Oh No - Damn - I wish we were near and I could have raised those 14 foster kids for ya! I love the Sour D - the one strain I would LOVE to grow - but can't get my hands on any! I suppose I would have wound up in the same boat as you with it! Damn - I guess that one really is an OD strain.

Yea Lion it was hard to do, but better for me in the long run.
If i would have put those 14 in there, in a matter of a couple weeks they would have turned my room into a jungle, blocking out the light for the rest of the units.
Ultimately, i want to get 4 strains with 3 post units that finish within the 9 weeks and stay manageable. That way i can bring the lights down just above the net canopy.

Stink! I want your secrets on bubble hash. Done it a handful of times now and have had bad results everytime but one. Yields have been very low when compared to the quality of trim going in.
1lb of fresh nice trim today only gave up 5.2gr total. 3.3 of which was bubble quality. However, 5.2 over 454 is just over 1%
Give me all your tips you have figured out on the way.
You know... like "mix your junk in a separate 5-gal bucket--dont do it in the one with your expensive bags!" and "extracting more than 3 times is... dumb" or maybe "less is more when it comes to ice" anything spark a bell?
Does dollar-bill-texture dry trim work the best? I'm guessing that will solve my low yield issue. I've tried every other variation except for the same fresh frozen trim. It must stick harder.
Of course I'm curious on avg yield based on weight.. I'm guessing you get around 5%? I will shit a brick if you get 10! I must be doing something horribly wrong to consistantly get 1% when others claim no less than 5%+!

hey everyone, i was reading on page 18, about the gravity of water, i was thinking, maybe you could have a reservior of 50 gallons or something, and when the water is running through the fence posts, the runoff would be collected in a rubbermaid tub and then the pump only has to pump that water up and over the lip of the 50 gallon reservoir, the only thing that i could see that needs to be thought out is to figure out how to stop the flow every 5 minutes and then how much water can the water be pumped back into the reservoir without overflow. just a thought.

Did it end up working? Did you get seeds? I was wondering the pic you had of them in the cup. Were they mature enough?Here is how I did just what you guys are talking about last year. Look at post 6 and you will see pics.

its called damping-off fungus. disease that attacks young seedlings and cuttings. Causes stems to rot at the base: over watering is the main cause in dirt. In the neo collars its more prone on the thiner neo collars cause the water from the powerfull mist manages to get halfway up the stem and rots it then they tip over. I took off branches and lowerd them into the neo more and they were fine. or stinkbud says to put baking soda on them at the rot spot to fix. I also used peroxide and it foamed and bubbled like it was infected on the rot. The foam collars are thicker and dont do that as much. hope this helpsi tried finding it with the search but it doesnt work, i know its in here somewhere but heres the problem in my veg unit right above my neoprene collars my blueberrys stalk is shrunk down a little and brownish. its only on the one strain tho. i remember stink saying something about carfully shavin the brown off. but i dont remember what else. right now im cleaning out the roughnecks and whatnot, one was so bad i just chopped off the roots and stuck it back in the cloner, another i shaved the brown off and just put a new collar on it above the problem. anybody wanna save my day?

Yeah, that was just the male pollen sacs. They stayed in the cup like a clone or something for like 2 weeks and the pollen fell on the glass and was collected. I then took it outside to the female and pollenated one branch. I got about 20 seeds.Did it end up working? Did you get seeds? I was wondering the pic you had of them in the cup.

I just weighed my last batch and it was a little under 6gms. I made it from the leaf of one complete harvest. I don't weigh the leaf but it fills up a brown grocery bag after I take out all the stems.Stink! I want your secrets on bubble hash.

The best quality bubble is from fresh trim. If you don't have time to make the bubble right away just freeze it and make it later.
I only strain the leaf twice. I use 4 bags so I end up with three different types of hash. They are all good and very potent.

got it fixed, it was definetly due to over watering, some stoner must have bumped my super senstive knobs on the cap timer and it was going at about 1 min on and 1.5 min off. were back to 1 on 5 off and everythings lookin good. damn these knobs are touchy half a millimeter is 2 min.

Thanks. That matches up decent with what I'm seeing. Guess everyone else is lieing! Potency and purity is the name of our game. Plus I slapped that green mess in the crock pot and whipped up some cannabutter! I think I got it all.

They probably have more of the plant matter mixed with the trichomes.Thanks. That matches up decent with what I'm seeing. Guess everyone else is lieing! Potency and purity is the name of our game. Plus I slapped that green mess in the crock pot and whipped up some cannabutter! I think I got it all.
When you use fresh trim vs. dried you end up with virtually no plant matter. I also only mix by hand.
I put the trim in a bucket with ice water. I have a short piece of left over fence post that I use for mixing.
I set in front of the TV and mix the batch like I'm churning butter. I twist the fence post as I'm churning. It works great! I churn for 1 hour! Way longer than most people. That's because I do it by hand vs. using a drill or other type of mixer.
The key to pure bubble is filtering out all the plant material. When the leaves are fresh they don't break down like dried leaves do. Also, when you mix by hand you can be a lot more gentle with the plant material and keep it from getting into the bubble.
Bubble tastes different when it's fresh. It tastes just like the resin you scrap from your scissors while trimming.
To be honest with you I don't smoke my bubble. I give it to my patients to take orally. We are experimenting now with one of my patients. The thing is I can only make enough bubble for one patient.
If it actually cures the cancer, I'll be making bubble from bud too.
