First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't quite sure where to post it, so I assumed the newb section would be a good guess.
Due to some foreseen heat issues that were completely unavoidable (my grow-room budget ran out before I could get a cooltube/etc - I thought I could compensate with extra ventilation, but alas, not good enough.), I had to abort my grow a couple weeks early. As this was my first grow, I totally expected something catastrophic to happen, so I'm not too disappointed. However, in order to not have wasted months, I decided to try to salvage my girls by turning them into hash.
I blended up 3 full plants, stems and all, with a couple trays of ice. I strained the mush, reblended, and restrained. Each plant was topped once early on and then scrogged. The biggest bud had the diameter of a golf ball plus a cm or two. The smallest one had the diameter of a penny. All of the buds glittered like freakin' diamnods. They were fed the recommended doses of Moondust in a DWC hydroponic stealth box.
My question for you guys is this: will I get any hash at all from not-quite-mature plants?
Also, I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a cooltube/aircooled hood/etc, DIY or pre-made, doesn't matter which. Tube/hood needs to be able to contain a 400w HID but also needs to fit in a 8"x14" space. Doesn't need to reflect, just needs to keep the box cool. It can be larger than the dimensions above if I feel I can reasonably modify my box to fit it. Maybe just have the hood as a "lid" for the box? Lol
