We chose not to. Another 2 weeks or so and she'll be able to sample some finely cured buds and hopefully, by then, I'll have passed my mouth swab and we can can sample a fat doob together in celebration of my new job and first harvest.G$ has advised me that despite temptation this isn’t a great way to do it.
My Danby portable AC is enough to cool the basement during heat waves. Just a pain to hook up.What's the easiest way to cool my lung room when the temps outside dip below 60?
The window unit in there prevents me from bringing in outside air and once it quits blowing cold air, the dehumidifier really warms up the room. I wouldn't have thought cooling my lung room while it's cold outside would be an issue, but here we are
Would a portable AC outside the lung room that's ducted into the lung room be able to keep it in the mid to low 60's? I realize a mini-split would do the trick but that's outside my current budget.
Same here. Used 2” blue foam and after I cut out the intake/output holes I cut into three parts to sandwich between my inner/outer windows.
I agree. Definitely the way to go. Don't forget the mushroom HEPA filter on the inlet.Man I don't know why I didn't think of that. Even just a 6" would probably do the trick. Good thinkin' bro.
Not too shabby and pretty cheap for the time being.
You got this bro, im looking forward to the power plant grow. Thought it was cool you were gonna grow power plant for the job lol.Got a couple Gro Plugs soaking in some RO/H202 with 1ml/16oz shot of RapidStart.
I'll be sewing my Power Plant seeds later today. If the job interview doesn't pan out, I'll toss them and start something else. I should hear back in two weeks or so.
Wife wants to pick the next round if we don't grow out the Power Plant. I said my vote is for the All Gas OG X Gelato. Sounds tasty with a kick. I'm not starting anything else, though. I don't want to literally sew any doubt. I got this job in the bag
That interview was pretty hectic but I think I nailed it. It was supposed to be a one hour process that took two. They have a few mlre interviews to conduct, so I'll be hearing back from them sometime in the next two weeks.
I hope you get the job.
Thanks man. It would be the one I retire at in 30 years. It'll be a good gig.
Nice tidbit of info there. Thanks.
How many days in flower will she be on the weekend?
I'll have to go check here in a bit, but we're somewhere around day 55. Guy at the Farm harvested this strain on day 64. I'm not saying he did it right, but he's the only other person I know to have grown this one out.
Will do bro. I'm going in around 6am.
say it like it's a mission, a mission impossible
Didn't realize extraction would be 7 hours later...say it like it's a mission, a mission impossible
fresh or dry?
Fresh trim. I stuffed it in the freezer for now. Plants done but I still got work to do.
alright. this process will work for butter, but i typically do it with coconut oil because you can bake with it or make salves or other topical ointments, too.
Have played around with this and found a trick that avoids losing so much oil. I just use a fine metal strainer to get the plant material out of the oil instead of cheesecloth. But the trick I read about once, and it works, is put a few cups of water in with the oil while it's in the crockpot. Once it's finished, strain it in a metal strainer and put it in a big bowl or pot and stick that in the fridge. All the gunk will filter out of the oil into the water and settle on the bottom and the oil will solidify on the top and it's easy to separate. This assumes an oil that solidifies under cool temps like coconut oil or butter.
so, i used to do a 50/50 oil/water mix but figured out that because chlorophyll is water soluble, it's also extracted and turns the oil a bit more green than I like. coconut oil still has some water content in it, but without the additional water you can cut down on a significant amount of pulled chlorophyll. my solidified product now tends to be a nice tan color with maybe a tiny hint of green vs the pistachio ice cream color I used to get when using water.
Interesting, I totally get it.
not quite RSO. When I make QWISO it ends up more similar to dry sift because I freeze the material and freeze the alcohol, and only do 10-12 second washes before filtering and evap. I'll do two to three washes, tossing the last wash when it starts to not be clear or yellow. Once I start to see even a tiny hint of green, I know the material is too wet and I'm pulling chlorophyll, which I do not want. I also use 91% ISO for QWISO to avoid any unnecessary water.
That's how I do it with the water but I stick mine in the freezer. When I pull it out the butter is solid with a thin layer of plant material between the butter and ice. I scrape the plant material off the butter and cut into usable pieces.
Ok I finally got some lunch in me...
if you don't want to mess with it, i'd pull it out and let it dry out. don't put it in the fridge, it'll just turn into a goopy mess.
Word. I'll spread it out on a cooking sheet and stick it in the back room where the stink doesn't matter.
Is this gonna mold? I just stuffed it in the tent. It was a little too much for a cooking sheet
Most of that is water leaf. I wouldn't use that unless you have a lot of sugar leaf mixed in. Use the trim you trim off the flowers. That's just me. Others may have a better idea what to do.Is this gonna mold? I just stuffed it in the tent. It was a little too much for a cooking sheet
