Well as some of you know No1 and No3 my most vigorous kids
turned out to be fellas :roll:
So I had to do what every good dad does at times like these and outright kill them.
Chopped em off right at the bottom of the main stalk and removed them from my Grow Room forever!
But now I have these two really bushy plants and Um... what do I do with them?
The answer was HERE
The fellas had been hanging upside down and were getting pretty crispy so I chomped em down even more and put em in a bag in my closet.
Opened up the bag when I got home and tossed em around some (like a salad) and closed the bag again when I went to work.
Now they are all dried out and really crispy and re read the instructions to be safe.
OK I got myself some 91% juice and went to work.
all the cuttings stems etc fit into my wonderful Cuisinart Blender
added alcohol to cover and blended for exactly 70 seconds
(there is a timer thing on my blender)
Strained thru a nylon looking forever coffee filter
then squeezed that thru another regular paper coffee filter
Took a pinch of the leafy material from the first filter an tossed it in to help sop up the stuff that evaporated out.
(i think it said to do that if you wanted)
I might add I did have a spill and it was electric neon green on the paper towel that I used to wipe it up.
but the concentrated liquid remained black as did the dried results.
Sat in sun on 80F day for 6 hrs.
(note: use a screen or like me a grease splash thingy for over a frying pan to keep the bugz out)
saw some evaporation but not as much as hoped.
Then put on floor in basement and ran a pretty powerful fan into the container.
This worked a LOT better and saw almost all liquid gone by later that night.
Its sitting there now waiting for me to get home
hopefully it will be dry enough to sample.
It did not smell bad (but not real good either)
I wonder in the wisdom in this.
Pot does not make THC at the stage of growth (pre-flowers and just beyond) and there is even less if any on males.
But people do this so I did too.
I will report on this side adventure after I get home from work.
Hopefully it will get me high, but not from a lack of oxygen due to the smoke.
Laters:mrgreen:

Man sorry about the males but sounds like youve had fun with the hash oil method! I'd love to hear how that pans out as im going to attempt to make hash with the stems and leaves etc of my girls when i cut them down.

Those pictures look fantastic, your doing such a great job! Theyre really beginning to fill out!

Thanks Lacy, Hope all your bug problems went away.
Hmm first time I said that to a girl and not felt itchy...lol

Again Thank you, I actually expected more males with unfeminized seed.
I think 5 of 7 being female is pretty lucky.
About the "hash"
finally dried out completely so I smoked some.
was not harsh but like I said above about smell
It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste good either
I think I had a slight buzz? but I had been smoking some AK earlier, so who knows.
I will smoke some when I am completely straight and see then if it was worth it (not like it cost anything but time)

Thank you again everyone :joint:passes

WOW!!!! That is damn professional looking alto. My jaw is dropping looking at those beautiful pictures! They've come a far way since they were last in those rockwool cubes at day 1. What a great journal!!! I wish you the best of luck, don't think you are going to need it though :mrgreen:. I'll be in touch.

Btw, thanks for that link on the GH Flush. I think I'm going to use that as well. Looks like really good stuff.

They sure do, if anything I learned to be patient and work hard to not overdo stuff.

I will for sure. It looks like it would do the job well from all I read.

Thanks as always for the support Toolage, you were here from before day 1
still about 5 or so weeks to go, so I guess they will be giant by then barring any misfortune.

Heh no you don't, just wait till you have that first good hit.
Then it will all have been worth it dude.
Maybe grow some faster Indica next round and have both highs available in your stash?

Room Conditions:
LIGHTS (400W HPS) ON 12/12 (9am to 9pm)
Distance from top of Growing Medium 26" (11” to top of canopy)

Raised front only on light fixture to better light up Emily

Room/Light vent running-
YES - 24/0
Small room fan

Water Conditions:
Reservoir Aeration running-ALWAYS
Temperature – 58.3F

Nutrient Solution:2 GAL.(early bloom mix)5-21
20.0ML Flora Nova BLOOM™
2.0ML Floralicious Plus™
20.0ML FLORABLEND ™Vegan Compost Tea
1 teaspoon PyroSol™ Silicate Clay
1 teaspoon Epsom Salt


Top off Mixture:
2 gallon water
10ML Flora Nova BLOOM™
2.0ML Floralicious Plus™
20.0ML FLORABLEND ™Vegan Compost Tea
1 teaspoon PyroSol™ Silicate Clay
1 teaspoon Epsom Salt
2 teaspoon KoolBloom™

Of this added 1 gallon to reservoir
Resulting readings were:

Plant Height:

Emily – 22”
Sandi – 14”
Mona – 19”
No7 – 17”
No4 – 18.5”

Notes:
They just keep growing like weeds

Emily was starting to get a bit close to the light
I was not worried about burning as it stays real cool with the air cooling
But she was not getting as much light being she was growing past the fixture
So I raised the front chain about 2” and now the light is shining on her great

Above I recorded the way I top off the reservoir.
I mix a batch of nutes, add what is needed to reservoir and re-test levels
Adjusting as needed.
I have been introducing a Bloom Booster “KoolBloom” in the top off mixture
Next reservoir change will see an added amount of this booster in the mix.
Some more bud child porn for you all to look at below
