Hey..This is my 1st CULTIVATED outdoor grow..Just began flushing yesterday(In pots..using Megacrop nutes) and was thinking about Bud washing (never tried it myself)..Any feelings on Bud Washing? My plan is to flash freeze the crop, make fresh frozen bubble, and then Rosin Press it..Gonna be a Busy Winter LOL

This year I just used a hose with tap water to get rid of any new pests. I don’t really flash freeze anything. Not my preference, however I dont see why not. I hear ya about busy. This is almost half way done. I’m smoked. I trim a bit different also.
I’ll show you my set up for that when I get the chance. Basically, I turned the Ferrari electric clippers into a formula one car by giving it s bigger power pack. I go over that first with electric and back over again with hand scissors. I’m happy with these seeds I’ve made though. I’ve got stock for a while of these. I’m finding a few S1s as well which is nice. Few and far between though. There were 24 plants out there and then ended up with 16 so some males may have thrown pollen. The males were males of glue cross and purple wreck and there was two males of Alaskan thunder fuck x Skunk 1 that I had to chop. And I actually ate those plants. Who knows maybe I’ll get a surprise bean cross in there. It’s happened before when I had two females that weren’t seeded but with only a couple what thought to be S1s turn out to actually cross the two plants side by side.Great job for your first crop outside! I recycle my soil and use super soil btw. I also compost. Straight filtered water into my soil. No pesticide preventative other than a garden hose on the plant.

Same here. I usually am making oils, balms, RSO, edibles, and whatever else I feel like maybe trying. I do have some bubble bags. And smoking the scissor hash has me reminded for sure. I kinda wish I knew someone who made live resin. Or had a closed looped CO2 system. I’m not really into bho. But sometimes I will take a dab off my friends rig. So many things you can do with it. I have my card as well with an extended plant count for edibles and such. It’s good medicine. The best for me I’m allergic to acetaminophen which is in most pain killers. Ganj does the trick just fine.

That’s awesome man. I’ve really thought a lot about the rosin thing. I would have to really scrap for cash though. I’m kinda in a unique sitution at the moment so extra money and time is tight for me. My day is taken, I have to do my stuff on my own at night. One of these days I’ll invest in a set up. Explain more about this fresh frozen? In my mind, I see freezing the buds first after a quick trim? And then making bubble hash with it? And how do you prep a bud for rosin? Second press, I’m assuming you have some experience with this.. Thank for sharing thr info. I’m curious about rosin. Never really had any. I’m in my own little world over here lmao. K I read it wrong. I’m obviously baked. Any way you’re making the rosin from the bubble hash. Do you use parchment paper and some particular setting on this press to achive the best quality/quantity?

This will be my 1st try at fresh frozen..
The tricks with pressing flower:
Cured bud..but not crap
Humidify bud to 62-65% for best yield and quality. (Fresh bud is too wet)
Press between 180-220 d F for maybe 60-90 seconds..you will hear it sizzle)
Always press a 2nd time ..ALWAYS.
Then use the spent pucks for cooking etc..

Thanks a lot for your time and pointing me in the right direction. This is something I would like to try one day. Happy Harvesting buddy. The pic could be a cross of glue and purple wreck. It kinda looks like it but I’ll know for sure in couple days. Almost half way done, phew.....

I’m going to let it go a few more days also.. Gotta love this full moon. Hahaha yeah using wife’s hair stuff would probably would get me slaughtered. I’m not going to lie though, I did already hahaha. But once only. I didn’t really use enough material to get anything. And I think that the hair thing I might have been using too fresh of weed.

I’m taking the ones most finished in sequence. I’ve got some others that finished early. One that finished extremely early. It was almost like an auto. Damn caterpillars loved it. I think I hosed about 4O of them off that early plant. The other plants got lucky and didn’t have any. But still fished early. I’m smoking stuff and it turned out good. I can tell the purple wreck slipped in there and a few others like this glue cross that smells like fuel, one that’s reminiscent of glue 4 but a bit heavier on the flavor palate. Some with coffee tones. And a few that are on the sweet and sour side. It’s getting cold here already. I’m thinking frost is going to be hitting early here. Colors in the mountains peaked way earlier than normal this year for us. El Niño is coming so it could be a big winter..Either way I’m happy. And I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Nap time
