Diary Just one more ride...

Yeah i would say she is pretty special. Headband like, Rails of frost to the tips of the leaves. Strong effect and smell aren’t enough now for the premium, its got to be frosty and look as good as they have ever seen so people want to show it to their friends. Super boof has those rails.

Same up here in my neck of the woods.... The frost factor is king (regardless of the effects). They always want the frostiest stuff first. But if they would only try the others like the 91, headband etc, they would be hooked instantly. Its hard to beat that old school power, tried and true. But hey, we gotta push out what the market wants.... Keep a good flow and replace all the PGR trash coming in through usps (straight poison).

I'm working really fucking hard towards a setup like yours, the space specifically... I'm gonna do my best to keep mine beneath the soil, I'm hooked on the underground and you can't beat the extreme insulation and discretion that comes along with it.

Day 1 of flower. Some baby fat leafed rotten bananas (gmo x banana og). Then the best vinaigrette vegger with an expressive leaf twist and queen of the south finishing up.

Looking great man! Can't wait to see them a few weeks in. I'm at day 28 now and things are looking pretty good. I ended up culling a few of my weakest plants that were on the sidelines getting less light and now happy that I did. Being smothered is never fun...

You have such a clean and beautiful setup.

Are you gonna be comparing the yields between the led side and the hps? What kind of LEDs did you go with? I think after harvest I'll be purchasing some LEDs myself, that will give me over a foot of extra headspace and cooler temps. I'm thinking of going with the HLGs...

Yeah i will see if there is a differnce in yield but its mainly to see if the new leds grow the best flowers. Running a row of leds in each room lets me run the rooms separate instead of sharing air between the rooms to have enough ac which will allow me to better control humidity and co2 and run 3 flower rooms. The room that has started to flower has the luxx 860s. The second room is 5 hortilux leds just because i always liked their bulbs. Here is the undercarriage of the new tables. I have the 10 hlgs in room 3 that will get set in 5 weeks

nice room

The blue dream row is shaping up nice. Squished out 1000 grams yesterday.

 

[flower~power]

That’s the Santa Cruz Blue Dream...correct? Coincidentally I just got that cut back after many years in this one I would definitely fill a room with $ well worth it ... due to yield mainly

 

[Itsmychoice]

Its supposed to be. They are big plants so no excuses. I grew one out last spring and the smell was what got it the opportunity, citrus delicious is the only way i can describe it. I have a jar of it left and i do like the effect, its sativa energy for me. I got one called platinum truffles this week i am excited about.

 

[DunHav`nFun]

What kinda yield did you squish out of a kilo of nuggage Its ?......I know it varies from strain to strain percentage wise , but was just curious.......Rooms and plants lookin top shelf as usual Bro......anyways.......Keep strokin and.......

Peace.......DHF........

I freeze and dry ice tumble about 500-700 grams of dry trim at a time. That makes between 120-200 grams of kief in 2 5 minute tumbles in a 220 micron drum. Then i put 50 grams of kief in each 3x6 120 micron bag and about 20-25 grams of concentrate squeezes out on the paper. 50 squishes makes 1000 grams. A squish is light pressure warm up for 1-2mins then full pressure 180 degrees for 1-2 mins, a timer is key for everything. 12 squishes an hour is the goal while you keep the tumbler tumbling. I load the trim in turkey bags with a few handfuls of pelletized dry ice in each and it sits in a subzero freezer at -40c until its turn to tumble. The freezer holds 12-15 500 gram or so bags of trim which i consider a days work. I usually have some one filling rosin bags with kief to keep things moving while I tumble and squish.

I have bought and made several tumblers, yesterday it was the bubble magic 1500 and its alright, easy enough. After 5 min the kief color starts to get green so I keep the second tumble separate from the first. I have tried many ways and this way is the best to me for rosin that still has a good taste. We use it to make everything from lotion to chocolates.

Summary: 12-15 or so pounds of trim makes 1000 grams of squish and takes 40-50lbs of dry ice.

Holy shit Batman.....I thought you were squishin a kilo , but you were yieldin a kilo of rosin.....Its you are the man.....Thanks for all you do plus invaluable info for those that listem......Talk about a well-oiled machine......Respect.......

Peace......DHF.......

Its not always pretty, I empty the shop vac way too much

 

[flower~power]

So tonight I am employed the ancient principles of siphoning to carry out my runoff & once I got going it works really well ! I’m flushing my plants right now so I hooked up a garden hose to my sink there’s a valve on the end of the hose with a nice spray cap and so I could just stay in the room and douse them till the runoff trays and buckets were filled …then I got a syphon going with a different hose & ran it downstairs and out the doors.. it was nice…Sure beats walking in and out of a crowded room and zillion times

That full shop vac sound change is a dreaded sound

 

[flower~power]

Here is the Santa Cruz Blue Dream I picked up the cut from my friend Dan back in 2016 he passed away RIP

I gave it to my other friend Charlie who held it all the time now I’ve ran it quite a bit and I intend to run it again inside and outside

 

[Itsmychoice]

Trying to run 3 rooms, loading one every 3 weeks. The second room went into flower today. Cherry AK, kushmints, super boof, divine banana, white truffle cheese, first class funk, a few chemdawg, and 24 relentless rotten banana seed plants. The first room’s lemon fire og seed plants stretched up into the lights. Then one of the newest room about 2 weeks from done.

Its campfire building season.
