Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Thinking she might have set a record. Just finished 5 weeks and she is thirsty 22 gl. in 8 days, that’s 2.75 gallons per day consumed by one plant. I’ve had lots of 2 gallon plants but Geeze I can’t afford this gal

What’s the old saying🤔

If don’t succeed the first time. Bark Buster meet a North American Pecan tree, and lost.

Reached out to a Polish manufacturing firm foresplit dot com and let me tell ya, those guys take pride in their products! Well built and reasonably priced. Now to dismantle and rebuild

On a brighter note, the plan to run 8 mothers constantly has begun, one line at a time

Clone day- it’s a 28 day system but if I can shave a few days off each one I get an extra crop. Going for 14 harvest this year🫣
Splitting the mothers into 2 groups of 4, 8 total. Just 2 more to go with the newest addition; Plum Crazy x Okie

If it weren’t for bugs and other obvious reasons I would bring in clones only. Why? Because I suck at germinating is why.
Hydro you don’t have many options for seedlings, rockwool or peat moss. Anyways I finally hit a lucky streak and got the very last 2 beans to germ and hell even one came up. The strain is Gas Pedal from @Captspaulding . I had sent Full Gas to him and I received this line back. Full Gas x M86 . These last two got the paper towel then transferred to RW. Fingers crossed

Great work, Jadin! Gas pedal sounds tasty as hell.

I got my fingers crossed for you as well.
 
time for another round of wax. I was able to pull 18% last batch and only 3% from washing used pucks. If the yield from pressing stays above 15% there won’t be any more washing

40 grams Skywalker
60 grams Chemdog #4
115 grams Tropicana cookies

Going into a water bath overnight. There’s no moisture in the final product but the reaction of heat/pressure makes the oils separate better from the plant material when everything is moist going in
The Tropicana is all the lowers/b grade flower. There’s small pockets in the drier for these but the big buds are still a week out

this wasn’t a failure per say, I will salvage the thc out of the batch. There’s some wax but it’s gonna be mostly wash.

So what went wrong?
Too much moisture and I overfilled the bags.

Did one more press with some dry cured flower. 3 minutes at 5500 psi and it’s like we would expect old school pressed wax to look like
