CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

Mornin Yiz Menz!
Happy New Year!
I had a great time last night, was home by 10:30 and more than likely asleep before midnight. I woke up at 3:30 still on the couch.
The deer were moving and extremely dangerous on the ride home as they seem to be moving in herds now. Not just seeing one or two but rather 15 plus at a time.
Anybody doing anything exciting today, or are ya just sleeping it off?

Mornin Granny, seems you woke up on the couch about the time i fell to sleep lol. The deer are moving that way here too, ive never seen so many here this year its crazy. We have so many deer NYS is running a late deer season for 9 days. Dec. 26th to the 4th.


Today is the kids last day of Christmas break, wife is home, we are juat hangin out for the day. Its only 26° but the kids wanna go to the park so why not 🤷🏻🤷🏻 lol
 
About 9:30 last night, we suddenly started hearing the sound of professional fireworks (a muffled WUMP! followed by a bang, a few seconds later). Then they stopped. Then about 3-4 more went off. Then nothing. This was all in the usual area my township shoots off fireworks.

So here was the scene in Augusta Township, MI --

Firedude 1: Hey, looks like we've got about 8 or 9 rockets leftover from July 4th.

Firedude 2: Let's set them off. Fuckin'-A, we have to work New Year's Eve.

Firedude 3: Fuckin'-A!!

Firedude 1: Fuckin'-A!!!

Fireworks: (WUMP)-Boom! (WUMP)-Boom! (WUMP)-Boom! (WUMP)-Boom! (WUMP)-Boom!... [dead silence]

Me: They're shooting off rockets!

Wife: Where? Where?

Me: You missed it.
 
Happy 2024.....times ticking on my old bones, we were in bed by 11:30, I heard a few pops at 12 but pretty quiet out here at night, they could have been miles away.

Big plan today was to clean my reservoir before I loaded up another batch of nutes.

Done...

I get some biofilm I guess it is or chelates forming a light flaky cake on the bottom and on the pump,lines,and filter. Its been 3 weeks since I last cleaned it and I'm glad I did, there can be a lot of muck floating through my chiller and res in a short period of time.

I started using Peroxide at 5ml/gal along with my regular feed to see if it can help fight it off. From what I've recently read its an ongoing challenge to deal with and normal with no real cure unless I go the full hydro sterile route I guess.
 
Happy new year y’all
Guess I was the child last night

Had friends and their kids come over last night.
We made it Korean night. We ate 3 kinds of potstickers, kimchi pancakes and kimchi burgers. We had Korean snacks and desserts.
We had 5 bottles of soju a bottle of sake and kept adding of course beer.
Kids had nerf fights and we played 5 crowns (amazing card game with friends) watched the ball drop and crawled in bed at 1am…. I survived but didn’t see day light till 10am lol 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ Oh well. Had family fun day today and back to work tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Sup y'all and buenas dias! Im headed to go pickup some bugs from a cool collective here in VA that does bulk bug orders and saves money on shipping (getting bugs shipped from OR is like $75 shipping for $30 worth of bugs lol). Also setting up a dedicated veg tent as well as building a desk to mount an extra moniter on for my home-office...busy busy! Also turning my grow up a notch this year cuz fk it why not lol. Gonna be making some clones of this Fuel D.OG i grew that is the most intense blueberry taste and smell ive ever experienced. Condidering making some S1 seeds from it at some point, tjough im scared of the pollen migrating to my flower room lol. Anyway hope y'all have an awesome day, happy 2024!
 
Here is some of the fuel d.og and how im getting my day going. Its not a massive yielder but gotdayum does it wreak of blueberries. Funny cuz Fuel D.OG is supposed to be fuel terps lol. Granted it does have a nice fuelly background but its 99% blueberry.77F27A89-9F4D-430D-AA1E-DC2E79DEA4FD.jpeg

Hey Stoney! What’s up with the vino? 🙂
Click to expand...

a quick back story, this is my first five gallon run made with real fruit. my past wine making has been limited to a one gallon jug filled with bought juice. maybe about five times.. i make moonshine a few times a year so i kind of understand the fermentation part. once that's done i normally put it in a still. wine is not like that..

this summer my peach tree went bonkers and put out a bonus amount so i decided to make shine and wine! i fermented in an insulated container with a fruit bag and left it in there till my gravity was around 1.30 -1.20 , when that happened i squeezed out the bag and transferred it to a carboy. it's been in there since then. maybe july or august?

my questions are, should i re-rack it? (remove it from the carboy and put it back without any sediment)

when can i bottle? should i bottle right from a siphon? or should i siphon to a bottom spouted container and gravity fill the bottles from that?

do i NEED a bottle corker? or can i shove it in by hand?

here are some pics of what i have right now...

with a flashlight behind it..

010.JPG011.JPG

i also used some of this along the way...

013.JPG

i used the enzymes and tannin and acid when in the fermentation vessel. i haven't used the stabilizer and not sure if i will add sugar or not. i'm not a big drinker and like it dry. i also used the cambden(sp?) tablets for some sterilization along the way. and i used the foamy stuff in the carboy before i filled it.

any advice? did i mess anything up? i've taken some here and there for cooking so far but didn't drink any.

been flying solo with it so any help is greatly appreciated!!! :D

I let mine work a year to the day I started my fruit base. I bottle via the siphon. I also hand cork. Keep in mind though, I never have nor store mine long after the bottling as I give it away.

Your sedimentation looks right on. I would pull a straw full of it out and taste it, you may want to reconsider not using the sugar. It does not have to be a lot. To me without a bit of sugar, I always detect a bit of a vinegar taste. Others don’t, I do. But I also like a full bodied sweet wine.

Everything looks great!
As for me, I don’t drink any of the wine I make. I’m on a medication that cannot be mixed with even a drop of alcohol , so I get to swish but no swallow! The only reason I still make it is my friends enjoy it so.

so some sediment at this stage is okay to have.. i was kinda worried about that.

and yes i plan to give most of this away as well, as long as it tastes good anyway!! so i will add some sugar to it. i bet even dry wines have a little sugar in them. and most people like it a little sweet. thanks for twisting my arm on that one.

when should i add the sugar? should i use just plain white sugar?

i looked it up, i started it on july1st!!! gonna be a good 4th this year!! :D

one last question.. this is the yeast i used, is there a better kind that i should be using for wine?

Got the final weight tally on my latest grow in. 425 grams off 2 plants. Kept track of what I smoked already and the bit I gave to the wife. Damn, hella close to a pound. I won't complain just kinda secretly wished I'd hit the pound mark. Not bad though, beats my personal record off such small amount of plants.
