local weed growing discussions

I learned it was 60% RH and 60 F, close, but a little cooler and a little drier. It should take 10 days or so to "dry". Maybe two weeks. Depends how wet the plant was, bud density, etc.

Scotty Real on YouTube. He has all kinds of growing videos, so don't take my word for it. Watch and see what you think.

I'll never cure any other way as long as I have the room.

Whole plant, or as big a pieces as possible. Only remove the very largest leaves. Hang upside down. My basement corner grow closet stays right around 60 F and 60% RH with no lights.

I've cured in brown paper bags. Hey, it works.

I've tried wet trimming, drying, store in jars with and without Boveda packs. Burping. Did it this way for a long time.

Tried 58% and 62% Boveda packs.

After curing with the 60/60 specs, it yields the best results IMHO.

Been home growing indoors on and off since 1985. I'm no expert, but I found methods that work for me. I grow DWC these days. Started in soil.

Weird, been 100% legal in my state for a while. It's still strange talking openly about it.

Stranger than strange lol. We started messing around with halide grows in the 80s as well, nobody had seen anything like them. We shared the knowledge (for a slight percentage over time), and it spread like wildfire here lol.

Ah, good times, me and a buddy maintained a top secret 50 plant room in rock wool while I was in university, so it still seems weird to me to see people consuming in public.

Maybe in Canada but you’ll still be a felon in a state like Florida. Refer madness still exists in much of the world. One of the few good things Trudeau did was legalize pot. The Americans are not so fortunate, many still want to jail a pot smoker

On to this years grow, buying seeds, might try Acapulco Gold strain again from Barney’s Farm. I have cuttings going from last years crop, rockstar, green crack. The Bruce banner went to flower even with 16 hr of light, it’s a strange one, we’ll see if I can revert it back to veg

Thinking about starting some seeds inside under grow lights to be transferred outside later. Just a minor itch, as it were...

Some Sativas I've tried just never reached their potential here at 33.6638° N

We absolutely came in a month early with our outdoor crop by starting them early under a lamp.

I have a shitty nieghbour I have been fueding with for about 3 years and I pretty much know he grows male plants on his side of the fence just to screw up my crop. Anything I can do? ( I doubt it) I have one solution but I don't want to do time.

Move to an indoor grow operation, if possible?

Still using MH and HPS lights. I'm too cheap to replace them. Bulbs are cheap. Electricity, meh.

Not a possibility here, don't have the space.

Could you stake a few layers of burlap around your plants and hopefully mitigate the pollen? Or maybe buy the worst smelling rotting fish to use as fertilizer with a fan blowing their way.

do everyone in the neighbourhood a favour and cut/his crap down. or cull the males at least.
I know its trespassing but so is his pollen, will the cops understand if they are called?
Only idiots grow male plants outside.

The first year pot was legalized, the local farmer, Draper, grew fields of hemp in a lot of his soya bean and corn fields all over the area. It nailed my nice Skunk and Acapulco Golds, they were monsters. Pot was still really good but the PITA of seeds, just like the old days Well the farmer ended up getting busted, rumours were he was growing weed in with hemp. Do not think he even had a license to grow hemp. The years of the CBD cure all craze. Helicopters you name it. Another idiot

When all is said and done, Blackberry Kush, Tahiti Lime and Lemon Hashplant have been my favorite grows.
Carbon Butter is the best tasting and smelling weed I've grown by a long shot. The buzz is similar to the above strains.

 

[hjames]

I have been doing a puff or 2 here and there as time allowed, mostly from my last home grow a year or so back.
But I don't smoke in the house, and its been cold on the back porch lately.
So last night I remembered I had a tray of Butter made from buds I processed in the fridge - and I nibbled a thin slice like this before we had dinner (Afghan Kabobs and such).
took maybe an hour to realized the game was afoot! What a nice relaxed buzz as we watched Graham Norton and some other shows we DVR each week.

 

[hjames]

Since I have 2 trays of butter and some small mason jars of herb (plenty for just me!), I'm not growing herb this year either. But the plant lights are still in full use -
one of our neighbors gave me her tropical Hibiscus when she moved into Senior care. It lives outside when it can, but comes in before winter since it can't take the cold rain and snow of Northern Virginia. And last night while watching TV I spotted some color near the top and - its Blooming in winter!! In February! Yay MarsHydro lamp!
(I've got a Mars Hydro lamp half that size running 2 tomato plants in the Living room, and we're still getting tomatoes off it!). Fresh tomatoes in Feb
I've also got a pair of chinese quad-stalk grow lights as well, one in each room, but the timers are iffy on them and I hardly ever use them



Started from seeds! Early Girl Tomato plant on the left, heirloom Cherry Tomato plant on the right - still giving us fruit! Raffi's favorite spot!


Couple of the Heirloom cherry tomatoes


A pair of the Early Girl tomatoes


It's almost time to start germinating seeds for the next pair of tomato plants!

Legalized pot is coming to Hawaii in January 1, 2026.

I started smoking pot in Jr. High in Utah of all places. I've consumed it in every type or variations of it, since. Grew out of it over the years and it doesn't do anything for me.

Hawaii has strict smoking cigarettes on beaches, so it's super clean. I haven't seen a butt around in years or even people smoking. So when I smell cig smoke or pot, it's repulsive and stinks.

But, since stuff grows like crazy here, I'm interested.

You couldn't ask for better a better climate alongside Hawaii's volcanic soils. I'd grow some for the novelty of it and to make some mainlander howli's drool. (grin)

One I want to try is Willy Nelson. It has a long flowering time. don’t think it will work outside where I live. Would have to grow it inside. At one time we grew a maui strain, it got frosted out before it matured. I would love to have the Hawaii climate to work with nice to hear Hawaii getting on board.

Yup! Maui Wowie!
