rolling the perfect joint/blunt

a friend from an old town turned me on to this.

you grind up the weed the best you can, put all bud in an even line in the joint/blunt, and start at the middle when rolling, this evenly distributes the weed among the paper. when you start at the middle, make sure your thumbs evenly roll out the joint, and when its consitant and you can roll it back and forth, you can lick the glue on the rolling paper and seal the joint, it should be awesome to smoke!

try rolling thin joints for a daily pick me up!

why i think every stoner should have atleast one chillum

bongs are good, pipes are awesome, vaping is cool when you can get it, but how far do you want to go before you get a chillum?

sometimes your pipes are dirty, would it be possible to choose the simplest method of smoking marijuana, a way to attach a bud to a tube, as a way to smoke weed?

i say you should.

if you smoke about an eighth of premium california bud, you’ll see that a chillum is perfect! you can strech an eighth out to about 3 weeks for a casual smoker, just make sure you put the chillum in a clean place

a chillum is also known as a one hitter, and it takes the job with one as a clear calloused method of smoking marijuana. you only really need one hit for an on the go stoner, and its pleasurable smoking with friends with a chillum. after a hit of premium weed, you can find it lasting up to 3 hours for a heavy smoker

so if your bongs bonged out, and your pipes piping quitting, always keep a chillum! and you can find one for less then 20$ at your local smoke shop

generic hydroponic flora nova keeps ph buffered at 7

thats right, you can just pour gh flora nova into a rez and it’ll change ph to 7 automatically, no need for ph up/down or any crazy tricks

so if your growing hydroponic, and you have to change nutes every week, you might not have to with flora nova, just pour a generous amount of nutes in (1tsp/gal) and you should be good to go!

simple 2×4 ebb and flow table (made for 5×5+ rooms, maybe 6×6, EASY DRILL

you’ll need:

  • a 2×4 folding table
  • 2×4 ebb and flow table
  • a 55 gallon res
  • a water pump
  • ebb and flow fittings
  • a hole saw that fits ebb and flow settings
  • tubing (some plugs are 3/4th of an inch, others are 1/2th inch)
  • possible airstone/air pump for res
  • bungie cords
  • electrical clock timer

first of all, with a 3/4th i think hole saw, you can find it at home depot or lowes, with that hole saw you saw out a FLOW and a DRAIN hole on the side, where the ebb and flow table will overlap the table and flood from the res and drain back, complete with drips, into the the res

make sure the gromit or whatever is sealed, i personally didnt seal mine too well so it dripped

but you overlap the table onto the res, so about 1 foot of the ebb and flow tables wide side kinda sticks over and the ebb and flow table is strapped down by the bungie cords. if its stable, it should work during grows, and try to connect them from under the table, if the bungie hook doesnt take, try carefully streching it out, or force it into the side of the ebb and flow table

so here we go, the water pumps (floods) water and nutes into the flood table, it sits there for about 5-15 minutes, and it drains back into the resevior, these all happen in increments throughout the day

you also dont have to change res water until 2 weeks prior harvest, so feel free to gauge and estimate pouring nutrients in

also be sure to use nutrients with a ph buffer, try generic hydroponics flora nova, it keeps ph at 7 even before and after nutes have been added

if you want to quickly and effortlessly drain an ebb and flow setup, you can always attach a long tubing to a water pump in the res, and try to dump all water out through that mean

the ins and outs of cloning without cloning hormone/gel

branches dont really need cloning gel to branch, you can get away with planting clones directly in hydroponic medium such as rockwool.

lets say you have a 2×4 ebb and flow table, if you have rapid rooters (a must in any grow room) or rockwool cubes, you can plant the stem of a clone directly, without any additional chemicals, into the plug or cube, and within 10 days, as long as the clone is wet, will start growing roots at the bottom of the stem.. meaning you can leave the table on flood mode, and within 10 days or so you can start adding 1/2 strength nutrients

these clones dont need much light initially, and if you keep a clone under light for long enough it’ll grow roots like crazy, but these are good enough to start a good hydroponic garden, and i do believe if the soil isnt hot at all, you can plant branches in an indoor garden in soil, but it might be hard to gauge the roots

how to (and its never) properly germinate a marijuana seed

a cannabis seed is merely cannabis protein surrounded by a husk seperated by a thin organic chemical, it needs plenty of water to encourage the seeds ecosystem into concruently breaking the seal, giving the seed energy and the plant, and sustain its growth to make a taproot, and when the taproot breaks out of the shell, it usually digs into the soil and eventually brings the plant back up, complete with coteldons making it a real plant!

most growers normally use a paper towel, in a zip lock bag, and sometimes under some heat. it helps, its almost like a hippy ritual

some people also choose to fully submerge their seed in water

i personally plant 1 marijuana seed per rooter plugs, you can also use a rockwool cube if you make 100% sure its wet, but for the most part a rapid rooter grow plug, which i think is made of some kind of machine peat, thats constantly moist has given me roughly 96% germination rates. ive also been able to germinate old seeds with both rapid rooter and rockwool, and its taken upwards of 3 weeks for them to break shell and show two initial leaves

this also means you can plant rapid rooting plugs and rockwool with cannabis seed directly into soil, just make sure to not disturb the seed and to water carefully, so the seed doesnt float out of the cube and get lost in the soil

i personally feel like rapid rooters are the best out there, seriously ive gotten a 96% success rate over 20 years on them

although i did read about another method, where you put a cannabis seed in a test tube, and it breaks the shell and creates a long plant with roots in the tube, but thats more for science and its easy to permanently damage a plants roots like that

2×4 tent with a trellis, is that all the weed you need?

just a month ago i had a spare papaya razzle plant, and i decided to bloom it. it was already in a 2×4 chamber, so i kept it there, but i really thought since i dont get that many fat colas from a plant in a 2×4 tent, i decided to use something called a ‘trellis net’, a trellis net with holes about 5inx5in made, the goal is to order each branch in the net, so when it grows, it grows and gets “trained” into the growing pattern the net creates.

usually when this happens, marijuana plants roots send signals to the other parts of the plant to bring more energy to those, more gravitational based chemicals into the plant, and allows more light to reach those parts, and it kinda streches the tops of the plant out, getting more light to some parts, so budsites inbetween the branches can get more light, bringing more yeild. this is a scrog type thing

but yeah, with ample light, i see a dutyful harvest, possibly a qp out of a 11gal pot.

not to say this would last a heavy stoner a long time, but if you occassionally toke all day, this method of keeping a 2×4 grow tent and using a trellis net with s hooks (you can always buy trellis nets and s hooks from amazon) is an amazing way to get weed, if you have more then one tent, its best to look into perpetual harvests
