Dr Dog, yeah man there's something about room mods that just make me giddy.

labtec, lol thanks, don't tell anyone my secret!

Tonatiuh, like Dog said this thing is fine! Got it at Giant Tiger for 20 bones, not sure if you have them down there, but I think K-Mart may carry it. It's made by Hamilton Beach, it's for drying clothes. Mine has 5 racks, you can probably put a QP on each rack. You can take the racks off and on... there's a fan on the bottom that blows air out onto each rack. I have noticed that if you leave it on 24/7 it dries in 2 days, way to fast. I would say go 12/12 on it and give it a nice 3-4 day dry.... but man get yourself one, there was a ton of them one day and the next they were gone, funny it was around OD harvest time too lmfao.

SirSmokalot, I stated it in your thread, but thanks bro for posting it.

I promise some pics tomorrow! I have a nice purple Pollen Chuck that's really frosty.

Have to go through my collection and see what's sticking around and what gets tossed. The seedlings are doing good, almost time for new pots. I've decided to start composting my used soil so I can reuse it later on. Added to it as well is bone and blood meal, lime and some shrimp compost. I'll mix half old and half new... never had an issue before with re-using, as long as it's flushed well. I let the soil dry out really good before it goes into the bags for a month with all the amendments and a light watering.

Gnats are getting a bit crazy again so I've decided to make my own pest strips. Half corn syrup and half water, bring it to a boil and your good to go. I plan on using yellow cardboard from the dollar store, cut into squares attached to Popsicle sticks, then paint on the goop. Should catch the bastards.

Have a good one!

I brought in some tomatoes the summer before last. I noticed gnats the same day. Had em in the grow box ever since. The population waxes and wanes to almost nothing but they never totally go away. Good luck with the corn syrup.

Dr Dog, thanks bro, still one of my favs to run. Yeah too expensive to buy the amount of sticky strips I need so why not make em.

SirSmokalot, thanks man... yeah give it a shot, it's suppose to work.

unclefishstick, yeah I've tried many things, this is another to add to the list.

DiscoBiscuit, thanks man, they are a pain in the ass.

NorthernKronic, thanks bro, nice to see ya swing by.

Core, no prob bro, I know what it's like.

caligreen, thanks man, it's a joy to grow out.

Roortokeage, those were Core's pollen chuck, first gen.

Well guys and gals I had some time for shots today. Also I vegged out my plants longer this run so I had to do some late flower transplanting or else it would have been disastrous.


Running some Sour Puss (pheno 3, first gens). I had a bunch of these ready to seed out, but decided to put a hold on em for now.

Core made Pollen Chuck, and I love it. Smoke from that pheno is very sweet/diesel. Hits pretty fast and if you over do it your going to drift off to somewhere.

I have not tried his revised version, though all the shots I've seen look awesome. I just hate to let go of the first one lol, but I'll get to trying the other soon.
