Spectacular job Alfonso, way impressive.
The stuff I grew is way better then anything I have bought from a N.M producer, .. fo sho.
A friend and I tried some of my big plant yesterday and WOW! Nice crisp lemon on the way down and citrus flavor. Some sandalwood on the exhale. Another week of cure and I think it might make a person hallucinate, lolol
Makes me more then a little curious that producers in this state can't hit this level of medication all the time?

Thanks feildofdreams I have not tested it yet to know what it is like I did make some oil and bubble hash and have been using that for the last 2 weeks had never tried it so it was some thing new to me had to go out and get a pipe to smoke it but was very happy with the effect it had. The hash I had smoked before but had never made it so went on line and got a washing machine and the bags that go with it. I used 6 different micron bags down to 25. the 75 I think is the one I enjoyed the best the 45 and 25 are just a little too strong for me but I will find something to do with it. Will try to get my wife to cook something with it need to check out some cookbooks.LOL

You guys are kicking ass for sure. I got about three weeks until harvest you guys got me itching.

I think you are an experienced grower right but yea this growing thing is a real good feeling for sure.

That bubble you have Alfonso looks really nice and I am glad your grow has been successful. Awesome looking bubble and How in the world did you make that oil? Or is that olive oil?
Can't wait to here about your harvest mitten's.

I did the butane extraction using 5x refined butane and this honey extractor

Well could not wait any longer to try some cured meds So now I do have a taste effect report for you all. AK48 seed from dutch seed co. taste is something like perfume can't put my finger on. it tastes like perfume smells enjoyable. effect is alot of head high also some body high It is a good med for pain.

That is really cool Alfonso. I am going to have to try the oil extraction in the near future. Interesting taste smell. Good for chronic pain?

That's a cool little extractor. Looks like some serious product that came out of it! BAM!

I used to run BHO years ago but have since switched to the bubblebags and ice/water extraction rather than using solvents. Back then I'd have to save my trim from multiple harvests to have enough product do do a run that offered anything of note. I used to save the BHO and take it backpacking....for the pain....LOL. Great shit by the fire...melts ya right into the ground....LOL.

Which do you like better? The oil...or the bub?

I bought some silkscreen a few years ago and the wife made me some bags outta ripstop/the screen. I have a paint strainer bag from Home Depot I use on top to catch the ice/plant matter....then a 100 micron....an 80 micron...and a 65 micron. I"m sure I miss out on a bit in the 25-65 range but the 65 and 80 catch most of the goods and the times I've tried to catch smaller sizes it was a lot of effort for little return.

finally used em enough over the years that we had to remake em last go around. New bags combined with that week of below zero temps combined to make some of the nicest hash I've made to date. Toss in a large amount of "trim" from some plants that went wild on me 4 weeks into flower and never densed up.....yet were just full of trichs...an voila'

DINNER HASH!

those are some nice pieces you got there SH. I don't know what I enjoy better But I do know that I have been using the oil more.It seems to be easier to use Not that experienced in there use but willing to learn.LOL I see you have all differant color of the hash do you hand rub them to get the colors? P.S. the bubble is a lot more work to make but it is a lot cheaper to do. with the butane there is the cose of the butane and it is hard to work with sticky stuff

The colors come from running different strains. This is mostly from Blueberry but there is also some Chemdog D and some super Lemon haze in there too. I also think the cold weather has an effect on the color...as well as the quality. the colder it is outside, the better the hash, IMO. The hash also darkens in color as it dries. The blonde hash in this picture is now more brown....and the orange'ish is more red.

I love the stuff. Definitely one of the perks of being a grower. (that and scissor hash)

good show, man!

s h

Is that the sampler platter or the main course SH? lol Nice chunks!

What kind of camera are you using Alfonso?

HP photosmart 635 2.1 MP 12 zoom I do have to get a new one this one sucks.

Kodak makes a fairly good camera for around $150. It is one of those rare cameras that can take a close up. Cannon is WAY over rated IMO.
I think "Olympus" makes one of the best cameras/per price simply because they use a higher standard digital format for their color.. Their standard blues are like cobalt and their standard reds are in the ruby ranges, greens are around emerald ect... Still you can get what you need from either brand for a good price. Dropped my E-series Olympus and they are fixing it for free. Great people to work with. Just throwing it out there.
