Looking good love the strawberries.
Always loving the show. Very detailed and thought out. Love it
Are those qb’s half 66’s or something else? Nice work on the run btwHarvested over the last few days and all is in drying/curing. Got 5.5 lbs wet with 35 grams of 120 micron dry ice hash.
Don't have the buds dry enough yet for final weigh in. I am guessing about 1.25 lbs after a good cure. Some of the buds are already in jars because they were drying too fast.
For me with only a few years of growing experience this is a good harvest and is the best so far. I am running 750 watts (true power) COBs. I know I am nowhere near the dick wagging bragging level of many but remember not all of us are master growers.....yet. I like to be straight up about my numbers.
No C02 yet but other environmental controls are pretty tight. would like to add C02 soon but I need other equipment first. Need a chiller for my veg tent as Summer is coming and I wont be able to keep the water cool enough soon.
If I make .75 to .85 grams per watt I'll be on target for this cycle. I am patient and develop processes slowly so I think getting to 1 gram per watt is on the horizon. The next cycle will be the first with truly sorted genetics for this strain and I am still running some seedlings looking for that one or two phenos I have seen in previous cycles. One of the monsters wouldn't clone worth a shit and the other one is continuing on and does clone fine.
If I could get a whole run of that pheno I could easily break the 1 gram mark and probably better. The next two runs will be only 6 plants as opposed to 8 because I am only allowed 10 and 4 will be considered "mature" and growing outside all Summer so I'll be limited to 6. Usually I try for 10 but my room is really optimized for 8 and so the canopy size is more of what determines my output.
So, onward and upward with the next cycle. My teenagers were ready on the exact day of harvest so in addition to the harvest and days of trimming I had to clean the room and system and then move the teens in. Been working my ass of this last week.....Trimming is a real chore! Cleaning and recharging all the systems are as well.
One plants output, Sorry for the blurry picture cause I got sticky finger hash on the lens. :) Also, I don't trim super close because I keep my harvest for me and I think the trimming for "bag appeal" is a waste of good frosty material

The veg tent is QB 120's (2) at 60 watts per. I would like to add one more.Are those qb’s half 66’s or something else? Nice work on the run btw
Quite the sophisticated setup you have there! Good job! I plan on saving my trim to make tinctures. I already have a ton of sugar leaves and I’d hate to waste them.

Just did some tinctures today. First time I have done anything but RSO. I used all my trim to have dry ice 120 micron hash made. Then I disolved a small quantity in Everclear, heated and filtered it. Then I reduce it to boil off all the alcohol and then decarboxylate it for an hour at 240F and now I have an RSO equivalent without all the clorophyll and plant lipids in it. In-other-words clean RSO. Then I make gelcaps as a daily medication. This time I saved some of the tincture to try the under the tongue method.
Tincture then?Dang! That’s awesome you can do all that. I was was going to try kosher vegetable glycerin and process it over night in a canning jar in a crockpot. Found a decent recipe with good reviews.
Tincture then?
I went to test one small bud that was quite dry but definitely not cured but wanted to test drive. Well, lets just say I am feeling quite well. I was so inspired I used the leftover oil that couldn't be scraped out of the beaker and heated it with some butter. This pulled all the residual oil into the butter. Then made some awesome snicker-doodles. I always try to find a way to avoid wasting anything.

Yes, tinctures. I still need to get something to decarb in that will contain most of the smell. I was reading about the Magical Butter Silicone Decarboxylation Thermometer DecarBox Combo pack but I’m not sure if it will live up to all the hype. I read about the Alcholol based tinctures but since this would be my first time making them, I want to at least master the easy method first. Then maybe I’ll graduate to the Alcholol based method.
