I want to find out how many of you use a Firehouse Subs Pickle bucket for your cannabis growing needs.
I use mine to transport water to my 15 gal rez.
THE SMELL THOUGH! Cant seem to get rid of it.
While scanning various photos from this forum, I’ve noticed these buckets front and center or off in the corner gathering dust.
Sound off if you use a Firehouse Pickle Bucket!
I use Van Eerden garlic pickle buckets. Bright yellow.
Takes months and months for the smell to dissipate completely. Some of mine are nearly two years old and have a “twang”. Plants don’t mind and free food grade bucket is a free food grade bucket.
Fill 'em up with water and a few cups of bleach, when one’s soaked overnight I just dump the water in another one and repeat. Takes about 3/4 of the smell away.
Scrub it with baking soda and water paste, has always worked for me. Gets the smell of capers and kraut out too
I have a few brinery kraut buckets I use for mixing soil
Just curious, do you think the plant could pick up the smell?
That would be great, could market it in Hamtramck, MI as “Kapusta Kush”.
“Kraut Cobs”?
“Sauer* Diesel”?
No, those acids will act as organic chelators though if any come out, so win win? And kraut has lactobacillus
Hence your baking soda neutralizer.
Good call for hydro but shouldn’t be an issue if used with a living soil.
I think I’ve subscribed to too many seed banks and their marketing campaigns are wrecking me.
I’m growing every menthol strain I can find looking for a truly menthol flavor one. I will take over the hood like Newports.
I have liberated many 5 gallon buckets from behind restaurants.
Couldn’t stand the smell of the pickle ones. I prefer the corned beef.
The do-z-dos I just grew smelled like grape Kool aid until it got some cure to it, now it smells like berry jam and sandalwood. But that distinct artificial grape and sweet smell
My buddy had given me some buds he grew that smelled strongly of dill. I jokingly called it Kosher Kush (yes I know it is an unrelated variety).
I wonder how he did that as I had a F1 of Loco Heart (Loco Mota(m) x Purple Heart(fem)) growing in the same pot with a dill plant or two and didn’t catch a whiff.
It may have masked the odor but all through flower they were almost odorless.
If an organic way doesn’t work you could try two stand bys from our beer brewing buds.
Chlorox soak followed by water rinse x 3 then a rub down with full strength h2o2(3%) and let it sit for a few then rinse.
h2o2 neutralizes chlorine.
Or iodine wash.
There are menthol strains?!
I have mountaintop mint and menthol skunk freak that I’m hunting, I noticed a menthol scent on 2 of my freakshow, now that they are dry it’s gone, just fruity skunky smells. But that’s what made me think that maybe there could be minty strains. So the hunt has begun.
This wins the internet
I wouldn’t mind a finish with a dill smell. I did have some cultivars with that mid-flower but it never seems to make it to the end. Maybe it just gets overpowered with citrus. Similar to the occasional cedar.
I’ve had a few that had anise scents during flower but not at finish. I agree dill would be awesome
Hey what are those pickles like? Never tried em.
When I think pickles I smell dill
