oh the iso hash is super easy, I will type how I do it and I will take pics my next run..........just take your plant material ( I use males, leaves from when I harvest, stems, shake, anything that might have a thrich) put it all in a jar, then pour in 91% isopropyl alchohol, enough to cover all the material ( I have used the 70%, the 91% works better) put on the top and shake for 20-25 seconds, then I strain thru a metal coffee filter( the normal paper ones work, but I bought one for this purpose) I strain it into a glass baking dish. the liquid will be green or maybe brown in color, you can then just let it sit for about 36 hours so the alchohol evaporates, or I personally use my wifes blow dryer,takes about 20 minutes, once all the liquid has evaporated you will be left with a brownish film on the bottom of the dish, use a razor blade to scrape it all up and form it into a ball, and there you have it, there is a running thread on the method on icmag if I find the link i will post it for you..........as far as the purps I thought about building a veg chamber, but the only true way to keep the genetics forever is with seed, so I will probably start some and whatever females I get I will leave them to flower until they seed.........:hump:

yo get out of here! i cannot believe its that easy bro...oh my god im so pissed at my self for not knowing that... i could've had so much fucking hash its not even funny man....thanx so much for da info bro...and if u find the link i'd really appriciate it...can i get that 90% alchohol any where? im gonna try and learn how to post pics so u can see my plants and my little aerogarden it works like magic when it comes to starting seeds..i started a seed 13 days ago and i've never seen anything grow so fast and healthy the seedling is about 6 inches tall with 5 internodes i really want u to see them so if it comes down to it and i cant post them on here i can send them to your email if u want? i'll let u know if cant post them..talk u later bro...peace

what up guys a few quick updates, first off another thing not too due DONT MIX YOUR NUTES WHEN HIGH:wall:....I fucked up and really burned some leaves, everyone will survive...........otherwise everything is working fine:clap:...I dont have much to report the system seems to be working so its just about waiting for the harvest now, but even with the nute burn it is looking very good, I plan to add a wolfman type carbon filter to the dryer/airscrubber, oh one other thing my most recent batch of seedlings (fastly aproaching 3 weeks old stretched alot more than all of the previous ones, so I am wondering if its time to buy some new bulbs, how often do you guys change yours?...........

anyway the pics below are of a mom and her clone I still cant get why people say you need 24 hours of light to clone, as you can see the clone is as tall as the mom, and has bud sites all the way down to the soil line they are both about 12-14 inches tall.... this clone was taken on 08/15 so less than 30 days ago and already as tall as the mom and budding:weed:

hey and im too sure about this but from what ive read n heard from other growers they say every six months but like i said im not sure i only use cfls for clonig n starting seeds, so the ones i have here are like 9 months old but i dont use them all da time so their okay i guess...oh n one thing u can try to do so u can save money is go buy like 4 new blubs like the ones u have and take like 1 or 2 of your old ones and put them back in da box and return them to the store if they ask why just say that they didnt fit your sockets, they shouldnt give u a problem.. i've done it plenty of times with random items... the worst thing they can do is tell u no but its worth a shot...good luck

nothing major, I think I may pull one of the clones and just use it for hash its not doing well since the nute burn totally stunted some pics below.....everyone else is doing fine my next 3 to be harvested are looking pretty good, since I water so often with the small containers, I am only going to flush for a week so they will continue to get fed for another week or so, I say my first amber thrich on 2 of them today. I think when I chop them they will all be about 70 days old

nothinig major guys just did some thinking and my magic number is 21, that is the number I can confotably grow in my cab, I can CRAM 28 but I think 21 will work better, anyway everything is everything:-P, buds still growing etc....I have some seedlings that will be showing soon. males for hash any non males will be topped goal is to keep 21 at all times, every spot filled with a seed or a clone...just took a few snapshots of some of the other plants in the box some seedlings a clone, and the mom of the clone all look very very healthy IMO.............just wanted to recap a few things I have learned so far

1. you dont need 24 hours of light to clone, all my clones only received 11.5 hours of light
2. you dont need faancy powders or gels to clone all i do is cut and put in a jiffy pellet and a make shift humidity dome
3. cfls must be 1-2" away, my plants start maybe 12 inches away from the closet bulb ( I am going to measure and get an accurate number) I experience minimal stretch IMO

Just did a bunch of reading to get caught up in here.. Everything looks great D, cept for the minor nute burn.. Did you harvest for hash ? Just curious...

I still have the bulk of my "2 months flowering" left, but I'm going to take me a clone or two and reveg them out for a bit to be potential moms..I'm a follow your cloning method just adding a "special fancy powder" just to make me feel better.. as for the jiffy pellets.. I'm planning to use distilled water and a drop or two of superthrive.. Any thoughts ?

Can't wait to see a harvest man !!

so i finish with the little closet I have in my master bathroom and I love it, there's a great fan that sucks the smell nicely and the temp never goes over 88/90, i cant believe i didn't use this thing before but oh well, it's a 3 level motherfucker and i currently have 7 ak47, 3 sativas and 2 indica clones, The seeds i started a few weeks ago are now 4 healthy baby plants and they are chillin and veggin with the mothers and some other clones I'll veg for a bit, my new flower closet allows me to let them get a little tall since all the shelves are adjustable...

actually it just taste like mexcan brick, maybe a little better, so its not that bad.........on a sad note, I dont think I caught the nute burn in time on 3 of my ladies they are all more sativa and took the nute burn really hard, I may have to pull them and just use them for hash as they have just stopped growing the pots that had the soil mix in them didnt fair as bad as these did.sucks but what can you do, fortunatley I still have other plants that are doing great........

B921, soory to hear the bad news about your grow.
From experiance hempy buckets dont do well with
micro grows. I think its due to the small containers
and the ferts every watering, causes crazy ph and fert
problems. I am going through the same thing, plants are
all messed up with burns. Next time I will stick with soil
and sog in small containers.

I was thiking the same thing, i never had this problem with larger hempy buckets, so I may add more soil to the mix maybe 3 parts soil 2 parts perlite, the ones that have some of the seedlig soil faired alot better:wall:........but I wil press on I have to snatch 3 or 4 plants sux cause they are so late into flower but the damn burn killed any chance of a decent yield with them so I am going to pull them get what litte bud I can and make hash wth the rest............I gues I am just going to do pretty much the exact same as dr bud on ic mag except i wont be using moms and clones........... thanks for chiming in brother

sorry i havent been updating guys its been pretty busy for me,I experienced some set backs ith the nute burn, so I had to rethink and retool, my solution is as stated prior that I need to do more of a conventional soil type sog grow, so I picked up some organic soil from my local garden center I am going 3 parts soil 2 parts perlite soil has worm castings and some other goodies in there, should be pretty good looked and felt good in my hands, I will have to feed them less often in soil etc........I put holes on the bottoms of the containers, I am going to transplant soome plants that arent to far along, I have a few ladies flowering still and some clones and some seedlings I need to fill 3 more spots to get back up to 21, I am also experimenting cloning in 100% perlite, I will let you guys know the method if it works, otherwise I will probably post pics tomorrow or later tonight once I am back up to speed
