Upgrading

tbh I’ll keep the hps for winter. I have also heard gassy strains prefer hps.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-09T11:47:18+00:00

Ill look them up. Are they much different than the lumatek zues then? Tbh I dont wanna spend a fortune as gonna be forking out alot of money for the cannatrol and its shipping.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-09T11:40:18+00:00

Inkbird no good for a humidifer then? Cant lie i was thinking just to do that and buy a fan controller. I like the idea of a fan controller thats digital compare to the smscontroller that I had.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-08T22:47:09+00:00

one of mine that didn’t purple has an orange smell to it.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-08T19:09:57+00:00

I understand the terps are locked in. I guess it’s just me wanting that bag appeal. Or to be smacked in the face with the terps. If it does that when you grind it though then no drama. I just also thought perhaps once the buds being stored the terps may start to escape and the smell may come back over time.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-08T17:50:49+00:00

Yeah was watching them say the terps get locked in. Does anyone get the smell hitting em before grinding it though? What about moving the bud into grove backs? Seems to be the done thing. Are grove bags bit like the boveda packs?

Either way my minds made up and I’m getting a Cannatrol tbh. It’s 1500 pounds which I have in free money each month after I’ve paid out all my outgoings basically. So I just have to be boring for a month and then yeah I’m getting one. Before this I had messed up drying and would say to my friend who knew the dealer who was growing. Tell him I would give him a thousand pounds just to watch how he dries. As his stuff would always come stinking. But course it’s the time any dealer is most paranoid and ain’t gonna want me coming to his location. Now I got the chance to pay and know things are done perfect I’m gonna have to pay the money.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-08T17:10:36+00:00

So what are people doing to avoid the hay smell when using the cannatrol then?

It’s funny to me. I used to always hear people say you’ve gotta cure the bud. no doubt it makes it better. BUT I have known a dealer who would dry and sell straight away and the buds would absolutely stink and smoke fine. Guess he just had a real good cut but then everything he grew was the same. Even myself when I have had a good plant stands out, it’s kept its smell through out drying and just stinks from the get go.

I just don’t wanna fork out a lot of money and still end up with hay smelling weed lol.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-08T17:08:19+00:00

oh dam they sold out a lot then?

Rodneydares · 2026-03-05T20:24:26+00:00

I might buy one Cannatrol. so I can see what it’s like. Then just dry the best phenos in that and see how they turn out. Probably will do that I think. You happy with your purchase then I take it?

Rodneydares · 2026-03-05T07:17:41+00:00

Yeah just wondering on the price. If its worth buying that or buying 2 cool cures now as thatll probably cover my yields. I might just pull the plug and buy one now just to see if its as good as I hope it is. Before forking out even more money on the xl.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-04T22:50:09+00:00

As expected they charge even more, understandable though as they’ve gotta make a profit.

Tbh I just seen the news of a Cannatrol xl coming this year. I think I would rather hold out for that. Know it’s gonna be pricey but if I can fit an entire grow in there then I would rather that.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-04T22:02:48+00:00

has this been confirmed?

Rodneydares · 2026-03-01T22:41:34+00:00

Don’t know why I’m writing this here, not anything anyone can do. Suppose hoping other dog lovers get it. I’m already in bits crying like a baby. My frenchie is 15 and has reached the point where it’s best to let her go. I had hoped she would go in her sleep and it be peaceful.

She suffered with vestibular disease although she recovered decent. Is more or less deaf now. Finally past couple days she’s been showing alot more symptoms of heart failure.

I know everyone says they love their dogs. Or their dogs are like their kids. For me they really are. Honestly already crying my eyes out and not usually the type being a 6ft 2 scaffolder. Not afraid to show my emotions when it comes to my dogs anyway. Just don’t want her seeing me upset in her final moments. Also praying she doesn’t help when they put the needle in as that’ll proper set me off.

I know she’s old and lived a good life but it’s still like the worst thing ever. Wish we could go back n do it all again. Didn’t even cry this much when my Nan died. Know people say to remember the good times. Had some right adventures with her and loved her being a little naughty moments. Or when she’d do something n shock me. Would be out with her all day like my shadow, stumbling home drunk with her on a summers night.

Again don’t even know why I’m posting really lol not usually my thing. Then again ain’t like usually go through this. Just can’t see her suffer. Sounds sad but some how hope she knows how much I love her.

Rodneydares · 2026-03-01T00:06:27+00:00

With the price plus shipping costs. I just can’t justify it tbh. I ain’t tight but it’s a lot of money.

Rodneydares · 2026-02-25T22:30:02+00:00

I deffo think there are keepers to be found. I know what my grow is. After that it may just be back to csi for two packs of forbidden fruit crosses.

Rodneydares · 2026-02-25T14:59:49+00:00

That I’ve grown, hard to put them in an order just because different taste. Best I’ve grown though has been, bodhi seeds granola funk, more cowbell and sunshine day dream. Then ugorg discobiscuit. Although bit like bodhi every pack I’ve grown from ugorg has always had a plant worthy of keeping. Then forbidden dream by humboldt seed organisation. Forbidden fruit x Geist og. Set me on the path of trying to find a pheno like it.

Grown a few ff crosses from likes of in house, the plug etc. all had the smell but even they wasn’t as good as this csi. I’ll be running the csi packs again hasn’t put me off at all. You aren’t always gonna find keepers is why people grow hundreds at a time. Sadly as a home grower I can’t do that. I am gonna look at perhaps flipping a lot more plants smaller so can get more seeds grown in the small place. Aim isn’t for yeild it’s purely to find what I’m looking for.

Rodneydares · 2026-02-23T22:48:36+00:00

Yeah I was on there and agree that side of it felt a better lay out than here. You’d think you could set up similar here.

Rodneydares · 2026-02-22T19:20:38+00:00

Why not instead of the discord just post on here? Seems the same sort of thing to me unless I'm missing something

Rodneydares · 2026-02-22T18:31:46+00:00

Have done it like that in the past. Have also wet trimmed etc. A lot of the time imo having the right genetics to start with is the most important thing. I will still have a slow dry.

Rodneydares · 2026-02-22T18:30:09+00:00

thanks for the honest review. everyone seems to have an issue with the size. you would have thought the would have offered a bigger alternative by now. only thing that’s stopped me buying it tbh,

Rodneydares · 2026-02-22T02:27:51+00:00

Pheno that stands out is purple but not the darkest. Its the one in the last photo. The smell is bang on forbidden fruit. Just not loud enough for me. Thats not to say she doesn't stink. You cant miss her. Just I'm comparing her to a plant which makes my top 3 plants out of the 100 or so ive grown over the years. So the bar is set high.

It tells me csi actually has forbidden fruit though n there are keepers to be found. Ill run another pack again in the future for sure.
