curing you allow the reductive degredatation of the membranes surounding intracellular organelles. This releases...

Depends on your ventilation situation. Lots of smoke is bad for plants as the tar can clog the stomata (little holes on the underside of the leaves which allow gas exchange) in the same way it clogs your lungs. Less air means less growth, so not so good. Also although the bud in your joint...

Hey man, awesome grow box, may have to give that a go myself! On the topic of ventilation, have you checked the direction of your fans? As ideally you want the bottom front fan as the intake and the top back one as the exhaust, that way you draw cool air in over your plant and blow it out once...

no worries, am certainly with you on that one!

Hey, water curing is when you soak your bud in water before drying it out. The idea is to "wash away" some of the plant matter leaving a 'purer' bud. You lose a bit of mass but also a lot of the odour and taste making it good for stealth smoking, i suppose it depends what you like more info...

Indeed! Talking of which, can you take cuttings from plants in flower? Or do i have to start from seed again?

and shall whack one of the smaller buds off tonight for tomorrow, shall let you know how it goes! Cheers you guys! +rep!

That's ok then, am quite a fan of the whole hyper buzzy style stone, shall make friday harvest day in that case:bigjoint:
