Obviously what your doing it working well!I suppose I shouldn't talk shit without having done it myself... but I don't think I could bring myself to remove all the leaves... so I guess I'll never know

Oh I definitely defoliate and keep legs shaved... just something about those folks that say remove ALL the fans that rubs me the wrong way lol. We've all seen a post of someone that went way overboard I'm sure.You don’t remove everyone it’s a very selective process - I used to be a guy who just couldn’t pluck healthy leaves - now I’m a believer that defoliation is needed based on skill level .
Aww shucksObviously what your doing it working well!
The summer of 1988. It was awful. There was nothing and what there was was awful. I think that was what sealed the deal for me to try growing. I promised myself I'd never be in that position again.Man you just described my buddies and myself scrounging for anything when weed was scarce in the area in the 80's/90's!
Scraped nasty resin from crusty pipes and bongs more than I'd like to admit but it did the trick when you were jonesing to get lit and had absolutely nothing to fall back on. Good times
NO. MORE. WIRE....HANGERS!You missed the main part. He said to do it with wire hangers and to wrap them tightly around the stems to where it digs into the stalks... Instead of just hanging them upside down.
"Dude........someone stole my weed man!!"sounds like you were just smoking actual cereal dust
Anyone remember using the iso2, Isomorizer2?
I remember seeing the ads in High Times and thinking what a time to be alive!Anyone remember using the iso2, Isomorizer2? I had one. As I recall, it claimed that by isomerizing the weed, washing it with Everclear and then putting the stripped plant material back into the wash and removing the Everclear through evaporation and recondensing the pure alcohol, it would make your isomerized material more potent. Something about turning one of the cannibinoids, I can't remember which one, THCV?, into THC and thus more potent.
What I think I know now tells me that the oil I made was good oil and smoking it confirmed it was concentrated. But returning the oil to the plant material making it more potent??? That may have been good ole bro science??? Perhaps it did do some decarboxilating from the heat? I remember it was powered (heat sourse) by a light bulb in the bottom of the base and temp was controlled by a dimmer knob on the front.
Anyone else have one of these back in the 80's and remember the claims made about the machine?
I found this photo online, oooh the memories, sweet memories!

Ice in your bong water.......You'll get so much higher if you hold your bong hit right up until you're about to pass out.
I love my bong but I have been thinking about a nice vape, what's been working well for you?Ice in your bong water.......
Doesn't that just trap more resin.....?
We have so many good vaporizers, and extracts. People still use bongs? It's probably more for the show of it.
I remember the isomizer thing.......I still have my High Times magazines from the 80s-90s, that's probably one of the things I passed on......Reminds me of Biowave, a subharmonic plant growth enhancer that appears to be a weird looking $1500 egg beater

Phototron has been mentioned but here's another blast from the past even before Phototron...
The Mary-Gro 75 watt grow light. I remember being 16 years old and ready to grow my own when I bought the Mary-Gro at a hardware store. I even had somebody go in to buy it for me like it was booze because I was scared I'd be arrested for buying it. It actually worked to a point, growing stretched out spindly plants in the back of my closet which never flowered because I had no idea weed was a phototropic plant so I didn't use a timer

It's probably called Bro Science because for the most part, women aren't stupid enough to believe all that nonsense.Thanks for defining it. I had not heard the term till I joined this forum. Maybe that's because I'm not a bro.
Storz & Bickel. They make the volcano but i never understood the concept of pre-filling a balloon. But.....for home use, the "Plenty". Yes, it looks like a power drill, you plug it in, but in terms of taste, dialing the temp in, cooling coil/mouthpiece.......excellent, and well made. It should last years, longer if you treat it right.I love my bong but I have been thinking about a nice vape, what's been working well for you?
When I first read about Blackstrap Molasses, it sounded intriguing but I was skeptical. Could it reall add a little sweetness? Probably not. Indoors it would probably attract bugs that would laugh at you behind your back.......Over ten years on weed forums so yeah I've seen a few...
Most bat shit crazy dangerous medical advice~ Soaking dozens of smoked roaches in Everclear until it's a disgusting blackish green liquid. Drink the liquid for a great buzz and to cure all cancers
To increase yields~ Defoliating to the point the plant looks like it was in a hail storm...Red mylar on the walls....1000 watts per plant....Bloombastic.... GLH LED.....Bubbleponics....A ferret living in the grow room to be a CO2 generator
To increase potency~Defoliating to the point the plant looks like it was in a hail storm....Stab the plant with a thumb tack. It will think it's under attack by bugs and create more resin to defend itself....Insect frass for the same reason. Abuse, shake, curse, make faces at it, for the same reason.
UVB~jury is still out on that one and will return in 2087 with a verdict
To enhance flavor/terps~ Koolaid, fruit juice, sugar water and many more in the hydro rez or watered in soil the last two weeks of flowering. Misting buds with a honey and water mixture before harvest. Use honey as a paint and paint your buds before harvest. Dry the plant whole and intact
General info~ You need a $400, 13 bottle line of nutes to grow weed.....The color purple has a flavor

Here is my vote! LOVE my Plenty. ........but it ain't "bro science", it works!!!!Storz & Bickel. They make the volcano but i never understood the concept of pre-filling a balloon. But.....for home use, the "Plenty". Yes, it looks like a power drill, you plug it in, but in terms of taste, dialing the temp in, cooling coil/mouthpiece.......excellent, and well made. It should last years, longer if you treat it right.
But the "Mighty".......about the size of a small walkie talkie (these aren't made for stealth, but that's not the goal). Flower, hash, wax, chargeable, exact temp control......
I prefer a mod for cartridges over pens. There are a lot of good, small mods, the size of like, a C battery, that will dial in the right temp/wattage for getting a perfect vape hit from cartridges. E leaf is a good one but there are so many. I have a larger pen that takes carts, flower, wax/hash.......
Wait, you're bong hitting FROM the Plenty?? How much of a difference does that make? Does it take away any flavor?Here is my vote! LOVE my Plenty. ........but it ain't "bro science", it works!!!!
