So a little further report on the hydro. Had the daughter take a bong hit. Her impression, it doesn't really taste like weed it's much smoother.... lol. The son-in-law says he wouldn't know I was smoking weed, but some tobacco blend or vape juice. He thinks with just a little tobacco added you'd never know.
Totally subjective but it was interesting they described it that way considering they know nothing about growing or water curing, purely part time rec smokers.
I'm gonna start cutting flowering plants tomorrow. The hydro needs to get chopped before I have any decay. The 2 little soils are yellowing nicely and good to go anytime, and mom will get saved for last, she's still in good shape so she can wait a day or two.
