The wife’s- dead headed after the first round of flowers- she’s got got more left in her

Cloner- 2 days cut and still standing

Veg- the 2 groups of mothers weren’t even so I kept everything after taking the clones. There were 5 I wanted cloned so the extras went under hoods. Made these a good while back but still effective

Pure Michigan- flower day 0

Apples and bananas- 3 weeks flower

Plum Crazy- 6 weeks flower. Dropped to a 600 for the remainder. Lots of room for improvement but she’ll still put some bud in the tub

K&M ‘86- still undecided

Sexing a plant is similar to watching snow melt. Looking forward to the outcome but it’s painfully slow. Day 7 of 12/12 in these pics. There’s no male appendage's showing yet so that’s a plus. It’s putting a bottle neck on veg until I know for sure, 28 pots 28 plants

Really interested in the Apples & Bananas i've got a couple of them outdoors.

Beautiful!

Not sure how you want to correlate this to outdoors but she just set the daily consumption record, 23 gallon in 8 days, one plant. That’s just shy of 3gl/day while most plants hit the 2 gl mark. Keep an eye out, your girls might get thirsty

The Wife’s- this batch is flowering it’s 2nd set so some replacements are sprouting in veg

Cloner- 10 days cut. Hadn’t lost any yet so 3 got culled and Big K clones moved over

Veg- cleaned up the overpopulation and got the replacements going for the wife

a fella can learn by watching if you want. Other than a seed, new growth starts in the shadows for most branches of a plant. It’s where my thoughts on clones come from

I’m give K&M 86 all the time it needs, 9 days flipped

Pure Michigan x Okie- 1 week flower

Apples and bananas x Okie- 4 weeks flower

Plum Crazy x Okie- 7 weeks flower, if a person ignores the calendar and just looks at the plant then this gal is done. Coming down soon

Goal for today is my first true attempt at RSO. I’ve dabbled with washing but not for pure RSO. Read at article that talked about mixing everything cold, I went that route to maybe skip winterization.

So 2 ounces of decarbed Chemdog #4 and a bottle of grain alcohol in the freezer yesterday. Mix and sat for 20 minutes then strained off, all in the freezer. The final filter as it goes into the ghetto double boiler.
Yes I have a Buckner funnel and pump, will be used from now on. Learning purposes on this run

Note to self: this double boiler setup needs 205C

I’ll bet it boils that water off pretty quick! Can’t you just put the bowl of alcohol on the heat at about 90°C?

These things are really meant to work with the remote probe going into the liquid. That doesn’t work with this setup so to buffer the high heat spikes I use water

Darker than I expected but it’s not green lol.

Do you suck it up when it is still warm? How do you know the wax and lipid content unless you let it cool? Or isn’t there any? Just to get idea about the wash!

% guess work chuck. I did pull it up while it was still warm. There were no solids so what’s there stayed in suspension. It’s still heavy on the alcohol but what’s there will cook off easily

Right on! I may give this a try someday! So kind of playing the devils advocate! But learning from you!

That’s why I post these little gigs. We learn from each other, mistakes and successes!

Thats a nice pull! looks awesome!

11 days flipped, I think it’s safe to call this one a male. K&M 86 it just wasn’t your turn

Plum Crazy x Okie- 9 weeks flipped. This was a research/experiment grow running RDWC without an air pump. I relied on surface agitation from the return line to maintain dissolved oxygen levels.
Overall it was a success because I put something in the drier. Compared to other grows running f/d maybe not so much. I am 98% sure where I messed up, I’ll run this again in the future and find out.

I love it when an experiment turns out great!!!

She definitely looks good jj!!!
