The UK Growers Thread!

Some of the old schoolers are keen on keeping weed when dried and cured in the fridge. Not sure what difference that would have. And freezing should also be possible (I kept stuff in the freezer in the UK). But I think after several months there are certain things that get lost. Actually if you read the medible thread that Don posted somewhere, the OP in that goes on about decarbing and how this is a continual process with weed. i.e even after its dried and cured the plant will still continue to break down. So I think unless you extract, make hash or something, then the product in its grass state will loose something over time.

yeah still got me stoned but like ya say lost smell n flavour, thats what i thought cure then freeze to preserve its just me dad dont smoke n thinks hes got the best of the bes cause some has been curing 9mnths lmao i told him 6month is ya max n even then i thought it was best to do a 8-12wk cure? but i never cure lol just a 7day dry n gone so dont no all that much bout curing.

it' personal preference I reckon and something the shermans will argue over til their blue in the physog but i reckon you couldn't tell the difference in a blind smoke test between say 2 months cure and 6 month. the objective of breaking down the chlorophyll is done long before 3 month.

spot on, you should all check that thread, her medibles almost made me cream me kecks. she's fit as too. she uses lecithin (sp) to help break down the thc into a form more easily absorbed into the bloodstream).

I had a Dutch guy last night tell me my 3 1/2 week cured weed was "een beetje jong" which means a little bit young (or fresh and uncured in English).....This was after he spent about 5 minuts walking around with the nug in his hand explaining how amazing it smelt and wow this, and wow that...drunken bafoon.

I think it's best at around 4 weeks. (ie the younger stuff is better) As for my actual sense of smell, it's pretty crap to be fair. I think the main thing is trying to recognise smells, instead of saying, smells like Fruit Loops, lmfao.

Bottom leaves will tend to yellow later in the flower period. No biggie really.

If you are on cfl's, perhaps get some 2700k's in there as well. Cool white light these days is around 4000-4100k if shop bought. For flowering you are better with the 2700k range.

I just finished 2 of them m8, 1 taller pheno gave me 2 oz nice tight bud, the othe was smaller & rather leafy ! Not a bad smoke, not much of a flavour though !

Them wilma systems work best IMO with clones m8, at the start I was doin a few diff seeds in them and it can be hectic all growin at diff size and pace. I done the blue widow in mine, two in a the 4 pot and scrogg them, they seemed to love the wilma system m8. I surprised myself when I pulled 16 o from them but there wer quite a few seeds cos the bastards hermied on me
