Issue #586 - Sunday, July 16, 2023 Dear Fellow Grower, In today's issue... - When you think of excellent, top-shelf weed that costs an arm and a leg, what do you expect from it? Potency for sure. Good looks are a must. The flavor should be good. But just as important as
any of those factors is the SMELL! Today, we're going to show you how to make sure that your homegrown weed makes a delicious (or stanky) scent that compliments all its other great attributes.
- Several of you have asked about how to grow mushrooms indoors. Today I made a guide that is an overview of the mushroom growing process vs growing cannabis. If you read today's article and it sounds like something you're interested in, please let us know and we
may start putting together a more detailed guide.
- Get ready, we have a whole new batch of piping-hot trophy pics ready for your viewing pleasure. Outdoor plants? Got em. Indoor plants? Got em. Weird plants doing weird stuff? Yup, got those, too!

How to Make Weed Smell Better (and Stop Hay Smell!) 🌳💨👃➡😊👍 |
|
|
Today I'm going to cover a topic that we get a lot of questions about... Cannabis smell. Common questions include, "How do you make cannabis buds smell good?" or "How do you make cannabis plants keep their smell after drying them?" Another common question is, "How do I prevent 'hay smell'"? Many growers also ask about unpleasant smells that mysteriously appear during the drying or curing
process. Luckily, you have the power to get a wonderful smell from your cannabis, and prevent common problems like hay smell. We have a comprehensive tutorial, but I recommend taking a quick look at the table of contents below. It may give you ideas about ways to gain control over cannabis smell based on your personal situation. If anything seems relevant to you, click the link to learn more! Summary Why Buds Have a Low or Bad Cannabis Smell - Grower mistakes (especially during the drying/curing process) that directly cause a bad smell
- Poor growing practices that prevent buds from reaching their full potential
- Genetics that produce either a low or unpleasant
smell (many strains smell like a skunk and some even have tinges of cat pee)
What is it like to grow mushrooms indoors? |

Example of mushrooms growing in a storage container Several of you have asked about how to grow mushrooms indoors. It is a straightforward topic but also a big topic because there are many ways and methods to grow. I like the grow style pictured above, which uses a short storage container with filtered holes in the side. These can be stacked or kept under the bed, which makes it a lot
easier to hide your grow than cannabis. For those who don't want to build anything, you can buy almost every part of the mushroom growing process pre-made, but it is much cheaper if you DIY each step. Whether you make or buy the parts, just assemble it to grow mushrooms, follow a set of good directions for each step, and mainly just wait for harvest. I wrote an article that breaks down the mushroom growing process from the perspective of a cannabis grower.

"I was never truly sure about harvesting; fantastic images, many thanks." ~Dickie Glad we could help you get your harvest sorted out! ~Sirius |
"When you said: "If an insect comes up to you and promises to magically turn your one partially smoked joint into 3 brand new joints if you close your eyes and count to 500, say "No!"",
I couldn't help it--if an insect comes up to you and promises to magically do anything, I want to know what you're smoking! And if you're smoking that, how long would it take you to count to 500? (without losing
your place).
Always enjoy your work, thanking you since 2013 for great information." ~Dee If you write in next week saying that an insect tricked you out of your partially smoked joint, don't say I didn't warn you! 🤣 (Seriously, thanks for sticking around with us!) ~Sirius "I would love to hear more on shrooms. 🍄 TY for all your hard work!!💚"
~Burnzy
Quite a few people felt the same way as you, so Nebula cooked up a little bitty article above. I'm sure she could write an encyclopedia for the topic at this point 👩🔬

"A mushroom growing tutorial would be awesome. Please consider doing it. Here's a couple pics from the current grow. Mephisto Genetics' El Chemi Kiwi and Aunt Ginny's Elixir in an Earthbox. Re-ammended living soil and organic ferments. For my lifestyle (read lazy), the living soil/Eartbox combo is perfect. This is the third run in this soil. I love not pHing the water and also never having to guess on watering. I've discovered autoflowers
through you two and I love them. Lots of different flavors fast and no worry about light leaks. Thank you both for the outstanding service and information you provide this community." ~Cosmo Stardrive I love the plants as much as I love your moniker. We're both fond of space-themed names and your is pretty darn nice if I say so myself 🚀🌌 ~Sirius |
[No description included] ~Dexterdaredevil I'm a bit jealous of the outdoor grow, a bit more jealous of the greenhouse, but impressed with the use of tires. That all equals out to a 👍 ~Sirius "I sprouted this Runtz 2 weeks ago (ILGM seed bank) and it seemed to have topped itself look like a plus symbol not sure if it is a positive." ~Abe This happens from time to time and it's not really something you can predict. Luckily,
it grew a node before topping itself, so you can top it again and have a plant that splits after the first node. Let us know how this turns out! ~Sirius [No description included.] ~Justin I'm pretty sure Justin got lost in these woods and the plants sent in the pictures themselves. Why else would Justin not say anything about these plants? I hope you're okay, Justin. ~Sirius
Imagine Being Romanced...out of $500,000! |

Sadly, this isn't even a rare occurrence... Scammers will say anything for your money! I hate to admit it, but Nebula and I were recently addicted to a channel on Youtube called "Catfished" (not the MTV show). In short, these people help folks who are being scammed out of their money and
time with the promise of a perfect romance to keep them going. Some people are scammed for a few thousand dollars, while others have lost their retirements, savings, and even their homes in some cases. One of the best ways to avoid a romance scam is simply knowing that they exist. So many people being scammed are in denial that a person could be so cruel to another person, but that's the unfortunate truth. Be skeptical, be suspicious, and keep an alligator-strength grip on
your information and money. I better not see any of our readers making an appearance on this show!* *That being said, if you think you're being scammed, please, please tell someone immediately. Nebula and I have saved two different people from being scammed in the building we live in, and I've stopped counting the number of scams we've stopped online. Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed
businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).
