I'm not sure how deep mint roots grow but do know that they grow like weeds. Mint can pretty easily outgrow pot if planted at the same time but if you planted it once the pot was already established and cut it back frequently then it might work. I wonder if you could layer a pot - get your pot plant nice and established and then place a piece of felt or something over the top of the soil, add a little more soil on top of that and plant the mint in the top layer. Might be able to separate the roots this way.
Didn't think about that, that'd be a pretty cool thing to try! If I ever decide to use bigger pots I might do that!

Psychild y don't you just grow em right outside where your growing?it would probably help mask them more.
Honestly I'm not real worried about the smell, it was just an idea Lol. I'm going to be throwing in some small tomato plants in my closet off in the corner somewhere and have just been thinking about all the other things I can throw off to the side.

Awesome! Glad to have you along. This is the second go around so if you read the whole thread you can see how they came out the first time. Love the strain - going to keep it going for a good while I'm feeling. Have a link to your thread so I can follow along?

So my buddy gets some shit from cali and apparently he got an o of meno purps and there was a seed in it, would you risk growing it or is it herm for sure or is there a chance it will be a good female?

I would put money on the seed being a result of some form of herming either natural or stress induced. If there is only one I personally would grow it. Chances are it's feminized which means you have a greater chance of getting a few nuts but nothing unmanageable, and who knows it might not show nuts at all. And it's a free seed so in the end if you scrap the plant no real loss. Was the Mendo Purps good?

Supposedly it was amazing, the seed is huge so I'm guessing very large calyxs the bud was like 5 inches long and super weighty and dense and purple as fuck. Could be some purple schwag but only time will tell, I also got a strain called lemon drop. But I'm in the same boat with it as well being a seed out of a random bag. I have plenty of time n room to germinate now and just be 2 weeks behind what I have goin now.

Going into business for myself - Who needs a cool tube?



Hehe, just kidding. Sprayed my plants today with Azamax and decided to be productive while I waited for them to dry with the main light out. Switched to my HPS and modified my DIY cool tube so that I could strap my carbon filter to the other side. In the future I can also veg with the bottom half exposed and draw from the top which should help.

I strapped a piece of 6" ducting to the top, cut a notch for the cord, added a tiny reflector I had sitting around for shits and giggles and then strung it up.

My next project is a kiefer for my trim. If it works on a tiny scale I'll beef it up.

What, that bitch is gangsta, how did you make it?
Hehe, seems to be working well but very tedious - lots of small batches. That's a home made rock tumbler and the base to a weird martini glass with a jar top attached to it. A bit of sowing filter material together and wallah.

Looks pretty cool...I just harvested my first plant, after my next couple of harvests (should be in another 2-3 weeks) I'll have to decide what I want to do with my trimmings. I really wish I had the money for some bubble bags, but I'm pretty sure I'll just end up making some butter :)

Dry Ice kief extraction. You can do this on a much smaller scale without the bubble bags with equally great results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1buSgDNfGFQ

What do you use to filter the material when not using the bubble bags? Great method.
I've seen people use Coffee filters....it worked, but wasn't something I'd be willing to waste my shake on. Maybe once I get a few harvests under my belt, and a couple bags in the freezer. Check this out Gastanker. Not to sure how well it'll work, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

Might work. I'm using pretty fine silk screening material and it still leaves in a bit of the nasty stuff. A double pass and I end up with this which is fairly clean.
