    Need a new grinder

    I dropped my old grinder on the floor, dented it, and it no longer works. Any thing new, or any suggestions on a new handheld one?

    Does curing improve potency or flavor?

    Talking to an old grower I know, an old mentor of mine. He told me curing does little to improve potency. Potency is a byproduct of good genetics, mature trichomes, and good drying. Curing is only for improving flavor and smokeability. Thoughts?

    Grove bags, first time

    Not looking to be argumentative. But I held both in my hands. My Grove bags looked and felt exactly alike. To my eyes, they're identical. I'll probably still continue to use Groves simply because I can buy them in smaller amounts. Plus I like all their printed stuff on the bag. When I give...

    Grove bags, first time

    Just an FYI, and I didn't learn this until after I bought mine. You guys do know that Grove bags are just the product of clever, target marketing? Grove bags are nothing more than smell proof mylar food bags. Generic ones are available all over the Internet, for a fraction of the price. Just...

    I finally took the plunge and bought a microscope

    It didn't take me long to see the hand held microscopes weren't going to work for me. I bought a mid range entry level microscope. A game changer! LED lights from below and above. On 2x you fill the screen with trichromes, and can easily see clear, milky and amber. On 4x you can actually look...

    Just discovered she hermed

    Thanks buddies. Funny these pods never showed during any stage of flower. I pull all my plants weekly. Photography them, fondle them, nip samples to look under the microscope, and look for things like this. Then we began wet trimming her today and we both noticed tiny pods. ****! Why didn't...

    Just discovered she hermed

    Chopped down my beautiful auto Blue Dream. Been looking forward to it. Thick dense buds, stinking up the room. Began trimming her up, and got a surprise. Tiny pods! Located in the thickest buds. Looks like she hermed. Placed a couple fresh buds under the microscope, and they're covered in...

    Possible need to rehydrate

    I may have gone two days too long, seem a bit dry. Is there anyway possible to get a bit of moisture back in these beautiful buds?
