I just ordered similar vape from the best country that Korea is totally jealous of.should be here in 5 years or so. I paid 20 bucks so whatever.


Yeah, it looks similar. Mine is smaller by maybe 25%, but yours has way more features, like variable battery, ability to smoke concentrates, battery indicator. When I was looking around, I just went with top 10 lists from a few websites, identified my price point, then looked for reoccurring products. Once I made up my mind I was shocked to see the price on ebay. The $17 with shipping included means they basically sold it for $10 so I don't see where the profit margin is. The hive 2.0 is $14 on ebay, fucking crazy

I know. I was in the process of editing my post when you responded. Hive 2.0 is a measly $14 shipped on ebay. How the fuck these guys are making any money baffles me.

Lol, those expedited fees are ridiculous. How about no, but I'll order 2 instead? Haha

In the last place I would have ever expected a weed reference, I noticed something that gave me a chuckle today.
The Big Bang Theory's 4th season, 20th episode is called 'The Herb Garden Germination'.

Any issues with quality, nug sizes, or stem weight since you aren't viewing the actual product in person?
ive probably bought 10 different grams of shatter and budder and they were all great . all the weed has been good even the AA cheap stuff was good. decent buds. i bought some hash one time and it was just ok. i probably still have it.i wanted a piece of hash and it came as crumble.

That's pretty sweet.

We are at day 58, did my final flush two days ago, just waiting for them to dry out a bit to harvest
Two of the nine are still slightly early to pull but I'm leaving in a little over a week for three weeks so I gotta pull them tomorrow to have them dry by the time I leave
Luckily I have people coming over to spend three weeks here to feed the 2nd grow and do the burping for curing

Here's a couple pics, I had a bunch of problems with nitrogen and potassium On the sensi and ice cream so I'm cutting the nutrients back on them for the 2nd go around



Durga mata cbd 2








Durga cbd 1






Wapa









Sensi Star #2



Sensi #1






Ice cream #1






Ice cream #3



Ice cream #2

Thanks for sharing Gay For Longo @Gay for Longo .

Trichs are looking good, but you definitely have to get that canoeing under control. Looks like your temps got too high and there is definitely nute burn on the CBDs. I think you might have cal-mag issues on the ice cream plants.

Shit'll still be better than what you can buy though, good on ya!

Thanks man
Ya it was definitely a learning experience but I took a ton of notes, kept track of everything and took pics along the way so I can look back and compare with this grow

I went with just regular tap water on the first grow and that definitely played a part in too much nutrients creating the nutrient burn and the lockout
I was going 1/4 and then 1/2 of recommendation on bottle but gojng to drop to even less this time around

I'm hoping to have an ro filter system put in the basement tap in a couple months so I can get a lot better control of everything

Thanks for the tips :)

My regular water comes in at 350ppm and ive got all of the girls runoff down to under 500 now so I'm happy about that

Edit: oh and about the canoeing
I have the heat going between 70-79 so I don't think its the heat
I think I had too much air being forced on them from fans for the first month to month and a half in flower (they were dancing around), so I moved one of the fans up higher so it creates more airflow up top as well as below and they started to open up a bit more
Dunno if that was it for sure but it's weird that it only really happened with the 3 plants that are in the back of the tent
Possible because those are right under the air filter which sucks in pretty hard?

I've had a perpetual grow for a little over 2 years straight now and I am very aware that I'm still a novice.

I don't have the time or space to get dialed in like the pros, so I've gone with the simplest method I could find. I don't worry about ppm, just ph.
My tap water is usually in the 8's from the tap. I add a little under 1 tsp/gal of maxibloom powder(adjust strength by how a strain responds) and adjust ph to between 5.8 and 6.2. That's pretty much it. For everything from seedlings and newly rooted cuts through veg and bloom all get the same.

I grow using passive hydroponics with coco coir and hydroton pellets. Even in full flower, I only have to feed every 2-3 days, there are no air pumps or water pumps or chillers to fail; it's pretty much stoner proof.

(Just for completeness, I sometimes use a silica supplement, and the girls often get a few feeds of KoolBloom powder during the last few weeks.)

When I've had too much fan blowing directly on leaves, they sometimes curl down on the tips, but the curling up all along the edges is something different. Like I said, I'm far from a pro, so maybe web-search leaf canoeing and see if anything that matches what your girls went through pops up.

Ya I think we are only a couple hours apart, your water levels seem right in line with mine as well the humidity troubles I remember you mentioning

I want to switch over to coco when this bag of soil is gone (next flower should empty the bag)

I like the idea of way less nutrients
I'm using dutch nutrients a&b, grow (veg) and bloom burst (flower), and their diamond product but think I'm cutting the diamond out
