Durga Mata is not a bad smoke:
she's very uplifting and clear high; there's a tiny stone effect, on the other hand - mild hittin', but smooth and nice high nonetheless.
she's retained some fuel scent while breaking it apart in a joint, but it's not a harsh smoke. (wappa and CK are far stronger hitters anyways)
14.08g

she's been drying 4 days in low RH room, then 24 hrs. in salt: (still some "sweating" to do, of course)

*aluminium box built by a friend from some pc speakers. :)

hey NKOTS, thank you mate! :)
I don't know, salt does a nice job trapping humidity that quickly saturates the air in a closed jar.
It doesn't get rid of mold forming, in fact I had to aerate anyways after 24hrs, as I do with a normal jar - but it is faster.
A friend brought me the alu box, this' been his method for a lot of time, works for him.

closest shot I could get of Durga Mata bud:

So do u bury that whole aluminium bud box under salt? Don't you get salt in the buds? How do u do it?

Anyway the plants r looking lush man - buds all the way up :biggrin:

hey twist1! :)
Yes it's buried, and big grains salt is bigger than the net holes.
A few does enter I noticed, but it must fall off, because I haven't come across any - in many joints :-D

I must say I'm not impressed with the method, not worth unless you're in a rush maybe, and even then I guess there may be many better... :)

Garden is looking nice. That Durga looks extra keefy. Is wappa the best strain out of the mix so far?

thanks CM!
the Wappa is head to head with CK imho: I'd like to taste the 8 1/2 weeker CK before deciding which to keep.
Not DM (too mild, plus I have another 4 beans of hers :D )

thanks tronkyx!
two 150s... that'd be sweet mate :-D ! if you stack them you could have one of those crazy vert setups they do, but in miniature!

little update
couldn't resist and went for CK and wappa (a couple days in advance, but they looked nice).
They entered the tent at 10"+, 25+ cm, among the biggest

Sup bro, you are killing it! I am about to copy your style and hang my 150w Vert once my ballast arrives. your space is 2x2'? How many plants can you fit in there around the bulb? What's the best yield you have gotten yet? You have it on a perpetual cycle so there is always something at all stages of growth, correct?

Can't wait for my ballast to get here!

- Yes it's 2'x2'.
- There were 8 at some point, at various stages, some were smaller (if all the same size and comfy, I'd go with no more than 6. But it depends on how many side branches you leave, etc...).
- About 17-18g (1st cycle, here) if I recall correctly (with 2,5l pots), while in current 1l+ pots 15g+ is quite a good result.
- Yes to have a constant supply, and to test various genetics: it's been crazy flexible/fast, BUT it kinda turned back on me when it came to (A) mixing nutes -it's HELL- and (B) when I start/stop the system, there are a few plants and it's "underutilized" compared to a full grow.


hey NKOTS thanks! :) great job in your cabs man :tiphat:

I feel like 1L is a good size. Good "bang for your Buck" in terms of their size vs yield. I am currently running an experiment of a 2L vs a 1 Gal vs a 1L in coco to try to see which size i like best in my cab with coco as a medium(yes another one). 1 gal is almost too big...
