If I renew my contract for the 1gb one, I would pay 15 dollars a month. All apartment buildings have fiber here.

I pay 10$ right now, but have the phone line included with 100mb speed.

wow, you get 100 times the speed for the same price as us, we get robbed over here, only big-brother, gets your kind of speed, fluxers

Re: she's almost done

Here Bud Washing I don't need to convince you myself, just read how many others did try it with more then positive results. Go through a few pages and see for yourself.

I never got to do it yet, but will do it for sure.

thanks daT, I will read that before harvest, then put that link in what I refer to as "my weak blog" not saying the share is weak, it's the "blog"

I just jam stuff in that page with no order or descriptions. People refer to journals as blogs in other forums, this one is a little different, but I like that we get both!

Re: she's almost done

nothing wrong drying that way at all mate ,i used to do it in early years just takes a little longer thats all.
now i just trim them to hangable branches take all leaves off and hang in dark with fan not directly blowing on them.
up to 2 weeks depending on RH and temps then into sealed jars for awhile opening every other day to vent air.

thank you, vet

This really should be a can of Bud

Fluxy Lady stumpupdate, I plan on standing in the middle for a pic just before she is pulled.

Years ago people said to pull the whole plant and dip the roots in boiling water before hanging upside down. The idea was to force the resins in the sap out into the buds.

Eventually it was found that there isn't any resin in the sap - it's already in the buds - so all the boiling water accomplishes is to shock the plant into closing all it's stomata. Therefore it dries slower and more evenly. Hanging doesn't get more resin into the buds either, but it does leave them looking their best. (Paraphrased from the book Ricorico recently posted):

Marijuana Botany - An Advanced Study - Propagation and Breeding of Cannabis

And here's what I posted in the bud washing thread daT linked to, about whether washing loses trichomes:

Being an early convert, I wondered how this thread got to 25 pages. Washing makes sense, it works, improves the end product in a number of ways, and any negatives are insignificant. What else is there to say?

I got over most of my worries when I remembered the plants survive wind and rain all the time, getting thoroughly soaked and jostled - and even seem to enjoy their showers. After washing I hung the branches outdoors - in 4 or 5 hours they were as dry as if freshly cut and were moved into a closet.

I used lemon/baking soda then warm then cool The first time, I wondered about lost trichomes, so I settled/ strained/ evaporated/ filtered/ rinsed/ dried the residue from all three buckets, which took several days. Then I picked out all the junk I could with sharp tweezers. I ended up with a tan/gray grainy powder that sparkled in the light. Through a loupe I decided it was 1/3 trichomes, 1/3 clay, and 1/3 sand. I tried a hit, and it tasted like dirt - but good clean dirt - and was moderately potent. So yes, some trichomes are lost.

But - what I washed was 3 or 4 oz after dry and trim, and the residue I ended up with was 1/8tsp - two hits - way under 1%, imo. I won't be doing that again!

It does 'fluff up' the buds, which I like. I'd say the washed buds look more 'alive', because next to them, unwashed buds look more dead.

Flavor, aroma, smoothness, smokeability, and appearance all enhanced with no noticeable loss of potency.....it's about as close to a no-brainer as you can get!

Thank you Doc Bud, Hiker, Curso, Icemud, and all the rest!

Re: she's almost done

I asked Rado about his bud wash, I must have asked him in the wrong manner, I never got it figured out or I missed his response. I'm afraid the practice might knock off trichomes or at least smash them, I don't like that idea. But I'll listen & could change my mind if you will convince me it does not diminish the THC content. That would be a good discussion for us all, to argue about.

I was going too answer "I was talking to slowgro and he says..." but then he answered here.
I typed a response on the train weedsday our Freyasday but I hit a dead cell phone area next to Walden Pond and it didn't post.
Sorry to disappoint Sir Tricks, I'm a newbie grower and smoker. I bought my first waterpipe in June

Re: she's almost done

HELLO!!??!! , . . .

Does anybody practice the technique of upside down with roots, when drying, anymore?

Sorry late in chiming in on this subject.

I did the boiling water method last grow. Wish I could remember who suggested it but it was mentioned in my AG journal.

Basically, when your ready simply pour boiling hot water in the res or soil. I drained my res and poured the hot water right in. Let her sit for 3-5 days. Then trim and further cure as normal.

What do I know...lol. It seemed to work.

The suggestion was that you didn't even have to flush since the boiling water killed the roots right away. The 3-5 days is also the beginning of the cure process so all you have to do is further dry.

If you have a big harvest I wouldn't commit the whole thing to it but would be worth a try.

Just my four cents (got a raise...lol)

Re: Watch This Flux - 1st 420 Outdoor Fluxing - Presents Fluxy Lady - Fully Restraine

One last comment on washing - from the same book:

"Inverted drying does cause the leaves to hang next to the floral clusters as they dry, and the resins are protected from rubbing off during handling."

This effect is more so with washing, and some people complain that it's harder to trim off all the little sugar leaf. I've never felt the need to trim them - they're covered with trichomes. If I want, I can separate some sweetleaf for a joint after it's cured, or have a bowl of pure bud. But I really can't tell the difference if I smoke bud and sweetleaf together, and it burns easier. I'm glad to think it's acting as protection, and honestly, I just prefer the way they look. Might not fly in the Nug-o-the-Mo contest, but it sure saves a lot of work!

All true, you just forgot to put in 1970 after June. I think you could be "joshin" me. I'm not buyin' it. But I will go with it, for now.

thank you Radi-cal, how's the hammock you hung over that wasp nest, I'm glad you are not allergic, my dad would have had to have gone to the hospital, if he got stung 7 times like did on your first test of that awesome hammock. let's puff

Fluxy Lady today, she's almost done, could be chopped this month. Buds as thick as my fist on some colas.

Good grief. Beautiful! How'd you like flux'g? You definitely got the grow on.

Yeah, I told LA I'd give it a try. I'm fluxing a BB, but it's very slow. I love the idea of it. Almost landscape architecture.
I hope mine ends up as good as yours!

That photo is somehow, to an Englishman who's never been there, so California. The green, the blue, the light, the shadow....Like an early David Hockney West Coast painting.

Might just be a snap to you, tichomes, but to me it's Coolsville, USA.

I smoked marijuana from '79 up about '86. I then did not smoke cannabis until about 2011.
I smoke only on weekends, our days off work. I'm truly a newbie lightweight.

Put up a $10 fabric beach hammock next to the other one today. Only 7 feet long and shoulder width.
I had thrown the three logs near where I had seen bees emerge into the brook on Wednesday or Thursday.
The bees nest was not in those logs . That would have been easy.

Their hole was in the ground. My wife suggested kerosene. Still thinking about it.

Good evening weed tric. fluxy is looking good. When they get to this stage they are such fluzzies, showing off and not finishing. It's hard not to stare. Getting close Happy Shatterday

Sounds like yellowjackets. Whatever you do to them, do it at night, so they're all in the nest. A good shot of Raid into the hole and a rock over it will do it. Not sure about kerosene. Don't have any non-toxic ideas
