Sept 27
I'm thinking my girls are close to 40 days into flower by the looks of them. My Alaska Thunderfuck is growing a nice top bed even after I bent her at 90* to keep off the light and she's bend her way back up to it. I'm really liking the looks of the Grape skunk, Thanks for them OLDCRO. I knew the last time when I fked them up they were something I needed to run properly. These 2 look great, nice plump lowers and a twin top on 1.Sept 27 ATF.JPGSept 27 Grape skunk twins.JPGSept 27 group.JPGSept 27 Grape skunk.JPG
 
I did a bit of clean up in my shop today and was cleaning up the left over bubble hash mash still in a 5 gal bucket and I dumped the bucket into a bag of trash. It looks like germination was a success....lol...Sept 27 sprouts.JPG
 
Oct 3
I tossed my sprouts in the back yard and covered them with some used promix. We had a frost last night I threw a plastic sheet over them last night and they were looking rough this am. I'll update if they improve.

I've my reds on now for 15 min at lights out. They may have stretch a bit more since turning them on but not too much.

I have my fridge and fan running. My timer only allows 1 min intervals I have it on for 1 min every 30. I intend on grinding up my hash tomorrow now that I have a place to dry properly.

I first noticed some leave damage on 1 of my grape skunk then I noticed nanners, stress = nanners. I think its over fed. I can't adjust in the autopots but its either under or over fed, too close to the lights or inherent in the strain. If I have more seeds Oct 3 fridge.JPGOct 3 Grape skunk twins.JPGOct 3 reds on crop.JPGI 'll try less bloom nutes because she was doing fine until I upped them

Really hope the fridge does it for you. The boxes fit perfectly, nice.

Too bad about the nanners, they look good though.

Hey, it should do fine. I'll need to lock down the temp by adjusting the 1-7 dial but but the humidity in it looks good. I had it at 35% yesterday and it looks like it will hold there. That was my main concern, nowhere in my house can I reach 35% or 55f.......The 12v timer showed up yesterday but its internal battery is dead so I can't program it. I also noticed its only a 1 min timer...no seconds to play with. Well fk I have 2 of those as is. I thought I was ordering one I could use 15 secs on 5 min off ( example). So its going back and I'll order another. This time I'll get one I can use seconds timing. I have it set on another timer now at 1 min on 30 min off but 1 min on is more than I need to stir the air.

I hope to get at the hash grinding later today, I'll take pics of my progress.

I was out on my bike yesterday and I didn't fall off...not even once. Had a couple hairy moments with traffic crossing a highway, there's a spot where traffic can come from 6 places as I need to cross the highway and I won't go until its clear but some folks want to stop and let me go....and they're on a highway or side road with other traffic still moving....... fk that too much confusion......when everyone is gone I'll go I'm in no hurry .....don't stop on the fkin highway to let me cross. Even waving them on doesn't work.....Go mtherfker go...don't stop and create confusion I'll wait. I have to get down to the road to see traffic so I can't stay back off the road and wait until it clears. Drivers trying to be nice are going to get me whacked by a car that doesn't see me as they enter the road at speed.

Nice weather though, cool morning but nice sunny days and as I look ahead at the forecasts there's lots of nice weather ahead of us as well.....Good thing....there's a long winter coming.

I'd watched all the video's, I got all the equipment needed, I put on my latex gloves and ground down the hash until I saw blue latex bits getting shredded into the hash.....all stop...pick out blue bits, toss gloves into the trash and used my fingers from there on in........Don't smoke the blue bits....lol

Always wanted to do this my self too.

I think I'd look into dry sifting. The bubble bags work but the dry parameters are hard to reach without an extra fridge. Recommended drying 55f @ 35% for up to 10 days????? Then roll up into a Temple ball, wrap in plastic wrap and cure for 3-6 months?????........lol That's a lot of work and patients for a little smoke. I'll be making up 2 balls 1 I'll let cure but 1 is going to be getting smoked.
 
You need to find a cheap tumbler. Even a manual one you can later hook up to a motor. And/or put inside a tote to collect more.

I had trouble finding a large metal can to use as a drum. I was looking at around $200 to make one. I’d been saving off/on for a while. Getting it half price with no tax made me jump on it.

I found one that’s a prototype on Makerworld that looks a lot like the one I bought. It’s a work in progress but has promise.

