Take a 8" stem and cut off the budlets 3/4" apart half dollar sized and the very top silver dollar sized then two lower yellow leaves cut at the base and 1-3 in the middle (mostly tops only) and trim the whole bud softly so all lil leaf tips are cut and the bud looks sharp,saving the green last trim as a lil prize and all other trim saved for oil.

Input please!!!

i usually try to leave the buds as big as possible, leaving them on the stem & then just trim off all protruding leaves. http://www.marijuanagrowing.com/dhtm...de/mh_ch_5.pdf & http://www.marijuanapassion.com/Dryi...Marijuana.html & http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/mj009.htm

One reason i am pulling the Papaya apart is i was worried they mite get bud rot in 40-50% RH since they were so dense and hard,now on the 4-5th day of hanging and 1/3 is in lil manicured bins,should i just let them sit in the dark room a few more days or bag um in the frig.? They seem mostly dry cause i dried the soil so good prior to harvest.

The stems are almost at the snap point to,i wont have time fir the smaller 2/3rds hanging,what do you recommend?

u dont have time to manicure the last 2/3rds? if so just cure them like that & trim later

So even if its only 5 days hanging dry its ok to bag um and open daily a lil longer till dry watching so not too much moisture is there? I think there 75% dry but im not sure,some of the smaller stems snap but i cut apart all the bigger ones into trimmed nuggs.

That freezer trick works wonders for kief man!!

3 days and now im DONE!! No more 3 month veg. for me unless i cut all the lower branches,i did cut about half.... and paid for it with the whole weekend!!

Hey so, a couple of questions here, First off, what kind of soil mix would i want to use for the plant?, can i just take some soil from my backyard? And second, how does the whole lighting thing work?, isn't it suppose to be 12on/12off?, whats the stuff i've been hearing about speeding up the grow time or something?

I have a mother grown in hydro using GH 3 part. I have moved it into a 6" bucket. It is grown under a 24/7 florescent. Forgive me for my ignorance, but could you be more detailed, as I am not sure I understand this. Please elaborate.

i bet if u can put a fan on the 1's left hanging, on a deceint speed, they would be dry (90%) in 12hrs or even less. but id say its ok to bag um, (just keep them in complete dark) so there is less chance for mold growth, & just do what u do.

your best bet is to buy some organic potting mix (fox farm ocean forest if u can get it), if not then miricle gro organic is your next best bet & buy some perlite (for drainage) & mix them in a 4 (soil) to 1 (perlite) ratio. u dont want to use dirt from outside b/c it can contain bugs/pest that could infest your whole grow room & kill the plants. for lighting u want a 24/0 or 18/6 (24on/0off, 18on/6off) for vegging, & when u want to flower the plants u switch the lights to 12/12, & keep it @ 12/12 until harvest. the only way to really speed up growth is by useing co2, & a few other things like different plant hormones & such (these are minimul)

Since my 1st experiment w/my DIY cloner eventually failed, I got some Sunleaves Super Starter Plugs to try out. Couple of questions, should I use plain tapwater, PH corrected tapwater (to what PH?) or something w/mild nutes? Also, was just spraying plain water on the leaves several times/day while they were under the hum. dome.....should I be using a mild nute spray instead?

I'm hoping to use 1 23w cfl to get about 4 of them rooted....is that enough?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm gonna go for another practice before I really need it to work right.
