It sounds like those UV lights are really making a difference. I can't wait to see your live resin setup!! live is so tasty!!!!!
man that street race sounds like a blast!! i didn't know who to take for that one... i think i picked la-gay-nooooo!!! for that race... that what sucks about the pool, it makes you pick the idiots too!!!! hahaha
i wanted to take jimmie johnson so bad for the 500 but i just couldn't what if he doesn't make it in.. i wouldn't want to start out last because of that. its so hard man. i just take who i think is the best 18 drivers and just fill em each in twice. and this year there were enough that i didn't even have to pick bubba wallace!!!!!!! i took larson for michigan and sonoma. I saw briscoe just signed a contract extension!!!
hope ya get to rest your hands and back from the harvest time!!!!
Haven’t looked into one of these in a few years. What’s the average price for a reasonable setup these days? A “best bang for the buck” type of rig that will be used by me to make stuff like noted here as well as make parts for my sons model hobby.
I’m more utilitarian & DIY while he’s creative.
I got mine out two harvests ago because I wasn't sure I had enough room in my regular drying chamber. The net things were all musty smelling so I just put them back lol.

Nice chop!!
Your DIY freeze dry setup is blowing my mind. That is freakin amazing dude. I can't wait to see how that turns out.
man o man the bud porn!!!!!! i try to focus on all the cool things going on but my eyes keep going back to bud porn!!!
i use those silica beads in my gun cabinet, they work great for keeping the moisture out of there so i hope they do the same for you!!
how long ya gonna leave it there? a week or more?
that sure is a slick ass rolling tray!!! they don't really do it justice in their video though, a half rolled doob and they cut the paper off?!?!?! around here that's like putting beans in your chili... ya just don't do it!!!!! hahahaha (I'm having left over chili tonight.... with beans!!!!!!)
i like the flashlight though, looks like a faucet!!!
man i can't wait to see your freeze dried bud!!! you gonna squish it then?
ok, back to the porn....
Thanks man! I sure hope it works...That'll be a $2800 hack DIYing a freeze dryer!
I'm gonna check the chamber every day to look at the gauge then open it every three days to see what I have in there. Hopefully it really does come out dry and I doubt it'll take very long.
Yep once it's dried I'm squishing it. I'm not into extracting trichs since I like the full body flavor of flower rosin over sifted trcihs so I'll load it into bags and squish it. I should be able to load 4-5 bags and if successful should pull 5 grams of live resin. Or at least that's the goal. If it works I'll commit a lot more of my next haul to doing live rosin this way.
The tray and gadgets are kinda funny. I got a coupon code from Smoke Cartel to buy it for $40 off and kinda wavered on it for a few days then said why not. The craftsmanship is really nice but I can tell no stoner designed it. Or at least no left handed stoner designed it. Maybe a righty who gets high off delta 8 came up with the design IDK.
Like who needs a phone mount on their rolling tray? Yeah that fucker does a good job holding my papers though haha! And at first it didn't come with the light and pick so I emailed SC about that and they made it right. I really do like the light and jars though, the cone loader is pretty cool, and the bamboo is really nice. I know I'll grime it up in no time though with all this sticky shit!
Yeah that video is LOL funny and fake. I just know if they showed his face it would be this dude

When I stuff a cone with this thing I know damn well there won't be enough paper to twist up like that!
That germinate is awesome, you should patent and sell. Cheap to build, and everybody would want one. I know I do.And try to grow some stinky weeds!
Trying some new stuff and figured I should probably write things down and take some pics or I might forget. The whole short term memory thing ya know.
These seeds are from a feminized 6 pack of Purple Crash (Sundae Driver x Purple Punch) by Greenpoint.
Bought the pack sometime last year, kept them in the fridge, and popped them this week.
Been using vertical germination (paper towels in DVD case) for maybe 10 years or so? Been a long time but now with a 3-D printer I made something specifically designed for popping sprouts. And yeah I get it. Mother Nature been popping beans for eons. A little dirt to cover 'em, some sun and water and there ya go. But I'm a stoner and we tend to over think and over engineer whenever possible so popping beans is no exception. And who knows. We might make a little magic in the process!
So this is my sprouting kit prototype dissembled and stuff needed to pop the beans. The next kit I make will be done with food grade plastic and have a little reservoir/carrying case

Assembled with 3 seeds on one side of the divider and 3 on the other. I'm only doing six but this thing could pop 12 seeds at the same time

