I think there's a few of them around, in various sizes. IIRC ROC "outposts" were no more than 10 miles apart so the whole UK is littered with small, "3 man", bunkers which were a bugger for damp, and obviously you had bigger ones as "control rooms" in major cities, then you step up in size as you go "regional" and "national". I know quite a few of the bigger ones were snapped up years ago and are used as secure server/data storage rooms, many of the biggest ones are still in official MOD use, but you can still buy the small "prison cell" ones, for they were not exactly much bigger than a standard UK prison cell, for, well, £20 grand with a wonderful view near the Tweed in Scotland.

And morning all, the sun is shining and soon it's out and about to a local "neighbourhood party/junk sale" then rest before the F1 from Texas. Looks awfully like Pandora will be chopped tomorrow, things are so cloudy I'm surprised there's no lightning to be seen, and it looks like Maria has a bit of Scots in her because it looks like she'll be wee, short and fat going by growth so far.

One is satisfied.

Theres quite a few types of old military complex available around the world. That one looks just the right size. And 20k Pound is not that much. A new car is more than that. I'd be always worrying about water and mold if I were underground though.

So I've gotten really interested in water curing lately and I am currently in the process of curing a half. The point where it gets tricky is, due to limited experience by other growers, no one seems to have found a way to preserve aroma, flavor, or appearance. Some suggested methods have been wrapping the buds in foil or giving them an 8-10 hour rinse, either way the cure our reduced to 8 hours up to 7 days versus months, but there is a massive lack of anecdotal evidence to support these methods. Growers have even reported the water cured buds to either be the most potent and smoothest smoke or the worst tasting they have ever had.

I don't really know of good a starting point for really realizing the full(?) potential of water cure by minimizing the cure time and maintaining flavor and smell. The reports of increased or reduced potency aren't enough to go on without, in my opinion, a test of air dried versus water cured flower from two identical clones from a lab. Again, based on inconclusive anecdotal research growers have even suggested cycling aerated water in while not agitating the trichomes.

Idk what to do lol

I think the basic idea is that the "bad stuff" (salts and plant sugars) are taken into the water instead of digested like in air curing. The two methods I read about were to soak in a closed jar for 1/2 a day, or to put it in a large bowl with a trickle of clean water for several hours and then soak it for a few more. I think loss of flavor is inevitable with soaking, most people say they do it only to combat mold or if they want weed that don't stink for public use.

edit: I did a pretty severe dip process with warm water once for a mold problem. I could smell the trichomes in the water and in the air. Use room temp or colder water.

These ROC posts were remarkably good for water and mould if maintained properly because they were "self ventilating" when "manned but not sealed" and maintained properly. They were designed to survive a near direct hit so, obviously given when they were built, were somewhat over-engineered in the strength and sealing department.

Getting it rigged up for mains power is the awkward bit, you had a phone line and a genset to charge batteries/run the low voltage lighting, but you had the shaft, a small closet/thunderbox, and the main room WITH ventilation "ducts" so say you're wanting a supply so you can use the post as a secure server room, meaning you'll need airco and so forth, and you could feasibly turn that into a little grow space.

A Seedsman strain.

Hmm, I wouldn't expect a non-auto strain from them, but I've come across it elsewhere from another breeder where there were some non-autoing seeds went out instead of autos. Perhaps it depends how many generations have been bred and it's a throwback to the photo version? You could switch it to 12/12, or I think there was a "treatment" of 48 hours dark, 5 days 12/12 to get it kickstarted then it was able to go back to 18/6 or whatever. Can't find it at the mo though, but if/when I do I'll tag you!

If i ever win the lottery I'll fly all my AFN buddies over to see the real Australia....i would love to share some of my homegrown with you guys

I'd love to live in Oz but I don't have deep enough pockets for a Golden Ticket...

I try to never take the beauty of where i live for granted. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I will try and get some pics for you guys @Mañ'O'Green

That is a wonderful ideology! Me too for the pics please...

I will try to get a few pics of the landscape in which i live tomorrow, i think my wife still has some pics of some of the rock art i have found on her computer, if I can find them I will put a couple up and tag you.
