Might consider this route then. And either give away the product or hash it, but i would do this first. What type of hash are you thinking?

Here is two examples of the pm! ones concentrated spots and the other is all over! The cannalope is the really frosty one with PM creeping on the fan leaves in really fuzzy spots with the bud shot! and sour kush I the fan leaves with an even base of Pm a crossed the leaves! I feel stupid for not seeing this! It happened fast! Must have brought spores in somehow!

i have pondered this option, i watched this vid in the past! would Butane clean it if i blasted it?

chewberto, sorry to hear about the pm , there is a product made by NPK industries, same makers of mighty wash, they sell a product called PM wash too, never tried it so I can't say how it works . If it works anything like mighty wash does with mites it's good shit. good luck.

They are still in the pots as of now! i haven't removed any fan leaves or anything! is there a company that can process a lb of straight bud for hash? for a legal patient? it would take me forever to do it and a bunch of tane too! i am pretty depressed about this! especially since i only have two week seedlings behind this harvest! another 3 months to go now!

 

[chewberto]

Also can i trim the buds and bag and freeze immediately for hash, so spores aren't getting thrown around while drying? i feel so contaminated and don't want that shit in open air anymore!

 

[dbkick]

I know this does no good now but may in the future. I've recently got real fucking tired of pests and implemented an atomist, cycle timer , fan , Riptide(pyrethrins) and an sns fungicide(thyme oil). it's strictly preventative . the riptide scent alone should deter bugs where the sns fungicide hopefully keeps the pm away . The atomist goes off once an hour for like 2 seconds , it's aimed at the front of a fan which blows it around the room a bit.

Just got out the list from American Clay works, and there is many treatments that are good up until day of harvest, maybe too late anyhow, but if you want i can post the pertinent info.

 

[chewberto]

Well suppose I want to just harvest and blast for bho! Can I just cut down and trim bag and freeze? Without drying?

 

[chewberto]

Also I'm painting the walls! What kind of paint for best reflection, cleaning, anti microbial or whatever? Flat, semi, glossy?

 

[Po boy]

Serenade works really well for pm. GL

I will let Chef answer the BHO questions, i don't know that stuff.
Now your paint question has several answers, best reflection in our use is flat white. Easiest cleaning is Semi-gloss (they do make kitchen and bathroom paint, but not sure of available sheens). Paint and primer in 1 is easier but dulls the reflection of the paint, i ended up recoating everything in straight flat white paint after doing the behr 2in1 on everything.
Anti-microbial paint is available, but i am not sure sheens again. I would head to home depot, knowing you are looking for an easy cleaning flat paint. Actually i would go to lowes and look into Olympic, but thats just personal preference. Don't forget primer! And if you haven't yet i would caulk the living hell out of everything, put a seal on the door.

So kinda two questions here: first will fresh flowers work for trim? Yes, actually we loose most of our terpines in the first ten days of drying so it would actually be quite delightful. Second: Will pm liquefy in tane? I'm not sure. I have read that some dry runs w pm have a moldy smell to them which makes me think yes, something is getting in there (maybe use a coffee filter since they are like 8 microns even tho u can't really measure how small the particles they actually filter out are since they're just a mish mash of fibers and pm spores are like 20 microns). But perhaps dissolving the bho in iso afterwords will be enough to get rid of the smell. Also two things to be aware of: first, fresh buds are what 80% water? The freezing point of butane is a monstrous -281F and will likely turn the buds into a block of ice seeing how as water freezes at a humble 32F. Second: if this does occur you could have a potentially explosive situation on your hands. Probably just blow the block outta the bottom of the extractor but you never know. Be careful. Don't jam pack that shit in there. And let us know the results. Finally mould and mildew spores are everywhere, including the air we breathe. So it will never be completely absent from any grow. But taking proper precautions will reduce the possibility of an outbreak. Does anyone know the optimal conditions for pm? I feel like humid warm conditions would increase the likely hood of spore propagation.

dont be slopping that paint on your floor.........

A quick scan of several gov't/academic agriculture sites say relatively the same thing.

60-80 °F (some say 50-70°F), poor air circulation, high humidity (I saw numbers saying 80-90% RH)...

All three plants are trimmed to the bud and hung now! perhaps the standing oscillating fan was knocked out of place! But I guess I need to get my set up more straitened out I added another light a month back or something! I am educated on the environments in which they thrive and have taken percautions My dehumidifier was on the whole time, set at no more than 50% rh so I can't explain why? That's what makes me really upset! I have to work all weekend and don't have time for this shit! I don't have the equipment to efficiently process a pound of flowers! This blows and who wants to help? Jk I wouldn't want to touch it to be honest, but I'm a clean freak about my product! I believe when the mug has been pm affected it kills the good smell of the bud, these smell so good I want to cry

 

[chef c]

Fuckin sux bud.

 

[woody333333]

are u running a fan on the floor?

 

[Big Trees]

You coulda tried horsetail tea its safe to spray on the buds too

 

[chewberto]

So do a 3-5 day dry and blast it is my instinct! Only thing It will take forever with a 15 inch tube!