Oct 7
7 weeks today in flower is how I have these on my calendar. Looks about right, 4 more to go but the grape skunk maybe a bit earlier. I'm feeding 5/4/4/8/..1/4tsp KB dry. 4/1 cal/mag-Micro-Grow-Bloom-KBd-Diamond Nectar-Hyclean ml/gal.

I took scissors to my top bud and a few others to cut out some nanners in the Grape Skunk. Stress related I believe I could see leaf damage before I saw nanners. With the Autopots its not possible to adjust the feed to just 1 plant and it may have needed more TLC than I gave her. None the less there were only a few and after my run of seeded shit only a couple seeds would be a relief.

I dropped 6 seeds in water this am, 2 Blackberry Kush, 2 either Biscotti Skunk or Quebec Blue from QCseeds and 2 Strawberry Purps from OLDCRO, Thanks man

I've been chipping at my hash, I think 1 more day and I'm going to roll it up. It smokes very well and gave me that morning buzz this afternoon....nice. Tastes like hash, burns like hash gives the buzz like hash....I think I gots me some hash...lolOct 3 AlaskaTF 7weeks.JPGOct 3 Grape Skunk 1.JPGOct 3 grape Skunk 2.JPGOct 3 Grape skunk Twins A.JPGOct 3 Group 7 weeks.JPGOct 3 Zamalda Dreams.JPG

Thanks, can you spot the nanners in pic 2 Grape Skunk? As soon as I posted the pic I saw them and took my scissors to cut them out. My eyes don't see them all but in pics they jump out at me. I have 4 Zamelda Dreams growing 1 is different than the others. more yellow in her color and different hairs, close but just a subtle difference in looks. No seeds...lol...so far so good.

I picked up Turkey bags yesterday if the hash is dry enough today I'll roll her up....after a smoke or 2 of it.....lol
 
The Canada Post walkout sounds like it’s over. They are going to a rolling strike now. I’m going to wait longer, maybe EOM, then I’ll mail you the plastic garden cats. I’m more worried they will get damaged than lost.

I rolled up a Temple ball from my first batch.I had some issues getting the water hot enough. I have a heating element I bought years ago that has a shut off so it heats for a while gets too hot and shuts down then cools a bit and reheats. It took me an hour before I realized its never going to get hot enough the way I had it so I dumped 90% of the water out and heated just enough water to fill one bottle. I sealed the lid as my pot can be a pressure cooker and turned it into a bomb then turned it back on after about 5 min I could hear a pinging of the pot so I shut it off and released the steam then poured 207f water into my bottle.

Even that didn't go without indecent, never thinking the funnel & water weight would seal the bottle not allowing the water to flow through without chugging in the funnel bowl. almost boiling hot water chugging up and onto my hands and legs. Fking yeow, no damage but wtf can't anything go right? I added a screw to the funnel and bottle top lip and poured in the water.

The rolling went pretty well. I made 6-7 roll overs and refolds then rolled it out until flat. After the first flip the hash stuck to itself pretty well and it was easy to dab up missed pieces off the Turkey bag. The first roll was a bit of a pain I should have contained my mass of hash better before I rolled it out. I still have 2 boxes of drying hash to deal with. Maybe todayOct 7 dried hash.JPGOct 7 flat hash.JPGOct 7 Temple ball1.JPGOct 7 pot & heater.JPG

Hey thanks but wait until they get rolling again, giver a week and see how they operate. Disgruntled employees don't work well with others. We don't want them going Postal on your package...lol

Use parchment paper. Roll’s great unless real wet. That temple ball looks nice…never had/made one.

IIRC Bandits HBF1 was a great one for hash, and that was dry just trimming in the trim bin. You ever get around to the seeds I sent ya that’s one to try first.

That’s why I said EOM, it’s End Of Month.

But before the Christmas rush. I don’t want someone thinking it’s a nice Xmas gift either. 🤣

I just thought it would be cool for their okay yard or the front pots in the tent. One to represent each of your boys.

If I’d gotten real fancy I’d have had my son put each one’s name on the stem you push in the earth. 😂

I printed two before he noticed so he had to let me finish the third. 😝

I killed some 2 grows back trying to germinate in too cold of conditions, Since then I haven't run any regs. Too late this run and next i'm hoping to do some of the red beards I ordered. I'll get to them but it may take me a while longer. I have to do that when i have 6 autopots available, then I can split the pots and grow out reg seeds. I just rolled another ball up and I'm smoking some of the powdered stuff from pizza box 3. I'm thinking 2 balls is enough I'll chip away at the 3rd pizza box by the pipe load