Once some heads showed I took a looksy at how it's working. Nice and straight with no cross over or pig tails
View attachment 1294941
Let 'em go for another day and things start to work a little too well. Time to get 'em planted
View attachment 1294945
Kinda like handling a bare root clone but much more fragile
View attachment 1294946
I water my soil very well before planting then bore a hole with the handle of my garden claw. Insert the sprout holding it's head above the soil line then collapse the hole around the tap root and water it in

And away we go! Seems like everything is in order for a solid start so now it's just about being patient and watching. They'll probably spend the next 10 days or so establishing themselves with roots and baby leaves then start to take off at quick pace.
Nothing too elaborate as far as soil and nutes goes. They're in Roots 707 and 1 gallon airpots to start and later will be upcanned to 7 gallon pots filled with Roots Lush.
Nutes are Neptune's Harvest Liquid Fish and Seaweed, Mycos, Compost Tea, and Terp Tea.
My water is kinda special though. Deionized RO with UV purifying circulation in a 55 gallon barrel. Totally stripped down and as pure as it gets. No pH adjustments required.
Lights are CLW LED.
More fun coming soon......
That germinate is awesome, you should patent and sell. Cheap to build, and everybody would want one. I know I do.
i wonder if squishing it frozen and dry will release a different set of terps and have a totally unique flavor profile compared to the cured bud... i have a feeling you'll be tasting this stuff before the buds are dry!!! hehe ( i know i would)
"Maybe a righty who gets high off delta 8 came up with the design IDK"
hey speaking of assholes that smoke delta 8.....

what a fucktard!!!!
and hell yeah man i'll be rooting for the 42 as well.... i hope he breaks every single rookie record on the books!!! plus hey, it's not like i don't have some 42 merch laying around!!! hahaha
ya know i didn't even realize that was a phone holder, i just assumed it was for papers!! haha
can't wait to see that squish!!!
New mexico, me too. The crime ridden metropolis of Albuquerque. Last year was my first grow, it was outside and a learning experience. Got a tent to try too for this year. Fucking funThanks man. I'm gonna work on the design a bit and print a bunch out for veggie season. If I have any xtra maybe I can list them on ebay or something IDK
Man I can just picture that dude in his hauler puffin away on disposable hemp vape carts all pouty faced and whiny
Funny how things came full circle with that 42 hahaha! I have his JRM shirt of him climbing a fence after 3 wins and on the back it has a throwing up smiley emoji. Also have a #9 sticker on my truck.
He and Burton have a salty history so we may see some young gun fights this year! And Gibbs hahaha!! I'm banking on Hamlin getting dibs on that chin even if Gibbs did drive for him last year. Well only if Gibbs takes his helmet off that is
Here's some looks in on some stuff....

Tester squish on select frosty purple leaf trim produced extremely waxy purple rosin. Gonna cure this trim for a week or so in a Grove and start squishing it

Freeze dry project....After 24 hours I popped it open and nothing had really changed. It lost a bit of vacuum pressure but nothing other than that. So I purged it again and then purged it again 3 more times the next day and 3 more again yesterday. Today I'm seeing things start to change and there's a peppering of white in the blue silica.
Today I also started to purge it in the freezer for about an hour at a time and will do a few more times each day here after. I would purge it 24/7 but I don't wanna kill my vac pump doing this.
I'm kinda thinking it will finish as early as a week but maybe up to 10-15 days. I am wondering if I've overloaded it so I imagine just a few buds would go quicker but I have it kinda full yet placed in a single layer.
One thing for sure, what's in the purge chamber is ridiculously danky compared to it's sister container of frozen bud waiting to be freeze dried. The second container of frozen weed is pretty much the same as the day it was picked in regards to looks, color, and aroma and it's defintely still fresh and wet.
Here Y'all can kinda see how the attempt at freeze drying weed is looking different than the still fresh and frozen. It looks to me like the freeze dry stuff is actually turning dry and it's starting to feel like it's drying
View attachment 1324956
And here's how I have the purge chamber going with an active purge tucked down deep in the freezer amongst the frozen chicken, steaks, and chops

And a look into the next grow...I ordered these from Greenpoint today and got them cheap in a reverse auction..$60 for both!
View attachment 1324963View attachment 1324964
I have six other fem seeds and will mix n match 6 plants of these two cuts + Scout Snacks, Banana Fruit Cake, and Topanga Cookies
And I ordered these from the Chili Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University. So my next grow will include ganja and peppers with the peppers going outside for Spring & Summer

