Hotphyre's Perpetual Grow

[Howard Stern]

Well a little update- I have been pretty busy this last week with trimming and drying and burping, lol.

The buds all in all are a great high.

i didnt get the weight i wanted do to i had some really cold temps for about a week and a half, i think i shocked them or something.

The white widow is realy strong and i think i let it get a little more amber b/c only one day of curing and the weed knock me on my ass. But i didnt yeild to much of it for some reason. I got 1.5 ounces i was execting more like 3 but oh well. The buds are small but very dense and compact. and every day the smell gets stronger and stronger in the jar. I havent tried it today but probly will tomorrow.

The headband will its a great smoke im smokeing on it now, but the buds are light and airy, they lok like shit, but the high is really hands down. its a very strong high also but more of a head high, but if you smoke enough it will put you out on the counch or zoning off. It taste good and isnt harsh at all. I had 4 plants and got a average of 1.3 ounces per plants like i said before this number was really low to my expectations but hey im happy and have weed to last me until next harvet.

And with saying that i just started the next batch today, they are currently in the first dark cycle!!

Tonight ill update with pics.

i have one of each strain in the flowering room- Powerwalker, Banana Kush, Afgan Kush, Og Kush, Redneck, Skywalker.

I also plan on doing some butter out of the headband trimming and hopefully if i find a screen fine enough to make a keif box and use the white widow trimmings for that.

1.3 to 1.5 isn't that bad bro! I know it isn't what you expected but it is what it is so no use in getting pissed about it. Unless you can figure a way to get more out of your plants so you can use this as a learning experiance. Maybe veg for longer? But like I said it isn't a bad haul. I am glad your weed is knocking you on your ass! Nothing like enjoying the fruits of your labor. I mean you are sitting on almost 7 oz's of weed so that can't be too bad! Especialy if it is good weed. Looking forward to the update brotha. I will be taking my K/F down to the big room today so I will get some snap shots of them.

i know the quantity issue, i just delt with that on our first ak-48s, AMAZING bud but very low yields, even indoors with almost perfect conditions and blasted with nutes in a 70/30 coco/black gold mix, with extra perlite and under a good amount of light and some co2 bags. YA!!!!! Keif boxes are my favorite!!! i just make kief balls lol. Oh ya my cloner totally is just a pond pump from harbor freight with the sprinkler attachment on, i originally bought some pvc and little red sprayers but i got the wrong red ones, i got the 360 jets ( SUCKS BALLS ) not the 360 sprinkler ones, so i put on the little attachment that came with the pump and its been working great. Pump was only 20 bucks too for a 358 GPH, my girl also gets the employee discount at harbor freight, one of the reason i keep her around lol j/k shes cool..... Anyway cant wait for that picture update of the girls and the yard, i love landscaping, i actually refer to it as outdoor Architecture lol and people make fun of me for it, but they dont understand lol. Sorry about the yield but like ya said at least you got weed till the next harvest and thats whats most important, our aks also only got 1.3 ozs a plant too. Hope next round treats ya better, at least ya got some nice widow to make the time pass quickly lol BTW what headband are ya runnin? I LOVE HEADBAND!!! shitty it turned out bad lookin.

Im running the 707 headband clone only from cali. Ya im going to look into designing a bigger cloner and that pond pump sounds brilliant with the sprinkler attachment.

Ya it really airy do to to low of temp and not enough air movement withthe lights are off. So i changed my system around and working like a champ cant wait to see the yeilds now lol.

also bought a 6in x 6in keif box from a buddy brand new, and i used a coffee grinder to ground up trim i than put in my little keif box than i collected off one white widow plant 5grams of keif off the trimmings and only got 3 grams off of 4 headband plants trimmingd lol. I love the high off headband but shit im glad im done with the strain.

than i had about 60grams of ground up trimmings than is on the boil right now with 2lbs of butter.

also mad a little hot pressed hash with some of the keif and it worked pretty good.

setting them up and knocking them down i like it. your real organised, my tent is alll but empty, gonna have to pull my finger out, lol. nice work hp

 

[ZenithXalaga]

How do you make keif from trimmings? And where did you get the blue cheese from? Everyone swears by it so I wanna get some seeds in the future

well i have a 6in. x 6in kief box i bought from a water pipe/ciggy store, i just get the dry trimmings and chop them up real quick in a coffee grinder not really fine just enough to break up leaves, than run it thru the kief box, and the left over trim i use for butter and keep the kief for bowl toppers.

I bought the blue cheese seed from, HERE

but i bought the single pix and mix

Thanks dude just trying to roll thru the grows lol.

I should be getting better yeilds this go around

 

[ZenithXalaga]

I've never heard of a kief box before thanks man!

 

[NONHater]

Short and stacked just like I like em!

 

[HotPhyre]

I've never heard of a kief box before thanks man!

ya i can take a picture in a min a put it up. ITs really nice to have a fairly cheap tp make if ur handy like that.

 

[HotPhyre]

So it has 3 different layers. all have magnets so the layers stick together.

top layer is see thru glass, than middle layer is a screen, than the bottom is a catch try with a mirror so its easy to get all of the kief with a credit card/scraper.

 

[ZenithXalaga]

Do you just shake it when the chopped up leaves are in it? That's what I was wondering about how the kief is extracted.

 

[HotPhyre]

ya i shake it side to side for about 20 shakes give one good tap on a hard surface to get all kief off of screen and change out the trimmings.

you can shake more or less just depends how much green particles you want in, i really dont care since its all personal use, but i try to make it as golden brown as i can.

the more green it is the more leaf is in it but fuck it lol.

 

[HotPhyre]

Believe me this isnt any work at all to get keif really very simple and no work envolved.

I use to hand ground trimming and that sucked lol.

I love this cheap ass coffee grinder and the keif box makes it so you dont have to have a big screen and use ur hands and rub the trim.

 

[ZenithXalaga]

How long do you grind the trimmings for? I wont be getting a fraction of yield you're getting so I have to make sure im using every last bit of the plant that I can. Do you use different trimmings to make the cannabutter? Or can you use the leaves after going through the kief box?

Ya i put trimmings in a coffee grinder, just so there chopped up and i take them out, usually itsa a bunch of half leafs than as soon as they looked in little peices i take out maybe 3 sec. of chopping.

than put the trmmings thru the kief box - than after the trimmings have been thru the keif box i use the same trimmings for making butter. i usually used about 30grams of trimmings that has been thru the keif box to 1 lB. of butter.

I have a fuck load of dry leaves from the buds right now! I am thinking about getting some cheap bubble hash bags off ebay to make some hash for my paitent. Your plants look good bro, did you veg them for longer this time to try to improve your yeild?

 

[ghb]

i want a keif box, easiest way to get hash. bubble bags give nice product but a pain in the ass and messy, NICE JOB!

Ya they have veg. for 6weeks, but i dont think it was the veg time, i didnt have the proper vent set-up dude leading to airy spacing little pop corn buds all around.

I know reg. the air going in before in the dark period the air would get shut off and only fans inde would be on so i had no exchange. that lead to extreamly cold temps inthe night period, and not enough co2/air exchange

i ahve perfected it now, and expect this grow to be amazing lol.

 

[HotPhyre]

Ya you can make hash out of kief with now problems, i made a litle last night with about a gram of kief, using a warm knife and a ziplock in about 10min. it was really simple and effective
