A Cornucopia of Delightful Cannabis Cultivars

On a mission this weekend to try and find a bigger tray for the 4x4. The issue I’ve been having is I can find a 4x4 hydro tray but the outside diameter is 50 inches and it’s not gonna fit in the 4x4 so I was checking out the 3x3 trays which are 40x40 and that will be better than the 30x30 inch tray that’s currently in there. Found a few online but the prices are crazy cuz it’s freight shipping and the only hydro shop in my area is an hour away and it’s never open . Here is a pic of the 4x4 you can see how much room there is on each side I’m wasting so much tent space

that looks pretty good

i like picking the trim off and putting it in a clear-clean bong and smoking them first, when its top shelf/"craft" quality.

I have a good friend that makes RSO and hash rosin. I save up all my trim and usually a couple times a year I drop off a garbage bag full of trim in return for a big jar of rosin

We leave the small ones on most of the time. When it’s real frosty it makes sense. Not harsh either. Vapes nice.

Guessing the washer tray isn’t enough anymore. Couldn’t you get some rectangular trays or shoe mats to fill the gaps until you find a good deal on a proper flood tray?
 
The 12 purple sunshine have been transplanted into 1/2 gal pots
The 9 lavender boogie f4 and 9 purple Nepali will be transplanted into 2 gal pots in a few days
In the 4x4 it’s day 49 and the cake formula has been started. My estimated harvest date was June 1st on these but they might be done a week earlier we will see.

Looking nice and organized.

👌
 
Transplanted the lavender f4 and purple Nepali into 1/2 gal pots
Couldn’t fit them all in the tent with the seed repro that’s in there so I had to cull a few and ended up with 6 lav regs and 7 purple Nepali fems so hopefully I’ll get between 9-10 fems

Harvested 10 this morning
8 left in 4x4 that should be ready by next weekend
Moved 6 feminized purple Nepali and 7 reg lavender f4 into the 4x4 and just the12 purple sunshine left in 3x3 for an open pollination reproduction. Purple sunshine is purple diesel from Cali connection crossed with sunshine daydream from bodhi seeds. Had a slight gnat infestation in both tent but some mosquito bits took care of the situation, if you look closely you might see some dead gnats laying around.

You sure it was the skeeter bits, or did the gnats just get tangled in all of those trichomes? Poor bastard thought it was safe to land on a fan leaf, but the trichomes snared him. Gorgeous grow... again.

thanks I finally have a problem I never thought Id ever have. I still have half a lb left from the last harvest and I have 18 more plants hanging in the dry room. I don't know how I am going to consume this amount of flower before the next batch in 6 weeks so I have to start making hash again and I absolutely hate making hash and I suck at it but I guess I just need to practice and get better because its easier to store 50 grams of hash than store 3lbs of flower in individual 1oz bags :ROFLMAO:
only bad thing about growing full packs of reg seeds is you end up with a bunch of different phenos and strains and instead of just throwing the buds in 1/2 lb bags and calling it a day its a pain when you have to bag up smaller amounts and store the little bags everywhere compared to storing 1 or 2 large bags

Real world problems, lol.

I've never made hash, but it does look tedious. After watching the video @Observer shared, where they used a freeze dryer to collect the trichomes, I'd want to ask around and see if any buddies own a freeze dryer and want in on some hash. It looked pretty tasty in the video. Honestly, I think it would be fun doing the more common wash in ice water and filtering through bags the first couple of times, but I can see it getting old pretty quick.

Would you mix it together for hash or try to separate it out in the same way you would with the flower?

That shit looked amazing, I can't wait till I can get my Lab setup, they call that stuff "piatella" I think.

Expensive equipment, but im all for it.


Quality.

Sounds like you need to get a couple pounds of dry ive and some bubble bags. It's extremely fast and as long as you stop shaking as you see the color start to change as you get some plant matter. It can be further refined through static tech if your so inclined. I happen to enjoy dry sift most so it works for me. Like you said, wtf are you gonna do with lbs of product with even more in the line. I just thought is share since it's less messy than bubblehash and MUCH LESS labor intensive. Keep on killing it over here, always something interesting going on!

thanks dude I'm gonna look into this dry ice method. I've made about 5 attempts so far in the past 3 years using one of those small washing machines and micron bags and I did good the first time but the 3 after that sucked and I pulled too much plant matter and had green hash. the dry ice method sounds like it might be the solution
 
Ended up with 5 male and 7 female on the purple sunshine seed reproduction. I got 2 short squat males and 3 taller lanky males with 1 tall female and 6 short bushy females. Should give a nice ratio of phenotypes in the offspring. Doing it different in this one instead of selecting my favorite male or two and pollinating my favorite females I’m gonna let them openly pollinate to ensure I get the biggest range of phenos in the f2s. The Jabba was my first repro and I wish I had done an open pollination on that pack so this is my do over on the purple sunshine. In the 4x4 tent I ended up with 3 lavender f4 fems to go along with the 6 purple Nepali fems for a total of 9 so when the 7 in the 3x3 are pollinated I’ll give them a week then spray them down with water a couple times let them dry then get them in the 4x4 with the other 9 for a total of 16 in the 4x4 then the next run will be started. Next one is just a fun run with f2 seeds I received in trades I’m gonna go with a pack each of Wolfpack ( giesel x appalachia), pura Vida ( La pure kush x appalachia) and if I have room left I might go with one of the hashplant crosses maybe the triangle kush x 88g13hp
Some bud pics of what I’ve been puffing on lately mostly umeboshi and Jabba phenos from the last run but 18 were just chopped last weekend so I’ll have some more variety soon

I belong to a bodhi repro group and back in december he sent our leader 20 rare packs that he had in his fridge and we are doing open pollinations and sending him back some seeds and he's gonna keep sending more packs and its just a really awesome way to get older rare stuff that's not around anymore. This is the one that I chose its called purple sunshine its purple diesel x sunshine daydream.

Oh nice!

I can't wait to get back into breeding, I wrote it all out 2 nights ago how to do it.

Going all the way to F5s with females only, using Silver Thiosulfate.

Stable feminized seeds.

It’s refreshing to see this and I applaud you for doing it the right way. So many people out there chucking f1 crosses and calling it a day and not putting the work in. I just came up with a new plan for my grows and hopefully it helps me get my beeeding started too. The old way was growing out f1s and pheno hunting then doing a seed repro and alternating but now what I’m doing is any f1 pack that I have in my fridge is gonna get open pollinated and I’m only going to do hunts on the f2s that I create. I just lost a keeper pheno and have no more seeds and can’t find a pack anywhere of this umeboshi strain and had I reproduced that pack I would’ve had a bag full of f2 seeds to hunt through so I learned a valuable lesson this past grow

Thank you, that's how I plan on getting the customers and competing with the competition, I'll be documenting every single step on here too

everyone can see the process, and where it's coming from, i want to release STABLE femized seeds, and then I'll do regulars if there's a market for em, or if the first round of fems "went well".

I've been seeing that too, seems some of the more popular "companies" got lazy and chose a shady easier route.

Aw, that sucks, I've had a few I wish reversed or something, but I was still just learning the whole growing process in general.

Now I feel alot more competent, and once I have the space again, I'll be looking for genes that are "popular with the market" and go from there.

I'll send out free "tester" packs too F3+ only.

Want the genetics to uphold and solidify reputation, that's my In.
And undercutting everyone's prices lol.

easy trim, colorful, stinky, a more robust cannabinoid profile, CONSISTENCY, growth rate, resistances, etc.
Has to check all of the boxes.
