It does need to happen sometimes, but it still makes me sad to see.........🧐
Sad yes, but to get the one you want……

Plants in the dryer will be coming out soon so I gotta make some room. Press the oldest is this months method. About a qp going and and from the looks so far she’s yielding pretty well. Some strains just don’t press well. Save those pucks! Pressing is a waste but damn it, wax is a treat

Summer protocols - Went into effect 5-1, since this grow was built I've ran my AC as early as March here in the US, it's May 6th and the AC is still sitting in the shop. I dropped down from 1000 watt bulbs to 600watt bulbs. I've been on the fence with the concept I run too much light 🤔. Running Cali Blues convinced me, she would have died at 30 days, was well on her way, then I dropped in a 600 MH and she finished just fine.

I run foxtails on most lines, now this part right here i have proven to myself, it's caused primarily but excessive light. @Lockebox and @Captspaulding had the discussion about foxtails from an LED, turns out excessive light. If I run a line and she starts shooting out those tails, just drop the lights down to a 600 and it stops. All things given there might not be much output change but if there is, that's fine too.

Yes sir haha, an LED at 100% intensity, 6” from the plant has been known to cause some fox tails In My grows.

I do think last grow my foxtails were partially genetic, due to the GMO because I had a a couple phenos over 2’ away from the light and they both fox tailed like crazy.

Heat could’ve been my issue, but the max temp was like 85° and from what i understand about LED growing that’s not terribly hot.

I’ve had an auto within an inch of an led for over a month now and it’s crushing. It’s definitely getting over lit and little burnt, but this plant wouldn’t know a fox tail if you see it haha!

Looks awesome as always JJ!

Some people see the fox tails and think “exotic” so it’s working out for me 🤣

Pressed my grinder keif....just recently upgraded from rosineer presso pro to the mighty 10...

Also try bagging your flower with bottletec folding method... it actually does increase yields

If doing a normal flat press... turn your bags inside out... the rosin won't collect on the seems

I put the processing tent in the corner for a bit. The glue for the racks was a complete failure. So, get a welder out . I’m not getting an Argon tank to run stainless wire. Sure it would be ideal but the cost, not happening. Stainless rods for my stick welder are $5 per rod, again not happening. So it’s fluxcore carbon steel wire and maybe something sticks.
