Yeah that smelly nelly and psychotropics would be a steal at £29 a pop.
Got a few orders on route, and once they arrive I might have a couple of dips.
His wine gums I did was excellent, I ran it twice and gave both cuts to a mate who did them outdoors and the blue cheese came though a hell of lot stronger on both cuts than when I ran them indoors??
Either way 2/3 were girls and both keepers, I just wish I’d made some seeds.
Unfortunately my mate doesn’t clone much so it’s gone now.
Shouts to KGbeans!!!
 
What’s anybody running for hash these days? Just got myself a machine and some new bags and I was well impressed with the yield from some mixed dry trim and popcorn, now I wanna do a run just for hash. Just wondering what U.K. available cuts people have run, or what strain people prefer for hash, quality over quantity but quantity matters abit too lol

Just popped into my room at lunch time (yes I live that close to work lol) to empty runoff as I was worried I was going to overflow.

more than 10Litres of runoff for 2 days that’s being fed 3x a day is a bit excessive so I’ve removed the 3rd feed for the day now.

2x feeds per day is plenty.

In case anyone is wondering.

0.9EC in
0.9EC out

i like to monitor runoff EC from time to time especially if I see
1. Leaf issues
2. Slow growth
3. If I’m getting later in flower to monitor when that spike happens (because it always does in coco) so that I can reduce my input solution as the plants needs diminish during late flowering.

I'm hoping to get the bluchi cut down today it's ready to harvest at 73/74 days.

(pic above taken 8/10 days ago)

A couple of clones for the next run + the 2 gelato seedlings.

One of the monster clones clearly this is the most vigorous one they're 47 days now._20220430_012238.JPG

The two gelato seeds sprouted 23rd April.

Nah, surprisingly the blues in the wine gums that were done outdoors came through much stronger than when I ran them indoors. Same cuts and both in soil. I just thought it was interesting.

I love it mate, your like an encyclopaedia of strains and strain history!
Am I correct in thinking that the blues came from a fella up north?

One I’d love to smoke again is Jordan, never heard much about it other than in an old ICmag thread called uk clone only’s or something similar. It was everywhere around 2002 to about 2007 then disappeared.

I recently got a machine and absolutely love it.
I only run trim and popcorn myself and occasionally a shit plant from outside.

It’s amazing how different strains give out more or less at different times. I ran some BA75 from karma and it was only on the 5th or 6th wash that it really started to give out.

The best tips I’ve found to be handy are;
- all mesh bags
- cut buckets for each bag you use, gradually taking less off each bucket (makes collecting each bag so much easier
- soak the material in the machine until it’s fully saturated which makes it less brittle so less contamination from plant matter.( longer soak depending on the bud size.
- run the first couple of cycles for 30 seconds to a minute. I usually put the first two runs to the side.

I hope your machine brings you as much joy as mine did.

Yeah your right northern england mate from a fella whose second name was livers hence the livers nickname as well as the blues one

One id like to try is the g a old tightly held ghani cut bigbhudda has s1 meant to be but anyone who grew both says its different i think that one was from Midlands also the dunk that was good nl x g13 supposedly never heard of the jordan tho i wonder what makes it

I’ll see if I can find the list, it’s interesting either way.
the Jordan was a super skunk cross I think?

My old man new an old fisherman in his 70’s who I think held a few decent clones, Lot 5 or something was a memorable one and his cheese was always top notch. Shame I moved overseas haha.

Here it is, https://www.icmag.com/threads/uk-clone-only-and-british-bred-strains.85318/
It’s a long one with plenty of squabbling but the list is excellent and pre-cookies!!!
Jordan and the G are both on there.

Thanks for the tips bro!

I had wanted the all mesh bags but they would of took an extra 3 days to come
Yeah the bucket per bag is gonna be the way I go from now on, I had 3 buckets, one bucket had holes cut in the bottom and held the 25 the next bucket had the bottom cut off and held the 45, I just stretched the 120 and 160 above the 45 bag. And it turned out that the 120 needed some work as I was pulling them so I wud of deffo benefitted from having the 120 in a half a bucket too.

honestly it’s got me so excited for the future, having allways loved hash but not had the material or the skill to process it properly I’ve allways relied on dam trips to get my hash fix. Now I’m willing to freeze a full room and make some live rosin.

If you YouTube “Frenchy Cannoli hash workshop” you will find a wealth of information and knowledge presented to you with absolute love for the craft. He was considered by many as the master.
 
I've only spent 7/8 days getting through a load of various trim and bud I'd been gathering crop after crop, by the time I was finished + what I'd picked up here and there this was my final method, it might help...

Without a bucket put all the bags inside each then i put carabiner clips through the eyes to keep them as one then put them aside, I then mixed a batch of buds/trim and filtered it into one bucket from the work bag then siphoned off the top 3/4 of water after it settles, I repeated this numerous times catching everything from the work bag into one 10ltr bucket then I filtered everything in one go, after the initial filtering I dipped them again into a bucket of fresh water to suspend the resin again and ensure the finer particles got through to the appropriate levels.

I use a syringe to gather the resin into one area of the bag rather than it spread around the mesh, once gathered I sit the mesh on tissue paper to draw the water out of the resin its very effective after 4/5 mins you can pick it off in one firm lump.

To dry it I put it on a silicone surface and broke it down roughly with a small spatula then gave it some time and went over it again after a few times it falls to dust when you touch it, at this point I put it in a oven bag and broke it all down to a powder with my fingertips.

I used the same oven bag to hand press it with a some heat.
