While I applaud the ingenuity and creativity, what about smoking the paper?
I've been smoking a lot more joints recently, ie everyday when I hike out to the outdoor babies, I burn a J along the way. Sometimes two! lol Anyway... I've noticed my lungs getting much less happy with the smoking. I've attributed that to the paper mostly. I did buy a little vape a couple weeks ago. I've been using that so much, that now bong hits even taste and feel harsh.
"they" are tearing your basement apart? What are you doing down there? I hope the work you're doing is going to result in more flowering space, but of course I'm always dreaming of more flowering space.
Your outdoor ladies look amazing. Your indoor ladies look fantastic too, but they always do!
My outdoor plants are maybe 1/3 - 1/4 the size of yours! When did you put them outside and how big were they?
Mine went out late (June 10-15ish?). They were my "duplicate" mothers, and were about 10-12" tall when I took them outside.
I think you're doing much better with your first outdoor experiment.
