Today is Officially Day 1 of Flower!!!!
Planning to Harvest @ day 77 - July 9, 2014.
I pulled at day 70 last time and I feel it was a little to early (A little to racy for what we want). More likely it will be 75 - 78. depending on how I harvest this time around.

Made some delicous cookies with Infused Coconut Oil.
I made them a little more mild this time. Ratio = 1 oz Trim/ Larf: 1 Cup Coconut Oil.
Perfect high. GF didn't freak out and was able to eat half a cookie. I had two cookies spaced out about 3 hours and didn't make until 10:00 pm last night. Although, I was drinking at the pool all day as well.
Either way that is my new standard when making Infused Coconut Oil.

Quick Rundown on how I make my oil:
FYI Butter and Coconut Oil may be interchanged at 1:1 ratio.
Items Needed:
Crock Pot
Sifting Screen (Some Kind of Mesh Screen)
Coconut Oil
Larf/ Trim Mix
Water
Plastic Cup able to squeeze (this comes in handy later)
I use one of these:
Anyway...
Take 1 cup of coconut oil (melted) and place into the Crock-pot. Add 1 oz of larf/ trim mix. You will notice that the oil does not cover the mix. What i do is add ~ 2 cups of water or enough to cover the mix.
(Why this works... Oil does not mix with water. Because THC is not water soluble it will infuse only with the oil. Once Heated it will appear everything will mix together once the cooling process starts you see the oil separate from the water and other contaminants)
Place Crock-pot on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 4 hours. (This may also be left overnight on the warm setting)
(Science Note: THC has a boiling/ evaporation temperature of ~ 350 degrees f. Do not let the crock pot go over this or potency will begin to be lost)
After the Crock-pot has been off for ahhh let's say 30 min or so. Just long enough not to melt whatever final container you are using, but still warm/ hot. Take the mesh strainer and place over your final container. Slowly pour the contents of the crock-pot through the strainer and into the cup. You may add a coffee filter to make the end product cleaner but I just skip it. Once all of the mix is strained give the left over plant material a couple of squeezes with some tongs ***Caution this may be hot***. Place the cup in the fridge overnight. DO NOT put in the freezer to save time. End product will not separate properly.
Once Everything has cooled, separated and sat in the fridge overnight we are ready for the last step. I used a butter knife to scrap along the edges and help free up the puck. Pull it out scrape the underside with the back of the knife to get some of the scum off and then rinse under the sink. This needs to be stored in the fridge to maintain a solid state. Wrap it up in tin foil or plastic wrap.
You will end up with something like this:
***Disclaimer: I didn't take any pictures during my process. These were found on the internet. Also this image is showing a butter puck. But it will be very similar.***

5.6.2014 - Flower Day 6
Current Flower Nutes:
Gh Series - Gro, Micro, Bloom, Flora Nectar, Kool Bloom, Floralicous Plus
H2O2
Dutch Masters - Zone
Humboldt's Own - Crystal Burst (This will replace Kool Bloom around week 3 - 4. They are basically the same thing only CB is more potent).
PPM = 950 - 1100 depending on the day.
I have increased my Res to 20 gallons so I do not have to top off anymore. It's kinda cool to read the ppm's everyday because they differ depending on if it was hot, cool or just whatever. Sometimes they drink more water sometimes they eat more nutes. However, my ph still swings every few days.
PH = 5.5 - 5.8
Using only Tap Water. (PPM is usually ~ 200 - 300)
Here are the pics. Tried to get a little creative with the pictures. The stretch has started nicely and the secondary screen is a big help to keep them at the same height. I did what I am thinking is the final trimming on them. Here are the before and afters:

No I'm not that skilled, lol. I didn't pay for it. We have a bunch at work so the boss gave it to me.

Thank you for Kind Words Guys!
I did the last round of Tucking over the weekend. They are starting Week 3 Tomorrow. Rez Change Tonight with Pictures. Also, The veg girls survived, well 4 of the 6, after the attack of gnats and root aphids and whatever the hell else was eating them. I'll grab some pics of those too.
They will be the first run of SNOG (Landrace Sativa x Indica OG | 20/ 80 Indica Dom) <----Supposedly I have never run this so we shall see.

Well I forgot to bring the memory chip today so just imagine that everything looks great going into week 3, lol.
On a side note.... In case this ever happens to someone.
I have those yellow gnat traps around the house... Leaned into one unknowingly and had to rip it off my hair. Well that sticky shit doesn't come off.
What worked = Olive Oil. Used it like shampoo then used shampoo took it right out. Man that was fustrating.

5.13.2014 = Day 13.
Same Nute line up with the addition of Crystal Burst. I am using half Kool Bloom and Half Crystal Burst Now.
Also, because of the heat the girls are drinking water way to fast and I will need to dilute them tonight. PPMs jumped by 150 over night. I am noticing slight burn but that was when the PPMs were at 1400.
Current PPM = 1150
PH = 5.72
FYI I have normal size thumbs
Here are the Veg girls well on their way to recovery. I am trying to get the mother plants back to health so that I can take clones and throw them outside. Here is the "SNOG"
Oh and if anyone is curious about my feeding regiment:
20 gal Res
Nute Ratio = 14 gal
So about 70% Strength
GH Series Recirculating + Crystal Burst. My personal regiment varys slightly but still pretty close. I cut out Rapid Start and use Zone and I don't have diamond nectar or dry Kool Bloom. So like I said a little different. Also I drop off all gro once flowers start to stack.
