I've tried several different ways to harvest and this is what works best for me. I chop the whole plant at the root ball. Hang the whole plant inside my back lanai (completely closed in and secure). After about 10 days I start removing the smaller stuff and trimming it. I just work my way through the whole plant one branch at a time over a few day period. As soon as the bud is trimmed it is ready. I think a slow dry is better than a long cure.

So you don't cure in jars or paper bags? Just hang for a long time. What about sunlight I read all these things about degrading thc. I never knew growing was so complicated :-) still learning a lot.

Lmao, it's not complicated at all. I think people over complicate it. Mine doesn't degrade. Its some of the strongest out there. I'm not familiar with those nutes. Is it chemical or organic?

I like Dyna's style of drying. I think the stuff I leave untrimmed and hanging the longest, has the best smell and usually the most sticky. Plus, I'm lazy and opening 15 different jars everyday is annoying.

Hmm I hope it's organic that's what the guy at the store said :-) it does say it on the bottle and something about Dr greenhorn approved or some name like that. I like it I've used it from the beginning and you just up the dose with a gl of water each week. It was simple for me. I don't particularly like the smell but my dogs do. I learned the hard way when they destroyed a few pots with seedlings. :-\

Happy to report I get to finally try some bodhi and Gage Green gear.

GGG - Cherry puff (cherry pie x joseph OG)
Bodhi - Greedo's Stash (Socal Master Kush x Snow Lotus)
Lotus Larry (Larry OG x Snow Lotus)

I'm a big fan of that kushy funk flavor if you cant tell.

My compost pile lookin nice and broken down, super soil is ready, upgraded the pump for my compost tea, and finally figured out what the fuck was going on in my veg. tent that was making all my plants sad.

It was a compound problem of high temps because of a loose connection on my ducting circulating the hot air back into my tent, these shitty pots I got at wallyworld that I had to poke a bunch of extra holes around the bottom because they werent adequate enough and then I put that plastic "eggcrate" shit for lighting on the floor of my tent so there would be more airflow underneath everything. And then there were those pesky Little Fire Ants all up in my shit looking for water to drink.

Got my temps back down and hit everyone with some compost tea to get those microbes back to work and everyones happy again.

Looks like we are in for a thunderstorm tonight on the east side, glad I dont have any girls outside in full flower right now.

So I've been examining my plant and noticed on one stalk there were these tiny whitish silverish little bugs that I had to flick off. Probably thrips or wwhite flies. Since she's in her 8 wks should I just snip off the one stalk? I heard neem oil right now would leave weird taste. Any advice?

Rubbing alcohol and qtips work pretty good for getting rid of the stuff white flies leave behind, learned that one from an Akamai guy :-) If they cause any PM I use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with neem, soap, and aloe. If that don't work I bust out the Mildew Cure bottle, that always solves my PM issues.

Hey anyone have experience with EZ clone, turbo Klone? Looking for some tips must do and don't do's. humidity dome or not and a time regimen for pump/sprayers.. I have an idea of what other people are doing in the mainland but I'm interested in some tropical opinions. Mahalos

I use an aero cloner. I run mine 24/7 with clonex/water. No humidity dome. Ph @ 5.5 and I change the water once a week. I do mist foliage a few times a day for the first few days using the recommended dosage of clonex. I also use some super thrive once in a while. Ive been getting 100% success rates since I switched to aero cloners... I get nice roots in about 10 days on average fastest been 7 days for me...

I use unph'd tap water (7.3 normally) and a couple drops of superthrive in mine. 24/7 lights with 15minutes on/15off timer on the sprayer. Start to see root nubs in 4 -5 days, ready for transplant 7-10

My uncle that used to grow on his chicken farm said that back in the day, dey used to put cigarette butts in water in a one gallon soda bottle, let em sit for a week, and removed only the shit that floated to the top and sprayed that on their plants. He said it worked great on taro plants and banana trees for keeping the little critters away, thripes, flies and everything else. Wonder if it would work on pakalolo. NAh, fuck dat, i don't need all those chemicals on my babies. Shoots braddahs, alojahz
