Florida Growers Thread: Reloaded-ed

[Dawn Patrol]

Hugh if your buddy has hibiscus in his yard then spray them or remove them. My parents had some infested bad years ago and they made their way to my grow via me. For some reason the hibiscus seem prone to whiteflies Ive seen it several times in several places. They get so bad the plant looks greyish white. On a positive note this "yankee weather" might knock them and the spidermutes back....for a bit

I have one hibiscus near my grow and I use it as the indicator. When I see any pests on it, I know it's time to get serious as it's just a matter of time until the pests find the cannabis. Weird how it always seems to be the hibiscus first, but it's been that way for me for years.

You guys up north may have had some benefit from the "yankee weather" but here it just got cold enough to make me close the windows and break out a light blanket. Probably be the last cool weather here for the next 8 months or so.

Ill be honest with ya, the only thing I've ever seen get rid of a Whitefly infestation is a COMPLETE BREAKDOWN. Same goes for spider mites.
I mean yeah, you can knock em back but ive never seen them disappear. At least from what I consider an infestation. Then theirs the damaged plants from said infestation...
When i say infestation i mean Whieflies swarms so thick you end up breathing them in if you stay in the room too long.
Anyways, my 2cents from my experience. Yalls experience may vary

Good to see ya pop up AL, hope everything is well!

Still working on the right formulation of essential oils and I've made a lot of progress, but I haven't defeated them yet. Man I was wishing for a hard freeze this year to knock the bugs back.

Already saw lubbers hatching out so the cutworms will probably be close behind - if you have seedlings or young starts outside now or soon, watch them closely. This could be a record year for bug issues.

U try cedar oil??? They hate that stuff..... makes em run away for me...

WARNING! REALLY HIGH MEMBER POST!

Oh damnnn, if you guys don't have a BHO blast rig, get one. Blasting your own trim and sugar nugs is fucking awesome.

I've been smoking concentrates for well over a year now ( almost nothing but) and had been only making QISO once and a while to stretch out the budget. The quick wash is fine but you don't get the flavors you get with some nice shatter. blaa blaa..

Get a tube, some clean n-Butane, some bake-ware, vac purge (with heat) and a hot plate. And your enjoying some FLAVORFUL SHIT.

So much is written here in the forums that it is no problem getting a safe working process that works for you.


Been a long time since I've been this high. The flavor of my Mosca Cinderella BX-1 girl is still floating around in my nostrils.

Be Safe,
MK

is this a joke or something, QISO is terrible for you. just go get some bubble bags or silk screens and dry sift or wash. solventless is the best, i smoke bho but i do not recommend open blasting to anyone

MK, Good to see you back and posting!
DawnPatrol, everything is very well over here thank you

No joke what so ever.
QWISO is no worse then anything else. I guess it would be bad if you didn't purge it well. Same go's for any solvent derived hash.

My point was that WITH the INFORMATION available here in the forums "open blasting" is quite safe. At least as safe as putting gas in your car. Hell butane is slightly less flammable then gasoline ( gas 1.4 -7.6 per hundred parts per million, butane 1.8 - 8.4 per hundred parts per million)

So do some reading, watch a few vids, follow the safety precautions and start blasting.

Now if your accidented prone, forgetful or just not a safety orientated person then making BHO is NOT for you.


Hello to all. Sup Ass? Back up to speed yet?


Be Safe,
MK

With the complacency and other stoner stereotypical moves i see on some of the threads im not sure id trust people to purge properly ....

As much as i used to think otherwise, some people really shouldn't try to do everything.

Nothing against your post MK ....just some people seem more committed than others.

Maybe a rosin press for those others?

If you want to get into concentrates (which I recommend everyone does, so much cleaner and a better high!), I would recommend a Rosin press. You can start with a hair straightener and some parchment paper, nothing else needed.

Look up some videos and/or threads here (Here's our current 360 page thread lol https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=301794 ) .

Much safer than people blasting their own BHO open style and having all the residual butane in the product and you get more terpenes and other beneficials from Rosin over BHO.
