can you put pics in a private message?
Looks like a very nice,e array of colours in that big ol pile of shrubs :) yummy! What's the crack on the large box and bag of weed by the looks of it? Is that your method of drying or?

Just had a random thought our human rights. Article 8 of the human rights act is a right to a private life within your home. As i say, i don't know to what extent this is relevant, but surely any heat signature of your house that is used for part of a warrant, surely that in itself is a violation of your rights, as they ahve been snooping on your home with cameraes to work out what is going on inside? Might have to read into this.

On a side note, i don't really know what i'm doing!

nice pics sam and also a nice plat TTT.

checked on the critical+ lastnight and it has germed in the tissue, so i left it until this morning before i went to work, i put the germed seed in the aerosystem. lets hope it works this time.

the back up green-o-matic is getting put in 24 hour darkness on wednesday and getting chopped on thursday, dried for 2 weeks then splitting the dried stuff with my mate who looked after it for me, hes smoking his after hes got it but im gonna cure mine for a week so its ready friday 29th of next month, better know as PAYDAY!!! so il have a nice weekend to smoke the good shit.

My pay day is whenever the owner remembers, he's gonna get an earul before too long though, 2 weeks just worked, both different hours yet both came in at £200 on the dot after "tax and insurance". Baiscally he's a lying stealing greedy little c*nt, however come end of the tax year and i don't get a P60 (think that's the one) and a tax return, he's gonna find himself in court under some rather serious charges :lol:

Hi all
I started drying some bud last night and the cab im drying in worked great last time but the weathers real wet and crappy outside this time' and is not gonna get better by the looks. Im reading 60% RH I'v the usual fan in and venting out smelly air out the window so cant close it fully.

Am I at serious risk of mold if it stays 60% ish????? Any ideas what do about reducing RH WITHOUT a dehumidifier (Im skint lol)
two ways around it if your strapped for cash, you can either

keep all the windows closed, if there open why the weather is like it is your inviting unwated humidity into the room. so keeping the windows closed is a must. like cafe said put a radiator on in the room for a couple of hours each day, BUT dont leave it on for to long tho because you'll start getting condensation and as you said yourself mould problems.


the other way around it is, buy a couple of desicant pack, usualy get packs of 3 for around £15-20 and all it is is a bag filled full of tiny crystals or gel you, open one and leave it in the room, go back in the room a week later throw the old one away and put a new one in its place. they suck up moisture and can hold 150% more than they wiegh.

Yeah, he appears to be cooking the whole bookcase. I started a couple months back and already two have resigned over lack of pay, the new chef did one day for him and quit and the manager handed in her resignation on monday. Courtesy of a broken bone in the shower for another employyee, i'm now the only member of staff they employ for over 3 locations. None of it really annoys me, it rather entertains me to watch soneone being so stupid, and thinking they're getting away with it the whole time :lol:

the green-o-matic is going into darkness next wednesday, then getting chopped on thursday.

i checked my critcal+ seed last night and its popped out of its shell, so i left it there lastnight and put it in the aerosystem this morning.

i heard the other day that giving your plant pure honey in its final 2 weeks is good for it, (2 tables spoons of pure honey into a liter of hot water, mix it up let it go cold and use that with your flush) it gives the plants an energy boost and gets the last bit of goodness out of them before they start coming to the end of thier season, iv the g-o-m some honey water on sunday night, and giving it another one tomorrow.

do you think 24 or 48 hours of darkness before i give her the chop?

well on monday the leaves were looking cocky, all flat, spread out and seemed to be standing up lol. il let you know what happens when i give it another watering.

24 hours it is then.

i need to get a brown paper bag from somewere (you never seem to find them or get given them in shops anymore) for when i come to cure it, gonna put the bud in the paper bag then put the bag in to a air tight glass jar with a cotton wool ball and a slice of lemon skin then leave it in a cupboard i dont use for a week. might lass a couple of skins in with the bud aswell.

Looking stonking there petey :) you do good work.

Brock, i had 2 identical plants from the same mum in the same DWC bucket last grow, i had often debated the rumour so figured i'd test it. One got 48hours of dark the other none, there was not a discernible difference between the two, so much so that the labels rubbed off the glass jars and i coldn't work out which had been which :)

And the one thing about my working life i know is that noone will drag me into a kitchen to work, i've stamina and whatnot, but not in a 100% humidity boiling steam bath! Chefs are bloody nutters, asbestos hands and everything.

Due to their leniency in previous cases, it is now pretty darn hard to have much more than a fine and possibly community service for personal plants at home. Harry potter actor was caught with baggied up weed in his car, a knife under teh seat and 14 plants at home, he got a few hundred quid fine and a hundred odd hours. Pretty hard to be legally convicted for less than that with a punishment higher than that.