This stuff by Elemlent Nutrients is awesome. I use their Complete Crop and Flower Fuel with GREAT SUCCESS. Love their stuff.Little update to post...Seedlings are truckin' along.
Light is at 15% output.
Watered once so far and added Mycos+ to the water. Seemed to give them a little charge.
Have a couple that decided to lay over getting a little stretchy and top heavy so once again the 3-D printer solved it!
I made up these nifty little support stakes with a U shaped hook at the top to support seedlings when I water so they don't fall over.
Before the supports
View attachment 1296989
And after the supports
View attachment 1296990
View attachment 1296992
I went ahead and printed out a support stake for all 6 just in case.
And here's the Mycos+ stuff I'm using for this grow. I usually use Great White but this stuff was $10 less and seems to be the same thing with how it gives the youngins a little kick in the butt the day after applying

gibbs ain't takin his helmet off,,, no way, he's too scared!!!!
.
the stuff in the dryer definitely looks different... I think you're on to something!!
it sucks you lose vacuum though. when mine did that i would moisten the seal a tiny bit, a little water, iced tea, spit, whenever i had on hand at the time...
my chamber is different though. i have their clear rectangle glass one.
but man i am a sucker for anything with dos si do in it!!! and what a killer deal!!!
i can't wait for gardening this year. I'm revamping the entire poly tunnel and changing the way i grow... i learned last year that if i use containers i can beat the horned caterpillars so this year i'm wiping out all the grow beds and dividers inside and laying heavy weed block on the floor and putting everything in containers. I'll probably leave one corner bare just for my strawberries and that big ass asparagus plant.
It was a great place to grow up. I spent all my time in the jemez mountains. Now in building my house in the Zuni mountains. The most magical place I've ever been. You can see all the stars at night......New Mexico doesn't get a lot of love but really it might be one of my favorites states. From Roswell to Ruidoso to Las Cruces I've had many enjoyable days and nights out there. Stargazing it next level out in the desert and makes me feel like I'm in outer space.
Yep I'm sold on the Mycos+! I've been religiously using Great White for years but shied away this grow due to pricing. Mycos+ was much less expensive with the same performance so I'll be using it from now on.
Man this year I putting as much focus in my peppers and veggies as I do weed. I got a pepper roaster for my Santa Maria and also want to pickle, make hot sauce, and make dry rubs. Containers are my jam too so it's gonna be an Earthbox garden.
Yeah I think maybe a little frost developed the first day and sprung a tiny little leak on the seal so it lost about 20% of the vacuum pressure. Since then I clean the rim again and it's been holding steady since.
I think this is day 4 or 5 and I'm starting to see significant change and results. It's really working!!!!
This is about the max pull I csan get it on it now and it stays put although I do go out there and turn the pump on for an hour or so 4x a day
View attachment 1325517
And down in the silica there's a lot more than just a peppering now. Lots of color change going from light blue to clear tells me the beads are taking in the moisture
View attachment 1325519
And the weed is getting that freeze dried look to it and some of the buds are kinda crispy dry. Usually frozen bud is kinda mushy and not really brittle but this is getting brittle and breaks up ez. Confidence is very high brother! I'm feeling like I've hacked the DIY freeze dryer with success!

Oh man, hardly any people and the ones that are there are fucking awesome. It's like we won the awesome life lottery. Except the working for a living part but somebody's gotta pay for government spending. It took me 3 months to frame and first roof deck. 4 days at my real job, then drive 2.5 hrs Friday night. Wake up Saturday and bust ass til Monday night then drive back to Albuquerque and start all over again. Had to take a break. Just got my roof deck inspection. Going back up this weekend.oh man, dry rubs, sauces,,, mmmmmm.... just last summer i started pickling for the first time. I can't wait to try again, i got a late start and had no idea what i was doing. i have some good spices to work with now so i can't wait for round two!!! i wish i could get more crunch too, i need to work on that.
you got my mouth watering now!!!!!! man i love a good home blended dry rub!!!!!
and yeah i'll be earthbox heavy as well... and i might try and work on an aquaponics system i've been planning for a few years. I have all the pieces gathered and the only thing that was standing in my way was the grow beds... they'll be gone and nothing will be holding me back except for running some power to the polytunnel. i sure as hell have enough fish!!! haha
