i wont even try and expand on what altered already said doobieous, as he pretty much hit it on the head..
thanks for the tips on the curing and all.. i just went ahead of cut one of the small popcorn buds to do a test run on my drying and curing skills, and also to see where everything is potency wise.. i have to give it up to people who have large crops.. jessu.. that trimming stuff is no joke.. i was trying to get all of the leaves cut as close into the bud as possibe, but that is not so easy when the scissors are constantly sticking together as a result of all the trics building up on them.. i have always read about peps saying how much of a joy that trimming is, not, and tonite i got a small taste of what they are talking about.. don't get me wrong, would much rather have sticky scissors rather than having to buy my own bud all the time. lol
o yah.. i do have one ? for you doobieous... i was planning on buying a set of bubble bags in the near future, like mayb a week or two, and was wondering if there is a way that i should be storing my trim till i get the bags? right now i just have them sitting in a darkish room, spread out on a magazine to dry out some.. i know that last year i had put some outside grown leaf in a plastic trash bag right after the chop, and what a mistake.. stinkarooni.. got all moldy and nasty and just ended up tossing the whole mess in the trash. so i wanted to be sure not to repeat that mistake again..
and that's bad luck with you not getting any better and getting worse, that doesn't make me feel good at all.. i don't like to hear that nice people have to suffer from health issues.. hope it gets better for you soon though.. and trust me, i understand cabin fever all too well as i've been a lil depressed getting laid off from work and don't leave the couch let alone the house for most of the day..

Trimming can be tedious at times. I found these spring loaded scissor type things at walmart called Fiskars. I use them to cut clones, prune, and trim. One of the better investments I've made. Trimming is WAY easier with these things.

very kool altered.. thanx for the tip.. i had already had a pair of fiskars from my job, but they aren't the spring loaded type, so i guess i will have to go out and invest a little in them.. you are like the second person who mentioned them, so i think that on wednesday i shall b hearing those infamous words... " welcome to walmart"

I guess Altered's having a nail it on the head day because he nailed it right on the head with the Fiskars. Your trimming will get faster and better with experience, eventually it becomes almost second nature, kind of like driving. You can lie out your trim on a magazine to dry, I use paper bags.

When you make your bubble hash do not use a drill to agitate or a hand mixer, it will break the trichomes off and break those trichomes down, which will not give the best hash. Get yourself a big plastic or wooden cooking spoon and gentley stir it up for 10-20 mins, this will get you better quality, run your trim 2-3 times to get it all. You should have more full melt hash being more gentle.

I'm sorry to hear about the depression, but I understand dude. It'll get better, just try not and focus too much on the negativity. If you ever need to talk Racer you are more than welcome to private message me.

As far as my health, yeah it's been rough but at least I have a great support system, through my friends stranger or not (Including ya'll), my girl and my dog lol. So it's not too bad, although the cabin fever can be a bitch lol. Anyhow I hope that your depression gets better and that things start looking up for you Racer, big hugs :hug:!

how your girls looking doobs?

My girl's are looking like.....

This....



And this....



The top picture is the faster developing one that has more Indica in it, that one's coming down soon here (One of her branches straight up broke, thank god for duct tape lol). The lower one is the one that's gonna need some more time, because it's got more Sativa traits to it.

Sorry for the funky colors but I took pics of them inside the closet, so it's just the flash reacting to the HPS lol. I took a sample of the more Indica one and yeah it was nice, real nice.... Had a real good taste already so the after flush taste should be damn good :weed:.

Edit: The pics are just of the main colas, it's kind of difficult to get a good full pic because I can't take it out of the closet and when they're in the closet I have to back up a lot and stand in a funky position, which I can't really do right now.

Looking good doobs. How long have they been in flowering now?
Click to expand...
Thanks Mental :mrgreen:, they've been in flower since the 15th of June so 8 weeks on the 10th, going to harvest one in a couple of weeks, the other one will be harvested 2-4 weeks after the original one.

These two plants are both Black Domina, but they are about as different as night and day (Unstable genetics :-|). The only thing they have in common is the trichome production, which is really nice :weed:.

I took a sample off of the one that's going to be harvested soon, and yeah it's about there. It tasted really great surprisingly enough, real hashy and sweet, so after the flush and cure it'll be real nice :hump:.

man, doob's... they are some sweet looking nugs to say the least.. and i thought i got some funky pix under my lamps, but most of mine have that wave look to them that i see alot of on here.. i am not sure, but i guess ever the lamps or the light itself has some affect on the camera.. and then alot of times when i try to take a pix with the lights out i end up with a nice snap of my white wall at the back of my closet.. or the other day i got a nice one of the bottom of my lamp, lol..
i am not sure if you have said this b4 or not doobs, and if you have sorry.. i know that you use a 250 hps and all, but what kind is it? i saw in your tutorial for the doob's cooler that it looked like you have 1 like mine.. so can't remember the name of mine.. damn short term memory blows, lol, but mine is one of those hoody chumpies with the glass and reflector all built in, and i even think the ballast is part of the hood.. was just curious about what you use, and those plants look super kick ass.. and the indica dom plant is going to take like ten or so weeks, and the other almost like 3 months? that sounds like a long time for a more indica dom strain to me, but then again what do i know..

I use a Floralux system, it has two vents and the glass, and the ballast is on the light system itself and not separate.

The strain is Indica dominant but also has 4 way parentage. Just like having kids, just because the father has blonde hair doesn't mean the child will be born with blonde hair too, it could have red hair from the mother. Plants are the same in that aspect, you'll get some plants that exhibit more Sativa than Indica, regardless of the strain itself being Indica dominant.

Sativa's take longer to mature, 12-14 weeks, Indica's 8-10, since one of the plant's is showing more Indica I know to take her down sooner, the other that's showing more Sativa (Trichome developement and leaves) I'm going to give it longer because it's not ready at all.

Thanks for the compliment Racer, that's always appreciated :mrgreen:.
