Hell even the trimms are gonna give you good yield if you decide to extract the kief or do ice hash, rosin or BHO.
those were from the last bunch in july. long gone. drying and curing as done on the fly.... literally 😱, so they were abused during the process. starting a round of the seeds i got from that harvest. i got 40 seeds from 4 plants. curious to see if i get anything like #3. loved the way the trichomes clustered.

didn't do much with the trimmings as the plants were about 1/2 oz each. flowered them and cut them down early. those pics were when they were almost dry.

Oooh I see, so how were they? They looked fantastic.
Good luck with your phenos✌️ are you gonna plant them for harvest or for pheno hunt?
Aww trimmings are always good. I have a jar where I put all the leaves I remove from buds before smoking and all the trimms I get from every plant. You can leave them curing as if it was weed until you have enough to make a substantial ammount of something. I just have a shaker, freeze it with the weed inside and a coin (wash it first, coins dont smell is the sweat of people reacting with the metal what smells, if you clean it its totally fine) and then shake and smoke the kief as it is. Ive done blonde hash with the kief sometimes too, you just need to apply heat for a while then freeze. I put it inside aliminium paper for that. A shaker for kief is very unexpensive. It makes you excercise too haha it can be a bit tiring if youre trying to get a lot of kief in one sitting.

i gave most of it away. it was good for a first go in quite a while. these new ones will hopefully have enough time to finish. hoping to get similar traits as the first ones. i would prefer to use the trimmings to use for compost.

Well I only save the leaves with a lot of trichomes, the rest I throw them away cause I cant do compost here. Trimms saved me for 2 months before my next grow because the last one prior to that didnt go very well so after 2 months it was all gone.

-First jar: Im asthmatic so I dissect and remove all the leaves from the buds, they will go in that little jar that I always have available in my closest drawer.
-Second jar: frosty leaves from trimming and small buds not worth cleaning to smoke.
-Third jar: processed trimmings. Its not grinded, its frozen and shreded with 2 coins, grinding all that stuff is a nightmare. The grinder starts getting stuck and too sticky after a few minutes.
-Fourth jar, not in the picture: Big 8 liter jar where I have all my trimmings but Im low on stock right now cause Ive been smoking them for 2 months til my last harvest was done.

Very Nice. actually i did smoke the bud leaves that had a good amount of trichomes. i couldn't bear to waste them given how nice they looked with the trichomes. i gave most of my stuff away as i prefer to smoke really nice stuff and i just wasn't that happy with my results. i've been smoking some strains i got at dispensaries. i got some Bubba's Blessing, Dante, Mule Fuel, Ghost Train Haze, Gary Payton, Tropicanna Cherry and Velvet Glove that should carry me over until i can harvest the new plants. i smoke a couple pin joints a day so it lasts me a while. and i do mean pin joint. no, that's not a toothpic 😌🤔

I cant stand smoking leaves hahaha but yes it feels super bad to waste the ones that are full of trichomes so thats why I process trimms and extract the kief with a shaker with a mesh. You got yourself some good strains hehe and yes I can see you dont smoke much so even better. Having too much tolerance sucks.

until i am able to finish a crop i'll have to reserve my assessment of the strains i got but i am enthused by the results so far. i actually wouldn't mind having some real tasty hash or traditional hash oil (authentic red or blonde). been a long time since last i grew, i'm still getting up to speed with the growing. at some point though i'll probably consider making some. i really need to see a harvest i feel was able to have enough time to complete.

the tolerance is a significant benefit smoking smaller amounts. it normally takes me a year to smoke 4 ounces and i always get a buzz.

The more the marrier! hahaha is Oregon Grape the one that you told me tastes like Grape or are you trying to find some strain similar to that one you tasted years ago? I know its called Grape but you never know, I never found any melon flavor in my melonade runtz, which make sense considering is Runtz x Again Zkittlez, its just more citrusy than a runtz but the runtz flavor is way more prevalent and no melon to be found 🤣

nah, the oregon grape is a strain someone i got stoned with had. dispensary weed that had some seed. decided to give a go at it. the stuff was a little weathered so in perfect condition it might yield a better experience and it could be interesting to cross it with the others to see what would develop.

i think the grape designation in the name has more to do with the color. the buds they had were completely dark purple. there have been so many flavors i have tried. it's amazing. i've only tried one zkittles and runtz strains must be several years ago. very nice stuff. so many different strains it's impossible to try them all but i give it a good try. when i do go to a dispensary i usually try several strains at a time.

I'm just gonna guess at this cause i think i know........rosemary
yes that would be rosemary. one of my roomates has a number of vegetable and herbs growing in the yard. figured i'd drop a sprig in the pot to ward off evil spirits, potential pests and see if they would take root. i haven't been able to be online for a while. 👍👍

latest pics. using different soil from what i used before. before i used soil from the yard and compost at roughly 50/50 mix. this time the yard where i am at wasn't as easy to use the soil so i bought some formula 420. supposed to be a good soil for cannabis. when i transplanted them to the larger containers i had a problem guaging how the water would be absorbed. didn't work out well as it appears that this soil has a shitload of moss. i ended up over watering to a great degree for the first 3 but the oregon grape was transferred a week later allowing me to adjust the watering better (the front left plant). i'm still attempting to correct the issues the first three encountered but the oregon grape is looking super healthy. i preffered the soil i used at the last grow and if able i'm going to try to make a soil with far less moss the next grow.
