a few pics of the fermentation chamber I made, it has ceramic lizard heaters in the bottom controlled by a digital thermostat, there are fans mounted on the top that draw air from 2 holes in the bottom and I have a rheostat that controls fan speed, the doors seal and the fans create a vacuum that will suck the doors shut lol think of it as a giant jar that burps itself :)

Here is a pic of several plants Brown Bushin (vine ripening) I let em just sit there for 2 months till they turn brown, smoke is very smooth and tasty. I actually discovered this by accident years ago when I harvested the tops of a plant and set the bottom aside, was just gonna let it dry and make hash oil with it, was in no hurry so yeah it sat there for a few months and that oil was awesome so I did it on purpose the next time lol

Would be interesting to hear your comments and some history on that Durban you hold.
I've never had the pleasure of toking a real quality Durban. I've been back on the hunt here lately. My research indicates that most of the offerings in bean form that are available from vendors today are seriously lacking. I want the quality Durban Poison that was around late 80's to mid 90's.

It is supposed to be the one that has been floatin around Colorado since the early 90's or so I was told. I was gifted 2 clones from a guy who knew a guy kinda thing and it does have the look and smell of a good Durban. I just chopped her this morning so we'll see how good she smokes in a few weeks?

I have no plans of keepin her, now that I have bred her I'll be moving on, I have crossed her to 4 different strains (all mine) it is how I mix in the genetics to my program. I'll pop the new beans, see what I get and move forward from there. I try and stay with one new strain at a time but twice I have gone big so to speak with multiple strains (this grow is my 2nd time doing this) I still have 10 strains from the 1st time I have never grown (but others have) Some of this grow is about back crossing for stability, breedin takes forever but is a lot of fun and I enjoy it

I'm thinkin I'll add the Komaoni land race in next :)

The midday depression experiment is a success, the 1/2 hour of dark in the middle of flower is killin it, with what I am seein thus far I am totally gonna keep this goin. The little Amethyst bud I highlighted in Sat's update has doubled in size in just 3 days
