Hey man welcome to the Forum, I might be able to help you out. Pm me your address and i will see what I can send
I live in papakura south of Auckland,good to see some fellow kiwis on here getting there shit together to stop paying ridiculous tobacco taxes by growing their own,the last price increase was enough for me to start growing it.
At the mo iv Been smoking some of my Virginia that's only about four weeks dry.I usually get a pinch of citric acid,a dash of maple syrup,same of glucose,about 2 ml alcohol,about 2 ml of home brew Jamaican rum flavour,and a couple of drops of anaseed ,with about half a cup of boiling water, mix it up, spray it on ,and crash dry it in the oven on about 100c,it comes out better than u think it would even tho it's still to green,it's saving me about $140 per week,and it's obviously not to bad if I've managed to get the Mrs smoking it too!!we usually smoke about 4 30grams a week(she's from down your way,in balclutha,my eldest daughter was born there to.)
,I've also been looking on line at a few different ideas on home made kilns,and ideas for cutting machines,the knife can be a bit ruff and thick at times,so if u have any cheap ideas,it would be much appreciated,and any burley or Turkish strains or whatever,I can send seeds back,( p.s. do strains cross when grown around each other)
thanks for you're time and email ,anything or any help from someone that's already made my mistakes would be much appreciated,..my address is -Auckland,nth island.
