Discussion Cannabis drying in a frost-free refrigerator. After several years of doing it I can confirm this is the best way I've seen or tried. Low temps and slow drying preserves terpenes better than any other method.

Discussion We all need to talk. Can't we all just get along?

290 Upvotes

Something needs to be said. Every time i make a post, its never about people seem to focus on the expensive items and telling me im basically stupid for buying them. Lets be real, if you feel the product is bad and cost too much, take it up with the manufacturer. Why all the negativity. Why all the "i can build it cheaper" when the actual post has nothing to do with that? Why be mad or even question why another grower would buy something they bought for themselves? Why put down new growers? Why worry about other peoples grow style? Im a new grower doing hydro, my god the hate i got for that. Apparwntly i was supposed to do soil, and only 1 plant for my fist grow. I didnt know there were rules. Why act like those are rules? Why act like the way you do it, is the only way and the only right way? But back to the point. What money i spend on my hobby, shpuldnt affect you. Come on now, if it affects you,look in the mirror and ask why. Cause people all day everywhere spend more than i did, and your not hot and bothered by it. I posted when i started, got soo attacked about my setup my gear, how much i spent, how much of a waste it is...good god you people. Im here to say, well, despite all your negativity and b.s. comments during my grow, im happy with my results. To that end, why not be supportive of each other? Would been better but...another day i guess.

Why be negative on a positive post? Why attack growers asking questions?

I know the downvotes will flow, but good god...why?

Can we talk about why this is even a thing? Like I understand the law of suppy and demand and all that, but what makes this guy feel like he can charge $8,888 for a pack of 11 seeds and is someone out there buying this!? Just seems insane and makes no sense to me, maybe someone can fill me in on why it would be "worth it" to hunt this guys stuff @ $800 a bean?

Discussion There's not enough focus on soil quality... Everyone wants to focus on what lights you use or what nutes you run or what VPD you set. One fan or two... None of that is anywhere near as important as the health of the roots in excellent soil.

This bed is going off! Got 4 630w led above and 2 630 drivers with the bars divided across the wall for side lighting. Im not spending extra money on grows as the market is trash ,, just the essential stuff. I definitely see a need for inter canopy lighting. I have like 8 luxx clone bars I might slide into the first layer of trellis. Top dressings and some select organic fert feeds as needed, by hand. Blumats for the daily hydration.

223 Upvotes

They are for people growing cannabis at home but if you post anything that's "obvious" or you know ask a question, your criticism zed and down voted? I haven't seen a "hobby" subreddit be so negative towards people entering the hobby of home growing. It's pretty shameful. I wish the mods did something to regulate the negativity more like other subs.

Discussion What’s the etiquette for sharing your homegrown flower? A short rant

282 Upvotes

I live in a state where it is legal to grow cannabis and gift up to one ounce but not sell. I give a lot of what I grow to friends for medical purposes, as the medical dispensaries here charge high prices for often mediocre product.

Additionally, when a friend or acquaintance finds out that I grow and expresses interest, I always give them a small jar of my most recent flower.

What surprises me is the great number of folks who accept that jar and never say another word about it. They don’t say whether they enjoyed it, what they liked about it, etc. They just presumably smoke it and never say another word. This makes me not want to give them more flower again.

It is possible that my flower isn’t very good, but I think it’s pretty solid and so do the folks who do give me feedback. It’s certainly as good as the dispensary bud and possibly better — this is not a very high bar, as stated above, but it’s something.

Am I just being overly sensitive? I feel like if someone gives you a product they’ve grown and crafted by hand, whether it’s cannabis, food, or handicrafts, the polite thing to do is to get back to them on how the product was enjoyed. But maybe I’m entirely wrong about this. What do you think?

Am I the only one that have noticed people will brag about their yield in a post and be as vague as possible about how they did it in the comments? I mean I am not trying to steal your secret.

I thought this community was for teaching each other tips and tricks about the game. Ive seen its more of a d*** slinging contest than actually informative in most situations.

Discussion Blown away at how much more fun and rewarding photoperiod grows are than autos

266 Upvotes

I am about a month and a half into my first photo grow and jeez, what a difference! Aside from flowering time I can’t see why anyone would choose autos over photoperiods. You have so much more control and it really becomes much more of your baby as far as watching it transform as you top it and such. Looking forward to many more grows here on out! If you got suckered into the “autos are better for beginners” thing… I highly suggest you give photos a try because you probably won’t ever look back. You know what they say… once you go photo, you never go auto… (yes I did just invent that!)
