20241222: Day 0+

We peeked yesterday and it looks like at least three out of four popped with the two end ones doing the best.

This morning one was out!

84*f or 29*c with low humidity at the moment.

I’ll move the heat pad over when all four are up. Hope the new setup does well.



Hanging plants are okay. Temp ranges from 17* - 22* and humidity 70% - 30%. Day 8 but they are still limp and damp.


Jilly Beans on her own. Day 83F W12.

Looks like Christmas is going to be real busy. Chopping, trimming and transplanting. Then the whole Christmas thing.

20241223: Day 0+

Two seedlings have popped up. One at either end. Just the two middle ones remain. One of which I know is open.

I put a inline dimmer switch on the heat pad. Trying to keep it near 27*c. Tricky when the basement hit 13*c this morning at 3am.

Resizing the home made elevator for the washer tray. Will probably need four supports for the corners.

The cold seems to have helped stop any new pistols from developing. Need to scope her today. Day 84F W12

Tents and equipment all clean. Just two soft pots soaking in the PH down bucket water left to go.

Both fans are fixed and oscillate again. Everything was wiped down twice with peroxide wipes.


Harvest is still drying, slowly. Day ten for the first three, JB on the right is day 1.

Still just the two up on day 8 after putting in the VG. Might have to transplant the first two. Get his going ASAP before putting in SCROG.

Busy the next few days so I want this done and off the list. Get them in the tent in the new seedling tray. I’ll check later today to see if the other two are still viable.

My son is getting ready to print some models and figures for his game. This was a test run.


I’ve now stolen it for the tent. Going to hide it places in his grows.


Screw elf on a shelf…

 

[Zen_seeker]

Everything grow related is here atm. Both should be out by now but nothing is going to plan. Ah well. What’s another few days?

Hey, I got my little blue electric rolling machine yesterday and it works great. I'm real pleased with it. I don't have much trouble rolling as is but this little unit pushes the weed into the paper and smokes great afterwards. I have to break the weed up a bit but as I feed the hopper it grinds it down and fills the paper up tight. 3 setting but there's not much difference in the roll. I know you've said you have trouble rolling.....I thought they'd be a novelty but it actually works

Do you have to use cones?

 

[steamroller]

Do you have to use cones?

I am curious also about pre rolls or how this works.

 

[Pipecarver]

Do you have to use cones?

No just the king sized tubes, set on the first setting and I cut 90% of the filter off. Smoking one now stuffed from it, a bit of rolling with my fingers to loosen weed rolled/stuffed from it and it smokes great. Still have to grind it first, it doesn't do chunks well but I've been smoking all day from it and to giver a good test Its probably stuffed 10 joints for me so far.

Until you asked if I was using the cones I couldn't figure out what this...cone shaped plastic tube was for that comes with the roller. I still can figure out how it would attach but now that I know what it is I'll figure it out..

Dec 29...all stop. the fkin thing is gummed up and doesn't want to push my smoke into the roll. The spring drive screw has resin build up. I'm not sure how well these things are going to work with gummy weed....it took like 3 min of button pushing and moving the weed around in the hopper to get 1 joint rolled. The first few the first day were done in like 10 -15 seconds......Hello Nasa I think we have a problem with the drive screw, Hold all launches until further reviews

Can it be taken apart for cleaning with ISO?

 

[Pipecarver]

Can it be taken apart for cleaning with ISO?

I'm not sure the image shows 2 springs but there was only 1 in the package and the description doesn't mention getting 2. Trying to pull it off stretches the spring and I don't want to fk it up stretching it out of shape. I'm sure it can be cleaned but after just 1 days smoking? pain...

Nice. Now I can tell my son. Looks like it does two cone sizes.

 

[Zen_seeker]

I think the straight ones are for normal cigarette shells.

We had a house guest until today. Life got busy, then it got real lazy.

Robots, jarring weed, making hash. Why did I think a Christmas harvest was a good idea?



IDKW but I keep getting the urge to pose these Dummy 13’s. Start putting them in the tent when the plants take off.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Seedlings didn’t go well. The peek might have mucked them up. Looks like one got moldy. We tried to transplant the best one on the left but it didn’t survive the night. One on the right had a deep indentation from the shell, floppy and almost detached. Probably due to peeking.

Second try in the tent now. First one up today.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Thanks again @Bandit420

Got 4 jars filled and a lot of hash from your lady. She’s also given me a lot of seeds from the three branches. Two I’ve harvested today.



HBF2

I’ll use the buds for a test vape tomorrow. See if I can find that last seed branch…yarn came off.

20250102: First day in soil


Second attempt is doing better. Transplanted today. The tap root curled back up after going down a CM. Not sure why but it helped with the transplant.

20250103: Day 5 since up

I find if it makes it 24hrs it’s good unless mold gets it.


Waiting for more out of the VG. Green guys slacking.
—————

Now that I have more than one strain I need to organize them better. They are in the dark and in a cool spot of the grow room in a drawer but need to get put in the refrigerator bottom crisper.

I’ve been moving them to test tubes because they are easier to look after, stack and already have labels.

Current storage and containers.

We need the fridge space so I don’t want something huge. Preferably a holder that goes into a black box or something. Anything I have, like a small ammo box, isn’t square or rectangular.

Maybe 3D print a holder & box?

G$ found an okay one for $20. But up here was $65. Amazon sucks these days.

Time to start a fresh thread. Thanks for following along.

If you’re still interested in what I’m up to try the new journal here.

Zen Garden 2025

Starting a new thread for 2025. Starting off with my sons try at growing. So far we were 2 out of 4 but they were stringy and didn’t make it. This time we have one up and transplanted on January 2nd. It seems to be doing fine. We added a small desktop clip fan to keep mold off and strengthen...
